Some true classic singers of our time carry a lot of weight in the swing and jazz department. In this video, “Make it Merry,” Harry Connick Jr. shares his official Christmas music video.

At the start of this video, we hear a soulful piano solo kick it off. Then, Harry begins to sing at the piano. He sings about if someone could spend Christmas at home this year. Suddenly, male and female dancers appear in white. 

They begin a beautifully choreographed dance together in a large dark room. A full band of instruments joins in with Harry, all in white, in a bright room. 

We realize that the same room where the dance takes place is where the instruments are playing. One is night, and one is day. As he sings this song, he asks his loved one not just to call but to come and visit and make the time of year merry. 

He emphasizes the value and importance of being together. Even though it takes effort, it is worth it to be with loved ones during the holidays. 

The couple then begins waltzing elegantly during the instrumental. The band plays incredible licks, and the dancers jump and do tricks. The song ends with this upbeat and blues style that makes you want to move. 

The song ends with a lot of smiles and happiness. His message is clear that the people we love in life help make the best memories, not the material things that many of us think will.

“Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:11
