Let Them Know it's Christmas
I loved this video when it came it out in 1984!



and here it is 40 - FORTY - years later! Amazing.

This is an update/reunion video with some of our old favorites and some missing. David Bowie has a speaking part in the beginning and it reminds you he's one of the good rockers we lost over the years. It was nice to see Simon and Duran Duran and there's nothing like Phil Collins on drums. I loved Boy George then and now because it takes real courage to be you in 1984 - and in 2025. I admire that courage. And then seeing some of the newer British singers - some I didn't recognize - some I did - Ed Sheeran. Loved seeing more of a mix of female voices. Did Bananarama come back for 2024?

Ah, the intent of the video warms the heart - reaching out to Africa, to Ethiopia - and giving back. That's the *Heart* of Christmas.

This video was special to me in 1984 when I was 16 and it's just as special to me know. Give a gift to someone you don't know or don't know well. It will warm the heart.

that said ... there's still time to take advantage of the Special Occasion Earn the Badge over at the
