It's hard to beat Bryan Adams and PeeWee, but Arrogance -- and Don Dixon with hair -- is a nice Christmas treat as well!

Donnie Wahlberg may have been the tough one in NKOTB but who was the shy one? Doesn't matter because I think I've got all of your videos beat. Merry Christmas and get a load of this weirdo.

How do the people who leave youtube comments turn the video for "Christmas Shoes" into a debate about god's existence? How???

My favorite Christmas video includes the lyrics "never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down."

Who says you can't watch that all year long?

This was our top pick of gayest holiday songs in our post a few weeks ago. Why? For the line, "kick the ballistics Santa!" See our runner ups.

Well, at least NKOTB wasn't lip-synching. But, oh man, they probably should have.

I remember taping a telethon where NKOTB sing This One's For The Children off their Christmas album to little palsy kids. It's probably sitting in my mom's basement somewhere but thanks to the internets someone else saved their vhs and uploaded it to youtube. fast forward to 5:07 mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y-hzVmD2FM&feature=channel_page
