Surprising as it might sound, it’s possible for one to feel quite ‘over’ Christmas; sometimes when the season seems to have barely begun. Yes, really. To feel that, if you ever hear another rendition of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer piped through the department store sound system, you may not be held responsible for your subsequent actions.
If this is you, the following two videos may be the last thing you want; but then again, they might be just the ticket you need to find a little more seasonal spirit.
Enter three of the best singer-performer-actors of the 20th century with their semi-serious, largely cheesy but totally charming take on the silly season. Welcome Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and…. a young David Bowie.
Video 1:
From the TV special Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank, first aired 20 December 1957. Frank and Bing sing Jingle Bells and tipple back some nitro nog.
Video 2:
Bing Crosby and David Bowie sing The Little Drummer Boy as part of a charming, if confected, ‘neighbours’ scenario.
Go on, you know you’ll love it!
