These videos really hit home for me

You may have seen these already, but they are new to me and really invoke an emotional response in light of the state of the world these days. Hope they bring a smile or tear to you as well.

Please add your own if related.

Indeed, dawgfan, they are lovely. And the second one did bring a slight tear to my eye.

The nicer part of this is that it's not just Christmas that gets "redefined" but this time of year in general brings out a lot of good in people that may be there but may not come out otherwise.

I'm Jewish, and my temple - while doing and promoting charitable work many times through the year - does even more this time of year. It's an amazing feeling to be able to give of your time, or to help monetarily if you can afford it.

Seeing large groups like this get together and spend their time creating and performing something beautiful helps bring warmth into so many hearts. Well done.....

Thanks for posting.
