Christmas in the Northwest

[k9builder]

I love this song, but the video is not the best. Would it have been a little better to simply do a slide show with images of different parts of Washington in which the various communities have decorated their towns? I know how University Place by Tacoma and Fife tend to place decorative lights along the major roads and then there is Zoo Lights at Point Defiance Zoo and Fantasy Lights in Spanaway. Those are more symbolic of Christmas here in the Northwest than what I see in this video.

My turn - this song came out and soon after I left the Pacif Northwest. It was one ofthe CINW tapes I had. When I played it it took me home. Yes, some call it cheesy. Tis video is a fun play on nothwest living. I love the song and also love the fun too.

[ThePinky9926]

i love the part when she takes away the presents 2 times! hilouris

[maniandpink]

Love it!! Awesome job you guys! And you know, as cheesy as this song is, when you're far away and homesick, it brings back some wonderful memories of my hometown, Seattle. Can't wait for xmas in the northwest. :)

[memuffingirl]

Take away the presents! I love that part..

I love this song though :)

[greatbilby]

I love this song!! Sure it was a cheesy video, and the editing could have been done a bit better, but the girl in it was sure cute!!!!

[JoMamaGale]

We moved to California after living in Camas for 27 years and this brings back fond memories of those soggy Northwest Christmases--and laughing as we sang along to this song on the radio every year. Thank you--your spoof is awesome!!

[LerouxsChristine]

I live in Portland, OR. I heard this song a few years ago, and my mom and I burst out laughing.

[jeepfanskr]

This was my Mothers favorite song you heartless prick! She passed away 12 yrs ago and every Christmas I play this song to remember her love of Christmas!!! Your an ASS!

[auntgirl2]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I watched 2:20 over and over again. Hilarious! I hate this song--too sappy! "A child's answered prayer"??? Yes, I see tons of children praying for a Christmas in the Northwest. Pu-leeze!

[midnghtr72]

@auntgirl2 I totally prayed to go to the Northwest every christmas when I was a kid, no wait that was Disneyland.

[Cre8tvMG]

funny! :-) The video is perfect for the song.

[deejann2]

This is great! I've lived in Seattle my whole life and this song has always cracked me up. :]

[BirthdayCandles48]

haha, I hate this song! Love the clothes!

[BirthdayCandles48]

haha,  I hate this song! Love the clothes!

[billallman]

davygillespie, I get it and it's brilliant!!!! A friend just put me onto this song (we were doing an online poll for "Worst Christmas Song Ever"). I had never heard this before. Oh... and the best thing... IT'S WAAAAAY TOO LONG!!!! What were they thinking?

[kylepoobear]

This song makes me want to cut myself.

[janesomers]

I was trying to torture my wife by singing this CHEESY song and found this hilarious video, thanks for the laugh!1

[treaclespongeUK]

You guys are hilarious! We're siting in our Kitchen in London watching you guys pissing ourselves.

Make another one!

[belladeballe]

Too funny! I've lived in the NW (Oregon) 22 years and this is the first time I'd ever heard this song. Thought the takeoff video was hilarious but I gotta admit I like the song even if it is indeed sappy :)

[twimama43]

I love the song but this video is hilarious. LOL I can say that...I live in the PNW. :)

[midnghtr72]

You guys are awesome. This is freaking hiliarious!

[olivebranch117]

I won't say anything since I went to high school with Brenda White who made this song so popular!

[sapphirehummingbird]

I especially love the slap after the presents are kicked away! Icing on the cake.

[bcoll40]

Hahahaha!! Fantastic, I remember hearing this song and I give kudos to the writer, it has a good melody and all but it all seemed so cheesy to me. You guys made me laugh with this haha :D

[davygillespie]

haha FINALLY someone understands our humor! Seriously, I can't believe all the people that think this video is for real and that we're trying to be serious. The mom jeans and vest were pulled straight from my parents' closet! Sounds like we could be best friends... thanks for the comment!

[billallman]

@davygillespie I get it and it's brilliant!!!! A friend just put me onto this song (we were doing an online poll for "Worst Christmas Song Ever"). I had never heard this before. Oh... and the best thing... IT'S WAAAAAY TOO LONG!!!! What were they thinking?

[ErinEliseSmith]

Can you guys be my husband's and my best friends? Seriously. This video made me laugh so hard. My favorite parts were (in no particular order):

1-The mom jeans and vest combo

2-Dancing with a giant tree

3-The snickering heard in the background when the presents were kicked.

How is anyone taking this couple seriously in the comments? They are having fun you nerds!

[tobyhilden]

OMG LOVE it.........  thanks =)~~

[DonaldJamesParker]

Cheesy song!!! This is one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. I pined for my white Christmases of my youth in South Dakota -- but hearing this song sent shivers down my spine - despite the 85 degree temps. I found a piece of Christmas in July. I thank you for posting it. Donald James Parker Author of All the Voices of the Wind

[idigcows]

HAHAHA That was hilarious. Exept the last part got a little boring

[drwrencho]

I love this I dont know ya but love ya already .

[Tigerfencer2003]

My pals and I make fun of this song.....We all HATE this one because it's so sappy. LOL!

[carolmary43]

I am a Canadian who spent 2 yrs , in Everett, Washington. My husband worked at Boeing.Back in 1997....From the very first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it....It is so beautiful. I'm back in Ontario but still play it every Christmas time.

Thanks very much..

[JaVaDuDe4EvEr]

YAY.....this video is still up! I love this...thank you guys!!! Third year I've had this one.

[DENNISTMNS1]

I live in the NorthWest; and there is no other place I would want to be at Christmas. As for the video, love the song, the rest, gag!

[badboisuga]

You're right man, Christmas in the northwest...........in litteral really does stink.........but the song is super awesome, I remember hearing this when i was knee high to a duck

[bren1981]

THANK YOU! this is incredible...my bf never heard this song before...

[KNWQA]

yeah, take the kids presents, and they will still be happy, sure! good luck with that!

[reereegeegee123]

this song is so geeky i just love it...

[jessicake1993]

I actually love this song because Brenda White, the composer used to be a HiTone, which is our school's female vocal jazz group, wrote this just for us, so we sing it every year.

[ginabean33]

You two are the funniest people I know! I love you and this hilarious video! Good job guys.

[JaVaDuDe4EvEr]

Bravo! I'm a Seattleite that spent last Christmas in Missouri and found this last year. Davy and Hillary keep it up.......It's a very fun video!

[NickieDolce]

haha i love this!

i live in tacoma washington so christmas in the northwest is of course my answered prayer every year

i just wish we'd get some snow instead of rain

[Amoretmalfoy]

I love this song but chirstmas in the northwest is not all that great it could be because i have lived here for 21 years but its not that speaical lol

[gheae04]

i hope someone makes a videowith this song with pictures of the pacific northwest during winter, the tourist spots what's good here in the northwest, now of course except fo WAMU hahaha!

[gonzogal18]

I love this song but the video ruins it.

[davygillespie]

So this is a tradition my family does each year... because I'm not around this year, there will be no additional videos. Stay tuned for Christmas 2009 for an updated lip sync! Thanks for all the comments. It's pretty entertaining that we made this as a joke and now it's becoming quite popular!

[BoiseFrank]

We look forward to the 2009 update! Merry Christmas!!!!

[xXxcandiiexXx]

oh, come on, guys. first off, this song is so cheesy. second, of course they would make a video about it if it was cheesy, it's so much fun! and third, this video is amazing.

[mstalkalot247]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. I wish we still lived in the northwest to hear this song. Funny how you think it's cheesy but spent hours putting a video together to make fun of it.

[Raellyn]

I dont think you should make fun of this song. i actually love this song, and they use it in the show. Every year they have a Christmas in the Northwest special were a lot of famous singers and musicians come and perform. Did you know that? Plus the money they make goes to Childrens Hospital.

[luckyh2o7]

Hey elmer,

Oregon is still in the Northwest...

[elmerfusco]

Nice song. Glad we moved to Oregon.

[BoiseFrank]

Our Family loves the song and the video!!! We moved from Tacoma, Wa 14 years ago and this just takes us back to the holidays up in the Great NW!!! What is next??? Thanks!!!

[theonewholovesshawn2]

thats pretty much the best ever! I love it!

[Jstorm57]

Bravo! What a fun couple (even if they are cheesy ;-). A nice tribute to the state...

From the wettest part of the wet side of Washington.

[singasong2004]

If you look at history the way I see it people down here in Oregon get more rain than you people up there in Washington.

[wellerjsn2]

LOL. This was great! We live in WA state and although the song is cheesy we still listen for it on the radio at Christmas. The present stealing thing made my 5 year old laugh sooo hard. She made me rewind it twice! LOL.

[Barb8448]

This song wouldn't be cheesy at all if this video did not excist.

[vdozier]

That was awesome. Bravo!

[thatorangehat]

OH MAN ! this is the best thing I have ever seen in my life. I can't believe there are actually people who don't think this song is cheesy. the sweater vest is a really nice touch.

[munkeeythemadhatter]

brillent.

[tutan36]

I love this music, it is so very touching and please ignore all the negative comments, keep up the good work, thank you much and god bless you,

[johnnyzonker]

You stink. You and your wife both stink like fetid cheese, that is.

[jkanderspdx]

Omg. I am now inspired to share the christmas cheese, er, I mean cheer, with all my loved ones in the NW. This song is the big holiday joke in my fam, and me and my sisters sing it softly, lovingly and unexpectedly in each other's ears at every opportunity. :) Thanks for making my day. It's my favorite gift wrapped in green.

Happy holidays, Jenn

P.S. I like your jeans.

[MrsStephEfron]

SO cheesy!

[fahquuuu]

You call this song cheesy???? My god, you two are the CHEESIEST COUPLE OF THE YEAR!!! You should be embarrassed for posting this dreck. You are not funny. You are not cute. You are ridiculous and should be ashamed. Please remove this video to save yourselves future shame to your families.

Thank You,

Fah

[davygillespie]

chill buddy... we were obviously trying to be cheesy... and the song IS CHEESY!!! You obviously have a lot of suppressed anger and should spend a christmas in the northwest... maybe it will do you some good!

We obviously didn't post this for your enjoyment. We made it for our families and friends and they loved it... not for you to make stupid comments about! Merry Christmas!

[Calico212]

so fn awesome! i like the song but yeah, it is probably the cheesiest christmas song ever written. I like the part ur hugging the tree and the santa hat falls off, then when the guy cries when u take the present! OMG!! I am never going to hear this song quite the same ever again!! xD

[aristotles292]

i can't believe you guys HATE this song!!! this is one of the best songs EVER!

[JaVaDuDe515]

I just moved from Seattle to Kansas City. I love it here but I really miss HOME. I love this song.

[bballwolf2020]

This is the best song ever. I dont see how you guys can not possibly like it!

[wowitsbeckyyy]

omg. you guys are basically the most amazing people ever. you've inspired me to make a video on christmas in the northwest myself. thanks.

[Sorrelpaw]

[Sorrelpaw]
