    I have a weakness for comedies that look at iconic figures and events through modern sensibilities -- and "Drummer Boy" is hilarious! I will never hear that song the same way again.

    GENIUS! This hysterical new Christmas classic needs to be produced in all holiday festivals! Audiences will be in stitches... and not the ones poor Mary needs after being "torn to shreds."

    Look, you can enjoy the "Little Drummer Boy" song all you want, but the fact is a drum solo is a terrible gift for a newborn. Lisa Dellgiarino Feriend's short comedy is EXACTLY how I would envision the encounter to take place. "Drummer Boy" is bursting at the seams with laugh-out-loud jokes and terrific conflict between the young musician and the parents (well, mom and step-dad) of Christ.
    What a great addition to any night of holiday shorts! Bravo!
