Christmas is the season to spread some love and cheer so here’s something I hope you’ll all love and will cheer you all up on these long and lonely dark nights. Don’t forget to sing out loud.
I hope you enjoy it and your families during this Merry Season. (Said in a voice-over Muppets Christmas Movie kinda way)
