All I Want For Christmas

Metafilter has a roundup of hockey players doing videos of Christmas songs, most of them lip-synched to someone else's music, performed by quite a few players who'd obviously rather be doing something else. Then in the comments we learn about the Chicago Gay Hockey Association's Christmas greeting, featuring hockey players actually singing a cover of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You." Some of the players sing pretty well, while others don't, but that's not the point. They all have a great time showing you how much fun a Christmas song can be. The message is:

We want you to put aside your differences.

And to spend some time getting closer to your family and friends.

If you take a step back and look, you may surprise yourself with how much you have in common with people.

The person next to you on the train could become your best friend.

After all, aren’t we all just looking for love?

Don’t forget to laugh a little.

And sing a little.

And remember to have fun!

Happy Holidays y’all!   

Oh, and don't miss the kick line at 3:30. (via Metafilter)
