Hanukkah begins tonight, and to celebrate I give you a new Hanukkah song from the Indigo Girls' Christmas album. It took some time for this album to grow on me, I admit, but it has, and hopefully those of you who collect Hanukkah songs will enjoy this new addition.

There's a lot of Muppets on this year's calendar. I didn't think anyone would mind.

Today I give you a duet between Kermit the Frog and Tiffany Thornton. It's not a traditional song, but it's sweet all the same. Plus, Kermit.
