BECAUSE THE WEB MOSTLY SUCKS

When I was a kidlet my pop would let us watch all the Christmas specials. I remember watching this when it was on the telly and falling in love with this version of the song. Fast forward umpteen years later and I'm working my first Christmas at the Warner Brothers Studio Store and this video pops on the big screen. All of a sudden I'm a kidlet again with my eyes glued to the screen. One day I was doing some work in the jewelry boat and didn't see the customer nearby, I guess I just started singing when the song came on and when it was done I was greeting with a "you have a very nice voice" followed by me turning beet red. I looked over at the register where my boss and other co-workers were and they had these huge grins on their face. Later on my boss there would tell me how it didn't matter where I was in the store when the video came on I'd get a huge smile on my face and start singing along. The thing is, I never even realized I was doing it.

I worked for Warner Brothers for 3 years, and they played this every year which made me super happy.

So from me to you, I wish you the warmest wishes for the holidays and a prosperous new year.

That just made me smile really big too! Thanks for this - David's counterpoint singing just gives me goose bumps every time. Nice story - I sure miss that Warner Bros store. I love your avatar dog pictures. :-) Happy Christmas!
