Above you see our second PopCult Video Christmas Card for this year.

A couple of weeks ago Mel and I went to Light The Night at Charleston’s Go Mart Park. It’s a wonderful light show, underwritten by several generous corporate sponsors, and I decided to shoot some shaky video on my soon-to-be-replaced phone.

I had enough footage to cut together a brief music video, and for the music I decided to re-use a song that was recorded for a Radio Free Charleston Christmas episode a dozen years ago.  It’s Mel singing, accompanied by our dear, late friend, Mark Scarpelli.  The song is the Vince Guaraldi classic, “Christmastime Is Here” from the first Charlie Brown Christmas special.

And we send it along to you with our fondest holiday wishes while we are celebrating Mel’s birthday in the City of Wind.
