Gene, I wonder why YouTube says "this video is not available in your country"...

Mike, that's lovely, makes your feet tapping...And please send that second mister over, quickly! (But do keep the first fellow!)

Everyone always seems to like Heat Miser more. We could use him here also. It is about 16 degrees right now.

I like anything done by the Trans-Siberian.

Here's a new holiday song that I bet both Abraham and Mary would enjoy (if they knew about the 21st-century dietary complaints).

That was nice Rob.
