Christmas Jukebox: Marshmallow World
There aren’t enough Christmas Specials on TV these days. And there aren’t enough sets mocked up to look like homes either. I even think there isn’t enough silliness. The above clip ticks all those boxes I think.

A rockabilly sort-of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus-type thing for your Friday night.
The song doesn’t actually mention Christmas, but the title does, albeit within parentheses, and I don’t think I really need an excuse to post a Harry Nilsson song anyway. This is a time of year where we often find ourselves looking back in some way or other, so I think this is a pretty apt festive song.

For those of you getting ready for a melancholy Christmas…
This gives me shivers, so beautiful and moving. Such a powerful yet restrained performance, such a simple yet clever arrangement. Everything in service to the song.
