It’s Christmastime on YouTube

Ack. I know, I know, I said I’d start posting Monday or Tuesday, but sadly, life got in the way. You have my deepest apologies. I suck.

But on to the matter at hand: YouTube. Granted it may seem like an odd place to find holiday cheer, but in addition to videos of dogs riding skateboards you can also find all kinds of holiday fun – and by holiday fun, I mean silly Christmas videos (including some of questionable taste)! So, if you already feel the holiday stress pressing down upon you, just take a look at these videos and remember that everything – even Christmas – shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

Mom & Her Christmas Tree – A Jersey mom and her obsession with her Christmas tree. I have to insist that you watch all of this guy’s videos because he’s absolutely hilarious and creates some of the greatest characters.

The 12 Days of Christmas with Janice Dickenson – Don’t lie, you know you love Janice Dickenson and her special brand of crazy. I personally spent most of the video trying to figure out if she was drunk or not, but you can watch it however you like.

The Star Wars Holiday Special in Five Minutes – Oh dear lord. I’ve never seen the Star Wars Holiday Special, and after watching this, I think I may keep it that way. Highlights include Han Solo having a special moment with a wookie and Carrie Fisher’s unfortunate singing voice.

A 1776 Christmas – Once, my friend Anna drew a stick-figure recreation of the Battle of Turtle Creek which included George Washington telling a Native American, “Back off bitches!” I still find it hilarious, which probably explains why I love this video so much. Some wonderful, wonderful person on the internet took scenes from the movie 1776, pulled out the audio, and turned it into a Christmas-themed silent movie.

I’ll try to post another entry tomorrow, but we’re having Thanksgiving dinner with the relatives, so it might not happen. I’ll try my best though.
