A video Christmas card from Cheeseboy and his sons. WARNING: You are going to need the tissues.

Please excuse the quality of the video, but do not excuse the awesomeness of my singing.

FYI: I HATE this song and make fun of it constantly, so it is okay to say as much in the comments.

    I commented and then read it and realized it was my classic sarcasm that might be misinterpreted. Let's try again, shall we?

    Do you hire out??

    And that little cutie on the couch that did the background snapping was my favorite....

    it's the hat. that's what makes your version of this classic song so special. and the floating shoes.

    Hope you're having a jolly holiday Cheese Boy.

    shoot - I wish I could hang that on the wall with all my real life Christmas Cards - the neighbors would be SO jealous!!!

    should I admit now that this is the most made fun of song at our house this season? if that offends, let's just pretend I do no such thing... and certainly don't read a book review I did last year which may or may not have poked fun at this song :)

    I heard somewhere that the sign of a good singer was that they closed their eyes when they sang ballads! LOL Great song...I love the dancing shoes :)

    This is the best singing Christmas card I've ever heard. In fact, it's the only one I've ever heard and it touched my heart *sniff*.

    I'm amazed that you could reach that high note at the end.

    Thank you Cheeseboy. From the snapping of your little one, to the shoe model behind you, to your (ahem) singing, you all did a great job. (dabbing tears from my eyes)

    Yes, a stupid song, but loved the boots! If I met Jesus wearing those boots, I'd be..well, I'd be in heaven.

    Oh, my. I'm overcome with emotion here! But I really want to hug that little finger-snapper.

    You really have to submit a photo for the Wrestling With Retirement Bloggers' Swimsuit edition. It won't be nearly as humiliating as that video--plus, you can remain anonymous! lol

    You are so right, I'm glad you picked this song to ridicule. It is absolutely the worst Christmas song out there. I also do not like Paul Mccartney's, Wonderful Christmastime.

    A very talented Cheeseboy family!

    I had never heard that song before and I don't feel that I have gained any advantage by now being exposed to it. I appreciate the great efforts of yourself and (fantastic) supporting actors. However, I would appreciate it if you could now make like Elvis and leave the building taking your shoes with you (maybe next time you could try dressing like Mariah in santa suit to see how that goes down - 2 little elves to accompany you?!)

    As much as I adore you and your family, that was perhaps the most painfully long vlog I've ever seen. What a horrible song. :) I appreciate all the emotion you poured into it, along with your kids' precious back-up snapping and shoe dancing.
    Merry Christmas to you all. xo

    I have no doubt that your boys were just as excited to participate as you were to make it. Great snapping from Calder...except when he pauses to give you a quizzical look. Love it!

    Now that I've wiped the tears from my eyes (from laughing hysterically), I can comment objectively: it was a little pitchy, you'll have to work on that. Change the hat to a pull-on knit cap, and get a pair of red high heels. I think Simon Cowell will agree with me.

    P.S. - I didn't know you could hit the Mariah Carey notes!

  44. Joann MannixDecember 5, 2010 at 12:03 PM

    Do your boys know they don't have a normal father? My girls, teenagers, are just starting to come to the conclusion that I am not your average bear mama.

    The synchronized shoe dance was just awesome and could there be a cuter finger snapper? If I got some Christmas boots like that, I would go to Jesus with a smile on my face. Your wife has great taste in shoes, assuming and hoping they are hers and not yours.

    Thanks for the Christmas vlog, Cheese. But I'm not really happy that I now have that crap song playing in my head. Time to crank up my iPod.

    The boys? Absolutley fabulous. Lincoln's shoe show was the icing on the cake.

    The hat? Perfect touch?
    Facial expressions? Emotions well done without being overplayed.

    Westland T-shirt? Shout out to the home dogs is always necessary.
