Your Daily Dose of Christmas

This is The Wife’s favorite Christmas song. It isn’t mine, but it’s right up there in my personal ranking. Here’s Bing Crosby singing “Do You Hear What I Hear”. I love the orchestrations in this arrangement — there are lots of little effects that add a Middle Eastern flavor to a very Western song.

Your Daily Dose of Christmas (also, Something for Thursday)

I did this a few years ago, and I figured it’s time to do it again: a video clip pertaining to Christmas each day until…Christmas. Some will be funny. Some will be straight music. Some might not be music at all. Who knows!

We’ll start with the Muppets and their take on what is my least favorite Christmas song. This now establishes that there is one version of “Carol of the Bells” to which I will listen without reaching for the ‘skip’ button!

If you don’t watch this video, I will fight you.

That’s no lie.

That little girl is the daughter of two very dear friends of mine, whom I’ve known since college. In fact, I’ve known Krista longer than I’ve known The Wife! Anyway, they’ve made this video as an entry in some contest where they can win a trip to Disney World if their video gets a sufficiently large number of hits and comments. So, watch it. Watch it several times. You don’t really even have to watch it; just click it and let it play while you do something else. YouTube doesn’t know if you’re sitting there watching the video. But it is cute! And Aaron and Krista are awesome.

So watch. Do it for the child. (Literally. It’s for the kid!)

PS: If anyone else you know is entering this contest, well, screw them. This is war, people!
