a love video

Tim performed at his office party......
as part of his preparation for a solo act, he was scanning YouTube for ideas for choreography to fill a sixteen second instrumental break in the karaoke track of Jerry Herman's "We Need a Little Christmas."

While watching Angela Lansbury, Lucille Ball, Mitzi Gaynor, the Purdue University Glee Club, various amateur dance and holiday recitals, and even the Sims(!), he discovered that the instrumental break is a feature for radio (and, apparently karaoke). Most of the live shows skip right past it.

Then he found this homemade music video of the song, done by a local teenager, and starring her family.

And while the actors are self-conscious, the whole thing is done with love.

Way more sincere than the Purdue Glee Club.
When he watched it he said...."
I'm crossing my fingers that when our boys are teenagers, they have the chutzpah to do this un-ironically."

I pass it on as a tribute to all that is good in human nature and hope that families around the world can find peace and krismas love.
