More Christmas songs should tell us to "wave 'em like you just don't care"

I didn't want to let the holiday season slip by without posting this great video which features dancing, rapping Christmas trees. The Japanese girls inside the costumes are called Halcali, and yes, this is a Christmas song. In Japan, Christmas is a romantic holiday like Valentines Day, so the lyrics are about the joy of being with someone--and the shame of being alone--on Christmas Eve. (YouTube has a version with subtitles but I find the original plenty entertaining what with the choreography and falling feathers and such. Plus, it's a catchy little song.) The evening is celebrated with Christmas Cake, a sponge cake decorated with whipped cream and strawberries, which may explain the song's title. Or not. I once spent Christmas in Tokyo but hell if I knew what was going on. Without further ado: "Strawberry Chips."
