Sometimes the holidays are all about buying gifts and wrapping presents. But sometimes we forget that the best gifts of all are the ones you cannot wrap up and top with a bow. I'm talking about the gifts of happiness and joy, kindness and love. In the hopes of spreading holiday cheer, Koodo teamed up with Choir! Choir! Choir! to share a special rendition of The Cure hit, Friday, I'm in Love and surprising Toronto Christmas Market visitors in the Distillery District.

The Cure's Robert Smith was kind enough to provide the song rights to Koodoo who passed them on to Choir! Choir! Choir! with the aim of aiding their efforts to sponsor a Syrian refugee family. Watch the video featuring 80 talented Choir! Choir! Choir! singers as they create a random act of Happiness during one of the craziest times of the year:

As a teacher who volunteers with the school choir, Christmas is one of the most joyous times of the year. I know many people frown upon the incessant playing of holiday music everywhere you go but I, for one, love it. I may not be a very good singer or choir leader but there is very little else that can cheer me up more than a traditional carol. When I came home to find some of the latest and greatest holiday themed samples from Hallmark, I was utterly moved by the sweetest, most ingenious holiday gift idea I've seen this year: the gift of children's angelic voices. The Hallmark Wireless Children's Angel Choir comes in the form of four little figurines that play music, sing and move. The best part? These figurines are interconnected wirelessly when they are placed together and collectively sing eight songs, with two songs lead by each one. Press the button on one of them and within seconds, the rest join in. How sweet are they!
