The first one was posted in 2010, and the second one was posted last month. I watched them then, so I&#8217;m not sure why I&#8217;ve watched them over and over this week. Maybe Marcel is just a good antidote to holiday stress. I shared Marcel with gorgeous <a href=\"http:\/\/stacylomman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">designer<\/a>\/<a href=\"http:\/\/taffetadarlings.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">blogger<\/a> Stacy Lomman, who shared it with her father. Now they&#8217;re both smiling a lot &#8230; &#8220;because it&#8217;s worth it.&#8221; In case you&#8217;ve never seen Marcel &#8212; or just need to see him again &#8212; here are both videos.
