Back in the days when YouTube was still young and unweaponized, there were a bunch of kids that did all kinds of covers and collaborations and stuff, many of them on ukulele.
One of the more memorable ones was a cover of the Sufjan Stevens holiday song 'Hey Guys! It's Christmas Time' by a young woman named Molly Lewis.
Like much that was good about the digital days of yore, that version seems to have disappeared from the Interwebz.
However, Ms. Lewis, who I always get a kick out of, is still doing her (many) things...Here.
Anyway, you all are in for a treat as Bigger E. takes the vocal on this one...

If you want the real thing by the still somewhat-of-a-whiz-kid, Mr. Stevens, who spent five years recording 100 holiday songs so that he would 'appreciate Christmas better' it's here....If you want to see Ms. Lewis do her thing while serenading Stephen Fry (yes, that Stephen Fry), at Harvard University no less, check this out.
What's this Advent Jukebox business all about?....Well, the idea of a homemade 'song a day'-type advent calendar/jukebox came to me in late November a few years ago....And when the tunes began they were, essentially, lullabies for our oldest kid who was half a continent away cramming for final exams...Now, well, the whole thing just seems to be a bit of a tradition, if such a thing is possible on the ever changing interweb of everchanging platforms 'n things.
And as for that image at the top of the post...Who knew that the TeeVee versions of Jeeves and Wooster were actually running the Tosser division for the Peaky Bloody Blinders...
