Paul and Storm - Grandma's Christmas Dinner - ASL Song

"Grandma's Christmas Dinner" by Paul and Storm, performed in sign language by Stephen Torrence. A little for Christmas, but oh so worth it. December Song Week #7. Lyrics/gloss below as always.

We piled the family in the SUV on Christmas Day
CHRISTMAS MY FAMILY ENTER SUV
And headed off to Grandmas house, one hundred miles away
GRANDMA HOUSE, 100 {MI] DRIVE-TO
Cause Grandma cooked a great big Christmas dinner for us all
CHRISTMAS DINNER BIG SHE COOK
Shes done it every single year since I was very small
HER TRADITION SINCE I KID

Now, all her life, our Grandmas always been a bit confused
GRANDMA SHE ALWAYS LITTLE-BIT CRAZY
Forgetting where she parked the car, and wearing mismatched shoes
CAR-PARK WHERE? FORGET, WEAR SHOES DIFFERENT
We thought that it was cute at first, but lately shes been getting worse
PAST CUTE, BUT RECENTLY SHE GET-WORSE
The final straw was we saw the dinner she produced
HER DINNER WE SEE, HAD-ENOUGH

This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK
This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK
She crammed him full of yams and served him up with mashed potatoes
DOG STUFF++, SERVE WITH MASH POTATO
This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK

Uncle Al threw up, and Auntie Patty screamed with fright
UNCLE VOMIT, AUNT SCREAM
But I was really starving, so I snuck a tiny bite
BUT I HUNGRY, EAT [TIMIDLY]
That yappy little bastard used to drive the family mad
PAST DOG REALLY ANNOYING
But with some chestnut stuffing on the side, hes not half-bad!
BUT NOW WITH NUT NEXT-TO, HE TASTE GOOD

This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK
This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK
Turns out that Chardonnays the perfect wine with Cocker Spaniel
REALIZE WINE AND DOG TOGETHER DELICIOUS
This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK

(Sing it, Grandpa)
SING, GRANDPA

This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK
This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK
We dont know where the cat is—but dessert is on its way
CAT LOOK-FOR, BUT DESSERT NEXT
This Christmas, Grandma cooked the dog
THIS CHRISTMAS, GRANDMA DOG COOK

[CaptainValor]

@2111jade Perfect!

[SkootMom]

I see you're signing left handed in this one when ou usually sign right. I'm a "lefty" & people tell me it looks strange.....now I see why. But I digress, why did you decide to switch? I like it, I like knowing what I look like when I sign, THANKS!!!

[CaptainValor]

@SkootMom I actually mirrored this video for a reason that escapes me now. I'm a righty. lol

[paradoxied]

cute video, funny song, love your ASL gloss and english captions.. I'd still like to point out that "dog" is signed by snapping your middle finger and thumb together (like when you snap your fingers), not with your index finger (this is actually "do do?" in ASL, meaning "what are you doing?" or "what to do?"). Keep up the great work!

[CaptainValor]

When you speed up the sign it's hard to make it distinct from "Do what?" And the latter is done with two hands and a different face anyways. I think it's clear enough in context.

[joltgoddess]
