Oh, they don't want a lot for Christmas... just for you to lip sync your little elfin heart out on camera. But not just any lip sync: The Dallas Comedy House would very much like you to film your sync to a very specific song, and a specific version, by...

Oh, they don't want a lot for Christmas... just for you to lip sync your little elfin heart out on camera. But not just any lip sync: The Dallas Comedy House would very much like you to film your sync to a very specific song, and a specific version, by a specific diva.

Yesterday on the Facebook, DCH posted this request:

EVERYONE! Put a small group together and creatively make a video lip syncing to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" then put it on YouTube and post the link here!

We're going to make this the best Christmas ever with these videos!

And then they gave examples. You know, from which you should gain inspiration. Now, frankly, these are some of the best Mariah Carey-related lip sync videos we've ever seen -- though, to be fair, we haven't seen all that many. Two, perhaps, not counting those including Ms. Carey herself.

After watching these, we were truly inspired, and a little intimidated, but definitely in the holiday spirit. We're busy trying to figure out how to turn a cubicle farm into the perfect holiday syncstage, so why don't you take a gander at the examples after the jump and be sure to share with DCH if you film your own take on "All I Want for Christmas."
