Christmastime is pretty busy for yours portly, which means my shaving routine tends to get disrupted. I usually find myself nearing beard capacity by the time Christmas approaches, so I always take the time to do a thorough shave before the big day.
That being the case, I made up a little song, “Clean-Shaven at Christmas,” some years ago. My nephews in particular love it, and will sing it—unprompted!—as Christmas approaches (I also taught them to wake up on Christmas morning shouting, “It’s Christmas! It’s Christmas!”).
So it was that I decided to piece together a YouTube Short of the phases of my shaving with my voice accompanying. There’s even a gross closeup of where I cut myself while shaving—gasp!
“Clean-Shaven at Christmas”
Happy Listening—and Happy (Almost) New Year!

How are you allowed out and about? 😂
Just when I think you can’t get more nutty, clean shaven at Christmas comes along to prove me wrong! 😂
Your brother must have throttled you for persuading his sons to yell out It’s Christmas on repeat! 😄

HA! Not only am I out and about, I’m teaching the next generation!
What makes “Clean-Shaven at Christmas” so diabolical is that it gets stuck in your head, and you end up singing it on repeat all day. It’s like “The Song That Doesn’t End”—it just keeps repeating!
Hahaha, fortunately, I don’t think they do it to my brother and sister-in-law. I spent Christmas Eve overnight with them a few times, and one of the first times I told the kids to come running into my room when they woke up exclaiming, “It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas!” You have to say it in a bit of a high-pitched voice. Perhaps one day I’ll demonstrate for you and Tina, should I ever find myself crashing on your couch on Christmas Eve. 😂
