I'm the Weird Uncle. I'd say that I'm the Cool Aunt, but I've come to the conclusion that I am, in fact the Weird Uncle. Today I went to the Polar Express alone, because my Niefling didn't want to go. So I livebloged it, Face-timed with him, and brought him the goodies.
I was sitting at dinner afterward with my brother and his wife, and the two kiddos. Both kids love music, and the tiny one will jam to anything with a good beat. I'm entirely convinced that one will learn to speak properly specifically so Siri will understand.
So there we are and I bring up Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This led to my playing "Wizards In Winter" for the kids, and dancing along.
For those who don't know which song I mean, Yes, You Do.
And it plays along and when it gets to That Part, right at the 30 second mark, and right there, at the table I turn into one of those blow up noodle guys. Just full-on
Head thrown back, eyes closed l, arms waving wildly.
The kids are 5 and almost 2. They went ape shit.
And of course it goes "wild flailing for five full seconds" followed by an abrupt stop, look around all confused and jump right back into it, pause, etc.
In the end I decided to behave as though my hands are fully possessed and I'm kind of trying to get them back under control.
I mean, I know practically every note of the thing. I can throw down with the interpretive dance.
I created two monsters just in time for bed and bath.
They made me do it like 10 times. Then begged for one more.
I'm going to be SO Sore tomorrow. Oh well.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards in Winter (Official Music Video) [HD] by Trans-Siberian Orchestra
In sticking with the theme of “Christmas Music I Do Actually Enjoy” this December, allow me to rectify something I recently found lacking on my blog -- namely, while I had posted the most famous Christmas song from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on my blog multiple times, I had never once put up the other one from them that I adore! And so I present to you today “Wizards In Winter” and its official music video of an awesome belighted house. It may not be played as much as “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo,” but it deserves a listen (and a watch) at least once! Though, uh, if you’re sensitive to flashing lights, maybe just listen to this one.
