"And That's What Christmas Is All About, Charlie Brown" ...

[Mark Padgett]

While I love the Maccabeats and this is a great video, it's been criticized for a surprising mistake. In the scene in which they light the menorah, they don't use the shamash (the ninth candle in the middle which is used to light the other eight candles) but a tenth candle that is not part of the menorah. It's a pretty basic concept they get wrong.

Maybe it's the director's fault.

Funny how Conan O'Brien, an Irish-American Catholic, got it right.
