Getting into Framed more than once isn't easy. To date, the only ones to do it have been Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Daughtry and Britney Spears, and they're probably the most talented people on Earth, along with Framed. And now, this week--surprisingly!--Rascal Flatts joins this heady group.

We'd like to say that it's because RF makes videos that are so compelling that we simply have no choice in the matter. But that would be ridiculous and no one would believe us. 

No, the real reason is that we were looking at various Christmas-themed videos and, when we heard their version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas," decided that its seasonal excellence needed to be shared. The song appears on their latest album, Greatest Hits Vol. 1, and, rendered a capella, delivers the sense of wistfulness inherent in the Christmas classic. The video itself, shot at New York City's Roosevelt Hotel in November, is as straightforward as the song, and also evocative of the warmth of the season.

So, happy holidays to all our readers and, as always, we welcome your posts!

7 -- "It will now be simple to insert a false memory of musical competence into the human's brain."

8 -- "Well, hell yes. Ah'll go down t' the fillin' station fer a soda pop. Hell, yes!"

9 -- "A Christmas without derivative, repetitive, country renditions of otherwise excellent seasonal songs? Not on my watch!"

10 -- And, after levitating the ornament, the witch would use her powers to rob country pop of all its melody!!

11 -- "Why, soulless metal is better than organic life! The Bible was right!!"

12 -- Country music fans are excited that Johnny Cash's shadow has decided to start doing cameos!
