Carol Forsloff----You may be among those who have not yet heard the "Little Drummer Boy."  If you haven't seen the video and heard the singers whose voices are all the instruments, simply with their beautiful harmonies, then it's time indeed, as the young folks have proven that the human voice is the best instrument indeed.

Six million views and counting, and "Little Drummer Boy" is rapidly becoming an Internet sensation.  The young adults whose voices individually are wonderful bring even more wonder as they fuse them on this Christmas classic.  In a rendition that is sure to be its own classic, the Pentatonix has made with its Official Video that special something everyone would want in a Christmas stocking too.

Pentatonix is an a cappella group consisting of five vocalists who include Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying,  Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola, originating from Arlington, Texas. The group won the third season of The Sing-Off on NBC,

The original instrument for communicating in song has always been the human voice.  While David's harp is the first of the stringed instruments, nothing exudes more beauty in its range and variety than the voice itself, as these young people demonstrate with their singing.

Visit a Christmas Special and view it on YouTube, where the crowds are finding the wonder of Christmas early and the joy of singing that is part of the holiday tradition.
