Sam has latched onto three Christmas songs this season: "Jingle Bells" (the Bing Crosby/Andrews Sisters version), "Santa Baby" (the original version with Eartha Kitt), and "'Zat You, Santa Claus?" (with Louis Armstrong).
There are particular things that Sam likes with each song. He likes how Bing and the Andrew Sisters have a few pauses during the last verse of their song (they sing, "Jingle [long pause] all the way..."). He thinks the male singers for "Santa Baby" are hilarious (the ones that sing, "Boom, boom" at the beginning of the song). And he really likes the drum (which sounds like rapping on the door) at the beginning of the Louis Armstrong song.
Sam's memorized the track numbers for each of these songs, and he can select the each one on the stereo without my help. He usually decides to turn on music while I'm cleaning in the kitchen. Since each song calls for a mandatory dance party, I get nice little breaks during dish duty. Here's a clip from one "Jingle Bells" party:

Great dancing and trumpet playing! Jingle all the way.
What a cute little guy! A musician already. I was sad today when I realized your family will already be gone when I get back from Tri-Cities. Hope you have many more dance parties and a wonderful Christmas with your family!
He is such a cute, fun kid. Sophie and I enjoyed watching that video. (and I love that song!)
I love that when you asked him what song was playing, he was like, "Jinga bells!" Duh, mom! So cute!
