The song, aptly named “Merry Christmas,” is a perfect blend of silly and sweet that’s cheery, bright and just a touch bizarre.

It’s a form of code-switching and integrating concepts on the fly and is a clear indicator someone is both socially and conceptually intelligent," — SwimmerAutomatic2488.

"I think intelligent people are more willing to calmly debate/discuss, rather than argue.

"They say they love learning and they learn something new every day?

Seriously, that little one can move, and in her little puffer jacket no less.

Cats are gonna cat, and you can't put a bunch of little things flying through the air in front of a cat and not expect them to pounce.

They're not that old, but seeing them skipping and jumping like little kids is just adorable.

Simple love, simple joy—it's really all we want.
