Honest Christmas Songs

[@briankunnari]

Kim for the absolute win with "Worth it. Love it. Drink It. Pop It. Twist it." #rum From a fellow composer, this is freaking hilarious and another knocked out of the park piece of musical content from you two. Penn, you rule.

[@justnerdystuff]

The catalog part is sooo true - I finally got smart this year and just ask all my family to send me an Amazon wish list. It made Christmas shopping sooooo easy!!! Why didn't I think of this earlier!

[@theholdernessfamily]

brilliant!

[@autumnleaf2263]

My husband's family refuses to do that and then always acts slightly disappointed with the gifts and its just too expensive. So we just put our foot down this year and said we will not be doing Christmas. The Amazon wishlist is 1000% the way to go if your family will cooperate!

[@EndlessSummer888]

Remember the song from a couple months ago? Even with Amazon Prime, It will not get here on time, There's nothing we can do, Pretty sure this Christmas, were screwed.

[@justnerdystuff]

@@EndlessSummer888 yah, that's getting truer - I keep getting notifications that my delivery is running late, oh well,

[@TheCompbuzz]

Catalogs still exist? I remember as a kid looking through the Sears catalog around Christmas time. I thought everything is pretty much online now a days.

[@tammyjohnson7401]

These songs that I was already singing along to, will be now part of my Christmas line up of favorite songs. Love the honesty.🎄🤶🎁❄️🎅

[@alisadawn9541]

To the tune of "Let It Snow" (with a few rhythmic liberties) Oh the weather outside is frightful Why did we decide to travel? This would be so much better in July! Let's stay home, snuggle up, have some pie! (Or some wine, for the lovely Mrs. Holderness) Couldn't we tell your family That it's much too cold and snowy Even though the roads are dry Let's stay home, snuggle up, have some pie! If we actually just stay here And we wait 'til the weather is clear We won't feel like we're gonna die Driving through blizzards at night! (epic key change, of course) Driving through blizzards at night! Yes, I know that we have to go. But, must we, in the snow? Can't we just wait 'til July? And, for now, stay at home, have some pie?

[@UTMomof4]

Love it!

[@cnsohm]

This is perfection!

[@MaryS-zh7ep]

Kim I just love how you watch Penn do his thing. You are always glowing, which adds so much to the videos!

[@anitastodolak9882]

I know right! I JUST LOVE HER AND PENN! SHES GORGEOUS BY THE WAY!

[@stevekrein6824]

That's all any man wants for Christmas. A woman to look at him like Kim does!

[@KikiRayburn]

I love her commentary during the songs

[@debskinner3846]

Love the 'Hark this Christmas Pageants long..." as a private school music teacher- i couldn't agree with you more!!! :)

[@joyfulosity]

There almost needs to be a song about the “experience” of getting a Christmas tree! Putting the tree up (I.e. in the actual stand) after getting it home, is actually the most stressful and crazy part of Christmas for my family at least!! 😂 No idea why, it just has always been that way? Love love love this song though, it’s gonna be on repeat I can feel it already 😍 Great job!!

[@evangelinekanaris5518]

There’s a funny parody of the 12 days of Christmas called the 12 pains of Christmas that just makes fun of so many Christmas things.

[@laurajones6486]

Yes I use to get my husband and son to come help pick out the tree. That was not fun because they don’t care. So now I go buy it and my husband comes and picks it up. But then we have to do the stand thing and there is lots of cursing involved. Makes a great start to the Christmas season. 🤣

[@lucasjw]

We’re still haunted by the year our tree fell over twice (or was it three times-I’ve suppressed the details). We got to do the putting the tree in the stand thing a few times. Good times.

[@hollyshouse928]

Dude Dad did a video on his channel

[@Kate98755]

my tree comes out of a box, love it

[@MsLoperK]

I’m so happy I found the Holderness Family last year. Y’all just put me in a good mood!! I hope y’all have a great holiday season!!

[@sabinal17]

I found them through Charlie Berens. I think I showed the Target Husband video to just about everyone. My husband agrees with just one thing - we are a "Target *Couple*". We go there all the time.🙂

[@darcistephenson5359]

@@sabinal17 I discovered them the same way! I was gifted an instapot last year and fell completely in live with them when they did the video on " how simple " they are to use. Btw, I've used mine exactly 3 times.

[@MsLoperK]

I love Charlie’s channel too!!

[@powers1217]

Please be glad you have all of those people. I literally have nowhere to go for Christmas festivities…except to my politically opposite parents-in-law. My very vocal parents-in-law who like to “poke the bear.” No work parties, no friend parties (only a couple of friends who live hours/states away), both my parents have passed and I’m an only child. You’re very blessed.

[@jeanettehansen4852]

I'm sorry your parents have both passed. Holidays are so hard after that. ❤

[@smellincoffee]

That is a good perspective. Thank you for sharing it.

[@LizzieMcT]

Omg you have Marty Moose glasses, I love that!! I'm with Penn, I don't mind that Christmas is people-y. :)

[@richardmahn7589]

Best Christmas Song: "Die Hard Clearly is a Christmas Movie"!

[@marilynmiller8670]

As always, you are right on point with all these songs! Happy Holidays

[@carolhamilton9500]

Amazing lyrics......so creative!!! Merry Christmas and thanks for making our past year humorous!!!

[@Julia-xf5ps]

Happy Holidays, your comedy is a gift, thank you!

[@scottadler]

Absolutely marvelous, Nice to hear all of these really Jewish songs once or twice. For Hannukah, this year, it coincided with Thanksgiving, so the family was there, but @#$%, we forgot to light the candles. Everyone was in a food coma, including our daughter's boyfriend, a DOCTOR I'll have you know. Penn -- How about a Passover video this year, one in which the Holdernesses are guests of a Jewish family, but have no idea what is going on. And Penn tries the Bitter Herb (horseradish) and has to run to the kitchen for a glass of wine. And then he discovers that the kids put real wine in their four glasses of grape juice and are giggling all over the place. And the whole family wants the brisket recipe, only the two grandmas won't share it. As an expert in modern Jewish practices (a family friend, by the way, was Harry Golden of the Carolina Israelite). and a former comedian, I hereby volunteer.

[@sarahperkins2340]

I agree that this would be hysterical and amazing video!!!

[@sivilazewnik7670]

YES!!!!!

[@meganofsherwood3665]

That would be fun!

[@Tammy-cf8sl]

Y’all ain’t right “in a good way” and I love it!!!! 😂😂😂

[@lauravietmeier7427]

This is one of my favorites now around Christmas. I love it to pieces. It's so so on target and clever!!!

[@stevenwilkinson2832]

I love the compilation! For me I enjoy a quiet Christmas. This year my wife's family will be at a cabin in the mountains, and I get to babysit the fur babies. It will be quiet, the cats will sleep and the dog and I will play outside. I wish a peaceful Christmas to you all.

[@PawsForAndrea]

Your version sounds like a peaceful, blissful Christmas to me! 🐾🐾 After all, "why is Christmas so people-y"?!

[@brettst01]

Hahaha, yep, cant wait to catch up with friends, but 30 minutes sounds about right :) 40 may be pushing it :) From a fellow introvert.

[@shelleynorthrop9276]

I like pandemic Christmas. An introvert's dream. I miss it already.

[@tonyaappling8597]

Once again you guys knock it out the park!!! Merry Christmas 🎅

[@patriciahunter1363]

I used to love Christmas. Until all my loved ones passed. And now there’s just me. But I love watching you guys. Merry Christmas

[@laurabailey1054]

Me too

[@LindaRicaLIVE]

Me too .. And we are growing neglected population perhaps we should all get together and have 30 minute parties!

[@jenniemacaulaykirkland7044]

Hilarious! Gave me a good giggle this morning! Thank you so, so much Holderness family. I love you loads. Have a happy Christmas. XX

[@nightgazer251]

That ‘divorced’ line made me laugh so much!!!!!

[@donnahampton3632]

All my family lives in the same state and I transferred south for warmer winters. This means I'm the stress-free part of the family! I am not part of the drama and expectations that everyone else deals with! I highly recommend it!

[@autumnleaf2263]

Smart. We moved across an ocean and they still try to pull us in.

[@Trasea]

Brilliant!! So TRUE!! We all do this and think this - and you made it into a phenomenally funny song!! 🤣🤩👍

[@johnruffing7422]

This puts a big smile on my face as someone who has issues celebrating Christmas with physical issues and also UNforgiveable decisions on behalf of other family members. 😅😊👍🏻👍🏻

[@michellehankin9762]

I search catalogs too!! Circling my "Santa wishes" and then give it to my husband and he can order it. This will avoid him #%&$ it up! He is alway so proud on Christmas morning. It looks like his idea but, well, really... 😀

[@theholdernessfamily]

Sounds like a great plan to me!

[@cgfiresoul5473]

That so cut that he's still proud😊. My mom does the same and my dad is still so proud of his wrapping😆

[@d.thomas1541]

“UP! ”. I said it to myself right when Penn did! 🤣

[@That.Lady.withtheYarn]

Can you make a song for those of us with depression dealing with Christmas? A lot of people deal with it. Please and thank you

[@LindaRicaLIVE]

Yeah like single childless folks with no/few meaningful family holiday options...

[@alberic15]

Please do another honest Christmas songs video. This was awesome!!!

[@t3ck3r]

We need a Christmas Jammies !

[@012you1]

Everday my class loves to wait for a new show you guys make us so happy and make them smile thanks you so much

[@averyce2]

It's not just me?!? Phew, what a relief :-)

[@natureselement7588]

Lmao... loved the cataloge searching. That eggnog with rum also was wonderful.. lol I'm enjoying this honest Christmas songs. 🎄 Merry Christmas you guys.

[@cathyortiz1280]

The kids song - too true. 😂😂😂 My parents are gone. Enjoy them while you can. Just me & my daughter but I do like it that way. 😊

[@leedanielson7452]

You two are sooooo talented!!!😊👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@j20721]

This was great! Now let's see you do Hanukkah parodies!!

[@Catoon...]

You guys bring light to my lonely days...thank you and keep singing😍👍❤️

[@sherylwheelon9679]

Got me laughing out loud this morning! Joy! Thank you! Stressful times with family broken for various reasons “it’s beginning to Not look like Christmas” here😳. Merry Christmas to you & yours!

[@MysthiqueSaN]

I wish you would sing more, Kim! Love both of your voices, you guys are AWESOME!!! Love to you all from Netherlands

[@CJ-ps2ov]

Kim, I want to hear you sing too! Love these videos! They’re the best part of 2021!

[@pamelamays4186]

Penn does it again. How about a video about neighbors who have way too much Christmas spirit: an elaborate Christmas light show, set to music, a giant blow up snow globe on their front lawn, matching Christmas outfits for the entire family, including four legged pets and buying the most expensive tree possible, decorated with "hand crafted" decorations.

[@cgfiresoul5473]

Yeesssss!!!

[@myladycasagrande863]

Except that they ARE those neighbors! Look up the Christmas Inflatables song 😂

[@logicandlaughs]

Thoroughly loved this!!

[@PamelaEnglish-ew8nf]

The Christmas pageant one was so on point, and hysterical 🤣🤣🤣

[@patriciadurham643]

You guys make my day every day!!! Thank you for all you do!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@theholdernessfamily]

Thanks for being here with us!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Bwha ha ha - never too much rum in the egg nog. Love the quiet Christmas - we usually go camping, so it's just the two of us and the dopey dog.

[@rachelhudson7068]

This is very funny! You both make such a great team!!

[@bettyruth9142]

Loved the songs !! All so true !!

[@faithdickerson8423]

I love all the parodies! Also, I was fascinated by the stocking hanging from the table because I’ve knitted a few that look similar.

[@MichelleBunt]

Oh my gosh- can you guys do another one of these this year? That would be so much fun!

[@jackaylward-williams9064]

“I’m dreaming of a white Easter” would be more accurate where I live, given how late on in the winter it is before we get any snow.

[@cheerfulheart840]

watching this in 2022! missed it last year somehow. always nailing it Penn and Kim!

[@jengentry06]

There are 11 of us that are going to lovingly cram into my mom's 3 bed, 1 1/2 bath home for Christmas this year. And it will be AWESOME (plus a 12th person who has decided to stay in a hotel). We live outside of the US, so are flying in for a week a couple days before Christmas. Some of our relatives we haven't seen in person since Christmas, 2016. There will be SO MUCH togetherness time! That sounds like a lot, but I'm actually pretty excited about it. Just wish our winter break was longer -- we get back home and then the teachers have to be back at school a couple days later. So what I'm REALLY lamenting isn't all the togetherness, but a shortened Christmas break.

[@jadethegingergoblin718]

I relate way too much to the part about having to go to so many parties because people are divorced. My husband's parents are divorced, so on top of going to the party for the whole family, which they both come to btw, they each want us to come to theirs, too.

[@LovSven2011]

Awesome!. My favorites are Hon this egg-nog has way too much rummmmm, and I'm dreaming of a quiet christmas. 😀

[@Jok-the-Mad]

Awesomeness!!

[@pixiethebug]

Gosh. If we sang about my family, we will need more then that eggnog rum to make it through 😆

[@deannarachelbobiwsky2366]

I just wanna say that the love in her eyes when she looks at you, is so precious! It always is amazing to see your reactions, and this is always fun, I am so glad I found your channel!

[@Nikki-kr2se]

Loved all the songs, but "bop it! twist it!" was the point that made me literally laugh out loud. :D

[@krisushi1]

I must admit that I do prefer to choose my own gifts as I know I won't be disappointed with the outcome and a nice quiet Christmas is definitely for me!

[@bethbackes3029]

So needed this today-- love you Holderness fam!

[@barbaramorris923]

Love the Son of a Nutcracker tshirt!

[@gracfulgrace]

I love christmas and that its peoplely. That is the best part, aside from presents :P Also they have oatnog and almond nog now Penn. The oatnog is actually really good. I discovered last year that my stomach doesn't like milk, so i am so happy i can still drink egg nog :D It's so good, with lots of rum rum ;)

[@emma_em_11]

LOVE IT!!! 😂😂😂 GREAT STUFF! You are love and family goals!! 😀💕

[@That.Lady.withtheYarn]

I did this up my hubby one December. Went to wally world, i picked up abs held a stand mixer told him i want this. Lol. I love my mixer.

[@KwispyZ]

We listen to a lot of Bob River's twisted Christmas songs to cope with everything during Christmas season 😂

[@MiaRose-xd7sm]

Thank you very much for singing the truth❣

[@tdhawk167]

LOL! Really, you guys are my peeps! Where do I sign up? Did fun hammy things like you guys do with my family, (nothing recorded!) but they have passed. Feels harder this year than it has yet.(geesh, thought it was supposed to get easier as years pass!) You guys make me laugh and bring to mind memories of much better times! Yeah, where do I sign up? Hey, I've mostly sung lead, but I love singing back up, too! LOL! Thanks for all the laughs and wishing you and yours, and all tuned in, a very happy and healthy holiday season!🙏🏼💕

[@jquas1965]

Hark the Harold angels sing is 1 of my favorite Christmas carols. I like your parody of it.

[@hopenation_official]

😂😂😂😂 We'd listen to a full album of this.

[@meganofsherwood3665]

Hey, WayNation! Nice to see you here 😁 I've been enjoying your Christmas Song Battles over the last couple of days - shout-out to you & Holderness Family for helping to make our season bright!

[@denisehardin7005]

Penn ...I LOVE , LOVE ,LOVE YOUR VOICE... YOU ARE SOOO TALENTED! KEEP EM COMING !!

[@daisyporto1778]

The honesty!!!

[@ccudmore]

I’ll never forget the year my dad bought my mom a set of snow tires and put them under the tree. I vowed never to be “that guy”.

[@cariwagy7014]

😂

[@LindaRicaLIVE]

I had a tall handsome guy I dated and he gave me a set of wrenches unwrapped as my Christmas present whereas I had a mountain of wrapped ingenious appropriate presents for him and his twin 3-year-olds! So I did what any self-respecting gift-giving receiving holiday lover would do, I closed him on the first vacation we ever had and the first vacation he'd had in 10 years in Aruba and we were there within a week on his dime lol!

[@harryrimmer6830]

There are so many people to interact with at Christmas because it is the season of Goodwill Toward All.

[@pursuingvirtue]

The honesty is great!

[@tedwpx123]

fantastic!!!!

[@retluoc]

Good bleep...I was laughing my [bleep] off😄

[@tortimeese]

Not only do I tell my husband what I would like for Christmas, but I also draw him a map to the Chanel counter. For some reason, it seems to make a difference that he went into the maddening crowds and fought his way through to buy me a present.

[@jankirschke7425]

About 30 years ago I bought my husband a wet vac for Christmas and put it under the tree. Lo and behold, an identically shaped box soon appeared right next to it. Yes, he had bought me a wet vac for his shop. Hard to believe. That’s all I got that year. Now I sock it to him throughout the year and buy what I like.

[@rosabellalee5262]

Just so true!

[@dianehill6126]

I needed that! Sooo funny!

[@melodysledgister2468]

Love your parodies--especially the Christmas ones. Love the Thanksgiving Hallmark ones, too! And this Midwestern girl loves when you make fun of us...Hilarious!

[@tinydancer7426]

That really cracked me ........ up! 😉

[@chrismader3689]

Love the Marty moose mugs.

[@chickie8252]

Die-hard was on the Paramount Network last night! I haven't seen it in years! I dvr'd it, so I can watch it again and see if IT IS a Christmas movie!🤣🤣

[@rhodalynn550]

Perfection!

[@syndillucian]

❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much, LOVED this!

[@dizzyparkermusic]

You guys inspired me and my wife 😆 I do originals but I LOVE your comedy

These were great songs guys- Merry Christmas.

I buy my own presents, I get what I want and hubs gets to be surprised!

I could listen to this as day.. Hope for it to come out on Spotify

[@joycemcclements9316]

Love this one!

[@diane_princess]

I find Christmas difficult this year. I have to work during the week so now that it's in a normal weekend I have to change my whole schedule for groceries and stuff. So I will visit my parents on 1st Christmas Day and that's it this year.

[@rebeccareinhardt3614]

I wish I could give it 10 thumbs up!!! So great! And SOOO true!!🤣🤣🤣 Love you guys!💞

[@Belerofonte64]

Love you guys, MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@pjp9383]

Loved the look on Kim's face during the White Christmas section, as she waited to see what Penn would do with that extra word - "show .... up." Also, hope that extra cup of eggnog got put to good use! Penn was too busy singing to drink it, but you know, waste not, want not!

[@BeverlyJordanblog]

Being real and keeping us smiling!!!

[@ccl005jn]

This was absolutely the best!!!!!

[@laurajones6486]

You guys are so creative. Loved all the songs.

[@robertbowman448]

It's been crazy for us because some of the comic conventions we go to at other times were moved to between Thanksgiving and Christmas. San Diego Comic-Con did a special mini show last weekend (because the last two Julys were cancelled) and LA Comic Con is this weekend (instead of Halloween). We'll finally be getting Christmas started next week...but that's OK because at least we don't feel like we're stepping on our friends' Hanukkah stuff.
