HBO and 'Big Love' wishing you a merry, polygamous Christmas
Posted on Mon Dec 14 2009
Caroling is common this time of year. But what you don't hear often are Christmas carols sung by the leader of a polygamous compound and his many wives. Roman Grant, the now-deceased "prophet" of Juniper Creek, a (fictional) fundamentalist Mormon compound in Utah, stars in this music video with his wives, who sing a traditional holiday tune with very untraditional lyrics. In the meantime, various images play in the background of women in 19th-century clothing standing on a rocky hill, next to a Hummer and around a Christmas tree. You also see children of the compound on swings, and very few men. The video ends with a plug to HBO's Big Love. The new season premiers on Jan. 10. If you're left wanting more, HBO, in partnership with marketing agency Digital Kitchen, has created an entire album that will leave you feeling like you've spent way too much time on the compound.
