Merry Christmas to all my blog readers who celebrate!
It's time for a couple of videos.
Last Christmas by Wham! has become one of those classic Christmas songs. It was written, produced and sung by George Michael, who, perhaps ironically, died on December 25, 2016. The song, incidentally, was not intended as a Christmas song (it's more a breakup song) but it has become one. The video is well worth watching.
For my Jewish readers, let me offer Christmastime for the Jews, originally shown on Saturday Night Live in 2005, has become another classic. The song is sung by the great (and still performing at age 80) Darlene Love, lead singer of the Blossoms, who was also lead singer in "He's a Rebel" by the Crystals.
Finally, for your viewing pleasure, some Christmas Villages.
These are from Binghamton's Roberson Museum and Science Center's "Home for the Holidays".
No matter what your religion, may your day be merry and bright.
...I hope that you are well and merry today.
