For the holiday season this is a do-it-yourself version of the "Carol of the Bells" song produced in Canada by a small company called Alphabet photography.

I'm also seeing this funny video called "The Parent Rap" going around on facebook.

The story behind it.

Jennifer Foster of Florence, AZ was visiting Times Square with her husband Nov. 14 when they saw a shoeless man asking for change. She writes, "Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him. The officer said, 'I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let's put them on and take care of you.' The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching*. I have been in law enforcement for 17 years. I was never so impressed in my life. I did not get the officer's name. It is important, I think, for all of us to remember the real reason we are in this line of work. The reminder this officer gave to our profession in his presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared."

Our thanks to the Fosters for their attention and appreciation, and especially to this officer, who remains anonymous.

This officer has been identified in various news article today. Link

Today same sex marriage went into effect in Washington and couples lined up at Seattle offices to get their licenses.

This video shows the joy they shared the minute the doors opened to them. link

This photos by Meryl Schenker has gone viral on social media being shared several thousand times on facebook link and by TV personality Rachael Maddow.

From the Seattlepi's blog about the photo: link

The picture shows Larry Duncan, 56, and Randy Shepherd, 48, as they apply for a marriage license in the King County Administration Building.

Originally from Dallas, Texas, they told Schenker they moved to Washington 7 years ago because it was more gay friendly.

The soft-spoken couple from North Bend, who have been together for 11 years, finally reached the front of the line about 1:30 a.m. As they took an oath in front of a representative of King County, Schenker captured the simple moment with a master's eye. She said that as part of documenting the event, she was looking for a picture that would challenge stereotypes.

When told today that the photo was being shared on social media and starting to appear on national blogs, they both laughed. "That's just who we are," said Shepherd.

Duncan and Shepherd plan to wed in a church on December 9th, the first day it is possible for them to wed in Washington State.

This photo was taken Christmas 2011 in Boise, Idaho but was submitted on Carter's facebook page, a baby clothing line, today and has started to go viral being linked in several news articles across the globe. Here's a link to the local story on it. If you plug the image into a google image search you'll see what I mean about various news outlets linking to the photo.

Here is what the mother says about the photo.

My mother and I had braved the mall (on a Saturday in December of all days) in hopes of capturing a picture of my 8 month old son, Kiptyn "meeting" Santa. We stood in line for over 30 minutes waiting for our turn. Of course, 5 mins before our turn to meet Santa, Kiptyn fell asleep!! Part of me thought we should just get out of line & avoid wasting anyone else's time that busy Saturday, but as we went to leave Santa gestured us over. I handed Kiptyn to my Mom & grabbed my camera. I was escorted outside of the fenced area in order to snap my own shots. What happened next will be one of my all time favorite memories of Christmas... Santa grabbed his book & slowly laid back into his oversized chair. He then silently motioned for my Mom to lay Kiptyn on his stomach. Kiptyn stirred for a moment and I thought he'd wake for sure. Santa hushed him & Kiptyn's little arms fell into such a peaceful position. After we finished taking pictures we heard a round of applause from the crowd that had gathered around below & above in the rotunda. I just wish this jolly ol' man could know how truly special he is. I can honestly say that I believe in Santa and the magic of the holiday season again. I'd just like for everyone to see how special the Santa at the Boise Towne Square mall really is. Happy Holidays to all!

I was thinking to start a thread just for this one because while it's going viral and is visually stunning it's a wonderful spiritual message.
