Rockin' With the Lowes and Obamas

'Tis the season, everyone! Earlier this week, my wife, Mira, received a wonderful digital holiday greeting from a friend via email. It made us smile broadly and was a welcome distraction as I sought to finish grading final exams.

The greeting reminded us of a few years back, when we were looking for a new way to convey holiday greetings to our family, friends and colleagues. In 2002, instead of cards, we mailed and handed out CDs with our favorite Christmas songs. The response was overwhelming. People loved them. So we did it again with another set of songs the next year, and then with other collections two of the next three years. It's gratifying that so many of our friends still play the CDs while wrapping gifts, entertaining guests or doing whatever their heart desires.

For this year, our friend's before-mentioned digital offering inspired us to produce our own holiday greeting – with a little help from our famous neighbors in Hyde Park, Chicago. We hope you enjoy it. Let us know what you think.

I like how this post reminds the readers that you have a life outside of the classroom and your job. It's a fun way to get people to understand a personality.

This is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen. It's nice to see that even though you're a great professor, you don't take yourself too seriously and can still have fun. Where's my copy!?

Every Christmas I do a similar project of all my siblings as elves doing different dances. My mom always loves it.

Haha, this video is great. I especially liked your guitar solo. I am definitely showing this to my family when they ask me about my teachers at school. They will be pleased to know my professors have a sense of humor.
