SNL Classic: Token 12 Days of Christmas

Aw yes, it's time for my most favorite SNL skit of Christmas:

The Christmas Card: Token 12 Days of Christmas

Back when we launched The Spinoff, I tried to post a hillarious clip from Seinfeld (perhaps the funniest show ever on TV), but NBC is full of nit-wits and imbeciles so I couldn't find many that I could embed from YouTube. Well, we're now at the holidays and there are plenty of Seinfeld clips that could and should be posted. And thankfully, TBS came to the rescue, albeit we've had to split this clip up.

So here's perhaps one of the funniest Seinfeld scenes of all time, on the funniest show of all time, during one of the funniest Christmas episodes of all time (next to Festivus... check back tomorrow for that!).

Love Songs: Token 12 Days of Christmas

So I slacked off yesterday and didn't post a special Token 12 Days of Christmas post. So here's a little list of my favorite Christmas love songs. Because lets face it, most songs are love songs.

Last Christmas, Wham!
A great little love song by a boy-duo from the UK, featuring George Michael and his great melodies. One of my favorite Christmas songs.



Baby It's Cold Outside
Not exactly a Christmas song, per say, but it is a great winter classic. Everyone has done a version of this song, but one of my favorites is from the new-classic, Elf, where the beautiful Zooey Deschannel sings it in the shower.



All I Want For Christmas is You, Mariah Carey
Perhaps one of the best Christmas songs of all time (in my opinion), Mariah Carey's timeless love song keeps us warm at night just thinking of her signing for us.

Mayhem comes: Token 12 Days of Christmas

I've become a big fan of good Christmas commercials, and I have a favorite for this year. It's the Allstate Mayhem Guy giving us his take on the 12 Days of Christmas. Great stuff.

Friday night movie suggestion: Token 12 Days of Christmas

We'll, we're about a week away from Christmas, so how about we tune into some holiday cinema? Here are some of my favorites:

Elf
Probably one of the best Holiday movies in a long time, Elf still makes me laugh with Will Farrell in one of my favorite roles-a human raised by elves in the North Pole.



Die Hard
This is a Christmas movie, no matter what you think. And because of that, I love it. A perfect holiday action movie, with Bruce Willis spreading holiday cheer!



It's A Wonderful Life
A true holiday classic, that is perhaps more poignant in these economic times. There's nothing better then hearing James Stewart's signature bravado tell us where the money really is, then thinking of jumping off a bridge because he regrets his life. A true story of resilience and not giving in when you think it's over. A holiday treat.

Holiday Spoofs: Token 12 Days of Christmas

Token Sports just posted The Twelve Pains of Christmas, one of my favorite Christmas spoof songs of all time. BUT I've just been told about another one that may rival it.

Fay McKay, or The Drunken Lady, was a Las Vegas performer during the Golden Age of Vegas, and was known for doing The Twelve Daze of Christmas during this time of year. So feast your eyes on her performance from a few years ago.

Can you spot the differences? Token 12 Days of Christmas

Here's a nice little piece by the Great Bing Crosby and the Great David Bowie. After it, however, is an almost exact replica by Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.

iBand plays our favorites: Token 12 Days of Christmas

Well, now we really are 12 days away from Christmas, unlike my post early yesterday, when we were 13 days away. But this means we can start celebrating! And what better way then to combine some nerdiness with some holiday cheer.

So here is the North Point iBand, playing some holiday favorites with nothing but iPads. Pretty cool if you ask me.
