We now commence this year’s countdowns of Christmas and Hannukah videos, an annual feature here at newsfromme.com. This year, we’ll be posting two Christmas videos each day up to and including December 25. One will be new to this site. The other will be one we’ve featured before and someone — more likely, several someones — asked to see it again. We’ll also post eight days of Hanukkah videos — a mix of the new (to us here) and the old. I like doing this because it’s a lot easier and cheaper than stringing lights all over my house and then taking them down next June…

Our “oldie” today is from an old episode of The Tonight Show back when it was hosted by the often-divorced Johnny Carson. Here, he is joined by his announcer Ed McMahon and his bandleader, Doc Severin — two more men who were paying a lot of alimony…
New to this blog this year is Jason Owen and his combo turning a song that really isn’t into a Christmas song into a Christmas song…

And here from Sesame Street is a quick lesson about Hanukkah. No, I don’t know who did the voices but the narrator lady sure sounds like Nora Dunn…
P.S., added later: Several of you have written to tell me it’s not Nora Dunn, it’s Andrea Martin. Okay, I can buy that.
