Here is a favorite Christmas song of ours. I was going to put a video of the actual singing group singing the song, but their video ruined the song. So, here is the song with some assorted images:

What's in a Name?
Since a few have asked, "Why the name, 'Front Porch Fighter' ?", I will take a stab at answering it.
In times past, the predominant feature of most houses was the front porch. It was right out there in front and it used to be a gathering place for people from the neighborhood. Friends could come over and hang out, lovers could swing on the porch swing and moms would entertain with lemonade. The front porch was a place to get to know others and it signified a willingness and a desire to be in community.
The predominant feature on many homes built today is the garage. The garage is a place where you can pull your car in without anyone else having to talk to you or interrupt your schedule as you retreat into your private sanctuary. To me, the garage in front signifies a desire to live my own life and a kind of disconnect from the rest of the world.
While I appreciate some privacy and sanctuary, I feel that all too often, we are disconnected from the rest of the world and have lost a sense of community, which the home styles reflect. So, I am an advocate of the front porch....at least metaphorically speaking.
Hence, the name Front Porch Fighter.

When I taught 2nd Grade, we had to teach our kids this song for the Christmas concert so I think I have heard it more than anyone I know. But here's the crazy thing. The group that sings this song is called Boney M and was created by Frank Farian who picked the singer more for their looks and ability to dance than sing and Frank himself filled in the where the singing was less than stellar. So most of the time Boney M was lip syncing. Fast forward a few years and Frank Farian formed a new group; this group went on to win a Grammy and was wildly popular. You may remember them. They went by the name Milli Vanilli.
Jason told me once that this was a favorite group of his parents in Paraguay. Go figure.
