Claymation We Three Kings
I LOVE the Claymation Christmas special that came out a few years ago. It is made up of several vignettes portraying several different Christmas carols. It's a fabulous special. My favorite vignette (although I love them all) is the one for "We Three Kings". Well, it's not that I have any belief that there were exactly three kings ... but that's a different discussion for a different day. Yeah. Anyway, tonight I went with some friends to see a "living nativity". It was about 20 degrees outside ... but totally worth the fun. The presentation consisted of ten different Biblical scenes. I wasn't surprised to see live sheep at the shepherds part, nor was I surprised to see a live donkey in the stable with Mary, Joseph & the baby. But when they had a live camel (in chilly Western New York in the dead of coldest winter!) I was amazed. What an interesting looking animal. Well, now that I've been spending a few hours smirking to myself about the camel, I HAVE to post this video!! This is one of those performances that has caused me to never be able to listen to this song again without picturing and hearing it done by the Claymation folks. You need to pay special attention to the camels' feet and knees. :-) I love the end where the star shines bright on Bethlehem. Enjoy!!
If you enjoy the Claymation stuff, check out some of the other vignettes from their special: the introduction by two Claymation characters, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer performed by the California Raisins, O Christmas Tree, Carol of the Bells which is one of my favorites of their songs ... it's hilarious! Watch this one if you have time!!
