Jimmy Fallon and the band were joined by Mariah Carey on what was then Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and they cranked out a rousing rendition of her holiday pop classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
Though Carey’s recorded version will indubitably be played millions of times in the coming weeks, you probably won’t hear anything like this.
Fallon and company are playing their toy instruments and a small chorus of kids are on backup, while everyone is dressed in their holiday finest.
It’s totally irresistible, even for the most Grinch-like viewer.
Backstage before the show, Jimmy, Mariah Carey, and The Roots grabbed some instruments you’d find in an elementary school classroom and stopped by the Late Night “Music Room” to sing Mariah’s holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
I was watching the news tonight and finally received clarification about the videos and memes that were coming through my Facebook Timeline.
I am totally aware that teenagers can be a handful.
They know it all, they frequently show no respect, they are distracted by technology, they refuse to listen.
Yet, there’s no doubt in my mind, and no one can convince me otherwise, that this is a clear cut case of excessive force. The parties aren’t “balanced” at all ….
a high school girl (sitting) versus a grown, muscular, trained man (standing).
If this police officer has a record of similar situations and lawsuits are pending …. there’s no doubt he has an anger issue, power freak mentality and who knows what else.
The video says it all …. oh wait, there was a video on Eric Garner’s death in New York City.
“There is no context that justifies a grown man slamming a child around a classroom like that. None”

Update
Federal investigators, including the U.S. Department of Justice, have opened a civil rights investigation into the matter.
”The Columbia FBI Field Office, the Civil Rights Division, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina have opened a civil rights investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest of a student at Spring Valley High School,” FBI Special Agent in Charge David Thomas said in a statement Tuesday.
“ The FBI will collect all available facts and evidence in order to determine whether a federal law was violated.
As this is an ongoing investigation, per Department of Justice policy we are unable to comment further at this time.”
The FBI has been asked to investigate an incident at a South Carolina high school Monday in which a police officer appeared to body slam a female student and drag her across a classroom.
In a news conference, a spokesman for the Richland County Sheriff’s Department, Curtis Wilson, identified the deputy in the video as Ben Fields, one of two school resource officers assigned to Spring Valley.
Fields had been placed on administrative duty pending an internal investigation, Wilson said, adding that the officer was declining interview requests.
Fields, who is white, is named as a defendant in a 2013 federal lawsuit that claims he “unfairly and recklessly targets African-American students with allegations of gang membership and criminal gang activity.”

It’s been a busy morning … getting up early to go to school.
The Annunciation Catholic Academy of Altamonte Springs celebrated today “grandparents’ day”.
This was my first time going because the other grandma is out of town.
Today was very important because it’s only done up to second grade students.
This is Sophia …. she’s completing second grade this month.

Sophie was kind enough to share me with her. Ann didn’t have a grandparent with her.
It was fun.
Sweet little Ann.

Grandparents Day is a day to show appreciation for our grandparents. It’s also a day to help children of all ages become aware of the strength, wisdom, and guidance that older people can offer.
