Selfridges Wishes You A Count Basie Christmas! Already

Can you believe I started Christmas talking already? Truth being told, it’s never too early to talk Christmas. Is it? Our dear friend, Ellington, sent me this lovely video I wanted to share with you. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been made available for embedding (yet), so I guess we’ll just have to settle with a picture of a dreamy pair of miniature horses and directions pointing towards the funny Christmas party – like advertising from Selfridges.

With Bruce Weber behind the camera and a title like “Have A Count Besie Christmas!” you’re definitely not in for your average Holidays advertising campaign. And, let me tell you, it’s really uplifting, joyful and inviting. So if you hear anyone that’s throwing a Count Besie party these days, don’t think twice about attending it! (oh, and the video is here – wink)
