One of my favorite Christmas tunes… and I’ve never heard it quite like that before. I’ll bet just about every song is better on ice skates. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing; that was cute.

I’m a bit confused aboot one thing though … The song runs for 2-1/2 minutes. And they’re in daylight the whole time. I thought Regina would be in near-perpetual darkness this time of year, with maybe a few seconds of twilight.

And blizzards; continuous blizzards. Yeah that’s it.
