[jingle bells around his feet]

'Tis the season for holiday songs and traditions! Last night we went to a fabulous holiday party at our friends' place. Throughout the night we all took turns at computer dj'ing and one song that was in heavy rotation was "Dominick the Donkey." Neither of us had ever heard this Italian-American Xmas tune and it's one catchy little song. The hostess of the party told me that the song was one of her Xmas traditions and and how as a child she had loved envisioning Dominick bringing presents to kids in Italy. She explained that Rudolph could never make it up the hills of Naples so Dominick did the work. A cute little donkey climbing hills so he can bring presents to children? This song has Xmas cartoon special written all over it.
