Jingle Bells Indeed

Marie Dallum in those green glasses,
seems in the Christmas mood,
or something.

 Talk about getting into the Christmas spirit.  

The woman in the video at the bottom of this post is really, really into the mood of the holidays.  If that mood is blissful mania, that is. 

The video was shot a couple years ago, so don't worry about the choir breaking Covid protocols. The video of the OK City Chorus was taken well before the pandemic. 

This happy lady is all in her glory, ringing her jingle bells in her green holiday sunglases and dancing like she ingested a lot of, well, something. The brunette woman to the right of our enthusiast appears to be looking askance at the spectacle, but she was in on it. 

Turns out the character in this video, Marie Dallam is no goofball in real life, as Inside Edition reported two years ago, shortly after the video first went viral. She is actually quite sane and stable. 

She's an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Oklahoma and the author of two books. She describes herself as a serious and shy person.

Well, I guess sometimes.

Dallam had been asked to play the jingle bells during that song and in her words, be as "goofy as possible."  Well, she certainly had that assignment down!

Dallam said she received messages from all over from people who had been having a bad day or a painful Christmas season reporting the video cheered them up.  She just understands you need a little humor in life. 

 Here's the video. As usual, click on the YouTube logo to watch it there, and in a format you can more readily see:
