My favorite Christmas videos
In the absence of cable, I’ve started treating some of my favorite YouTube videos like TV shows in syndication—meaning I’m happy to watch them again, like a rerun. Every December, I pull up my playlist of Christmas content and let it (jingle bell) rock. Here’s what’s on it.
