I got the following email after we played the tape of Frank Jr. reciting "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Frank,

Thanks so much for playing the recording of your son. I am now 25 but when I was 7, I (guess I was pretty outgoing) insisted on making a Christmas music video. It included me singing, pretty obnoxiously at times but trying SO hard, and even doing an, uh, awesome rendition of Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". I also tried to sound out songs on my grandma's keyboard. One of my favorite parts is my then 4 year-old brother laughing his little head off banging keys on the keyboard. But the best part was when, while singing "Frosty the Snowman," I forgot the words and decided to make up my own on the spot. It's honestly about the silliest thing you'd ever see a kid do. And throughout the whole video I'm nervously twirling my hair, bad 80s mullet and all. This is a wonderful memory that I am so glad to have to reflect on where I started out and I hope to share it with my future children some day.

Merry Christmas to you and your family and, again, thank you!!!!

Sarah
