I don't know how to do the whole "imbed a video" thing - but
there is a great version of "Frosty the Snowman" done by Leon Redbone and Dr. John that is just a hoot.

it was on one of those "A Very Special Christmas" albums that were put out in the late 80's and early 90's to raise funds for some charity.
