it’s not christmas, but this song will cheer your mood


maybe? I don’t know. I have loved this song for years, it is easily my favorite Christmas tune, and one that I love introducing people to for the first time. I have included it on dozens of CD compilations, both holiday inspired and not. But it wasn’t until today, as I was browsing through artist Derek Hess’s website that I discovered that there is a video too! (in fact there are a ton of videos, but this one is pretty funny)

From Wikipedia:

Dominick the Donkey is a Christmas song written by Ray Allen, Sam Saltzberg, and Lou Monte, first sung by Monte in 1960. The song describes a donkey who helps Santa Claus bring presents to children in Italy.
