That’s right. Unlike previous holidays, this Christmas I will not assault your senses with a photo in which I decorate my nutsack. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I’ve been too busy to Photoshop anything and everything to do with the holiday spirit. Right.

Instead, I’ll share two videos with you. The first video is the one that I did for this year’s Annual Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert over at Neil’s, and the second is the one I did for last year.

Merry Christmas, Chappy Chanukah, Krazy Kwanzaa, and Wacky Winter Solstice, everyone.

Of course, this video makes no sense unless you’ve seen the original video, by Jonah Mowry, a young teen who is struggling with being gay and getting bullied at school:

Or, if you want to see the two of them side by side, use the YouTube Doubler!

Jonah Mowry, a gay teen, is terrified of returning to school shares his concerns and opens his heart on YouTube. His video is touching and pulls at the heartstrings of anyone who’s ever had to deal with bullying. I’ll even admit that his video made me get a little teary-eyed as I watched it.

So, then, why would I make a parody of it? Because there are no sacred cows. Life, religion, sex, love, death – it’s important to take them apart so that we don’t let anything have too much power over us. Using humor to discuss or showcase anything is not the same as saying I don’t care about a subject.

I’m not gay, Jonah, and the bullying I experienced in 8th grade was limited and over very quickly. However, I knew that terror and I knew that fear, and I commend you for posting about it in such a stark, honest way. The fact that I made the effort to create this parody only shows that the message was powerful and good enough that I needed to take it apart, because, as a wise person once told me, funny trumps all.
