I don’t know why but for some reason, I just haven’t gotten into the Christmas spirit yet this year. Part of it could be because I was waiting to see if the Mayans were right before I went shopping; but the other part of it is that we have been having a really warm winter here in LA this year. Today it is feeling like Christmas outside and listening to Jennifer Hudson sing Carol of the Bells with The Muppets on Sesame Street just made it feel the same way inside! Seriously she made my holiday with that song that I can’t listening to!
You would have to be living under a rock not to know what Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo, is reportedly accused of doing by several young men. So this morning when I checked out the Sesame Street YouTube page, I couldn’t wait to watch the video entitled “Elmo Didn’t Mean To”. I was dying to know if it was referring to what Clash did. Sadly it doesn’t, but still some of the lines can be words uttered out of Clash’s own mouth. Like, “Elmo didn’t mean to, mean to be like that,” or “Wishes he could take it back,” or “Now he now what he has to do.”
The lesson of the song has nothing to do with Clash, but it is an important one for kids to learn so watch it with them!
