Thanks to the efforts of others (Rose, via Cheryl, and Warren Ellis), I watched two videos this weekend that seemed to really put me in the spirit of the season.

The first, an a cappella group from Indiana University doing a medley of Christmas songs. These ten guys start off with a rendition of “The 12 Days of Christmas” but end up many places by the time they are done. It’s a great arrangment.

The second isn’t about Christmas, or the winter holiday season, per se. It’s a trailer for a new Japanese film called Machine Girl. It’s a bit extreme, and even this trailer is not intended for younger viewers.

Happy holidays!
