Neil, You’ve finally gotten back into film making! <3 Love the video.
V-Grrrl @ Compost Studios posted Joy
I considered participating this year, but I now realize how badly upstaged I would have been. These are great! Enjoyed seeing my friends’ musical and photographic talents.
Father Muskrat posted violent
Wonderful, as always. Needed this cheer.
Loved every entry. I always forget how talented your readers are!
That was JUST what I needed this morning! Bravo to all of you! Thank you for producing this fun concert, Neil. Your video was great!
And, I second all three of V-Grrrl’s comments!
Chrisy posted The Too-Tall Tree
Since my laptop died a year ago, I never EVER read blogs any more. I make an exception for your annual concert posts, my friend. Worth it, as usual. Almost makes my heart just two sizes too small, instead of the typical three.
Karl posted RIP Steve
::wild, unfettered, joyous applause::
twobusy posted Proving yet again that I’m not nearly cool enough to act too cool to care

gorillabuns posted duty, you said doody.
I like worshipping at the Church of Suebob. : )

Kate gets an Oscar for her performance with her Elf on the Shelf.
V-Grrrl @ Compost Studios posted Pulled into the light
This was so fantastic! Thank you for letting me join in at the last minute and I hope my howling of O Holy Night wasn’t unbearable.
Amiyrah posted Christmas Gift Ordering Gone Wrong
It was lovely and obviously heartfelt.
Karl should sing with Kate next year, ha ha ha
V-Grrrl @ Compost Studios posted Pulled into the light
Amiyrah, I loved your version of O Holy NIght, so moving, and I love that you did more than one verse.
Fadra gets an award for Best Props.
V-Grrrl @ Compost Studios posted Pulled into the light
Alexis, what an amazing song and performance. LOVE. I’m a Christian tree-worshiper, so I relate to this song.
V-Grrrl @ Compost Studios posted Pulled into the light
It had been too long since I’d heard Gabriel’s Message and Lullay, Lullay. Such beautiful carols. : )
V-Grrrl @ Compost Studios posted Pulled into the light
I’ll shut up now. Happy Holidays, Y’all.
V-Grrrl @ Compost Studios posted Pulled into the light
Kudos to everyone!
Vikki posted Labels Jars Not People
Nicely done as usual. This was a lot of fun.

Holy cow and THANK YOU.
I haven’t smiled since Friday, I just haven’t, but starting with one to the bottom of everything here: THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
How I love that you do this, Neil.
Such talent and bravery! Loved it. Thanks again for putting it together. It’s always a treat.
Every year I think it’s too bad you have to submit videos because that’s too hard and if only you could just submit a photo.
Then your tribute comes out and I read it and go, “Oh.”

Also, New Zealand looks beautiful and the picture of Juli with her hair all wild and crazy? LOVE IT!

You’re all awesome. Thank you!
Megan posted Move Along
Loved it. Vikki, you and your kids made me smile until my cheeks hurt. Kate, I loved your elf (he wasn’t ever out of tune) – so cute, and everyone else too. This was loads of fun. Thank you for doing it, Neil.
marty posted Thank a teacher today

I enjoyed each performance. Happy Holidays!
I may be an idiot this morning but I can’t see where to link up my song so I’ll just put it here and hope you’ll add it for me.
Here’s The 12 Days of Chrismukkah:

So enjoyed these and need all the holiday cheer we can get right now.
I love this thing more and more every year. And, yes, I called it a thing.

Great selection. Most of these I’ve never heard before. It’s nice to listen to new (to me) Christmas songs. I enjoyed Christmas in Mississippi particularly. That’s a lovely little red roof house in the snow.
Hazel Anastasia posted Snow
Thanks for letting me participate again this year! I loved watching everyone. I have a newfound respect for some, admiration for others, and total amusement for the rest.
Now when is someone going to give Erin (of Swonderland) a recording contract?
