Jingle Time!!

For those of you who are not Oklahoma residents (and more specifically, OKC-area residents), the BC Clark jingle has heralded the coming of Christmas for years and years. Many Okies know that Christmastime isn't REALLY upon us until you hear the jingle. I remember hearing the jingle from the time that I was about 3 or 4, and the jingle itself goes back to the 50s. My mom remembers hearing it. The jingle is so well-known, in fact, that Oklahoma soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have requested it from their families. It's even been on Jay Leno. It is world-famous, and it is one of those unique Oklahoma traditions, because it has endured as a holiday tradition, albeit a commercial one, for over 40 years.

And so, with that being said, and since it is Thanksgiving week and I'm not sure I'll be able to get it up here later, I'm posting the following link for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!



Hooray!!! Christmas!!!
