    One of my favorite Christmas songs and the ornament is adorable

    I got one last year, and my husband rolled his eyes. It is such a goofy song, which is why I love it. He complains at all Christmas songs are the same, just 100 different versions. No one else has ever done this song. I got last year’s version too.
