Congrats to my friend Jd Webb, who released his Christmas single today! You may remember me writing a while ago about the photo shoot for the cover of the single.

Here’s a really cool “behind the scenes” video that shows the “making of” the single.

Also in the video, that people who read my blog might be interested in – Charles Jones, Zane Carney, Sandy , and Me! Sadly, I’m dressed as Santa, so I’m harder to spot. I was at the studio when they were filming, but do I make it in dressed like the normal me? No. Only in a beard and glasses. Five bucks if you spot me.

Lyrics are below the video.

It’s lookin’ like it’s about to snow
The leaves on all the trees fell months ago
It’s Christmas, I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again the carolers are warming up to sing
All around you hear the sleigh bells ring

It’s Christmas, I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again I’m lookin’ out for some mistletoe
I just want the whole world to know

I got everything I need this Christmas
I don’t even need to make a wishlist
More than presents ‘neath the tree
When I’m with you it’s like the angels sing

I got everything I need this Christmas
As long as you’re here with me nothing’s missin’
So Santa don’t you worry ’bout me
Cause I got everything I need this Christmas

Everyone’s gathered round the tree
Laughin’ bout our favorite memories at Christmas
I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again all the presents wrapped so perfectly
Someone always tries to sneak a peak at Christmas
I’m so glad it’s Christmas

Once again having everyone we love here now
It makes me want Christmas all year round

I got everything I need this Christmas
I don’t even need to make a wishlist
More than presents ‘neath the tree
When I’m with you it’s like the angels sing

I got everything I need this Christmas
As long as you’re here with me nothing’s missin’
So Santa don’t you worry ’bout me
Cause I got everything I need this Christmas

I can’t believe I haven’t posted this yet.

If you’re wondering about the title of the post, it’s lyrics from my friend Jd’s new Christmas single “I Got Everything I Need This Christmas” (or…the title might be shorter than that, I’m not sure, LOL). Watch for it on radio after Thanksgiving, it’s gonna be heavily placed.

So, anyway, at the photo shoot for the cover of the single, Jd had a bunch of his friends come and dress as Santa. Then we all crowded around him. Inside a school bus. I know. But it was a concept. He’s artsy.

Anyway, because Jd has the most randomly interesting and varied group of friends on the planet , the people there that day (and dressed as Santa!) included:

Me – uber famous blogger (just kidding )
Ah Young Kim – hot LA children’s clothing designer
Matt Locke – of HGTV’s DesignStar
Maiya Sykes – of VH1′s Bands on the Run
Charles Jones – played Carl in Dreamgirls, as well as toured with Jonny Lang, Joss Stone, Jennifer Hudson…everybody

It was a surreal experience, but really fun. The make-up girl ended up getting dressed up as Santa and being in the photo, as well as two of the ladies that worked at the bus company. It was hilariously fun!

Here’s a picture of me and Charles, with Jd peeking in from behind -
