In December, 2010, Sleeping At Last asked their listeners to send holiday/winter themed video footage with the intentions of assembling it all into a community-made music video of sorts for the Sleeping At Last original Christmas song, “Snow.” This video was brilliantly edited and realized by the very gifted, Bob Davidson.
