The sparkle of lights, the hum of expectation and the gathering together just for the sake of, well, gathering together. Add to that a holiday flash mob by the United States Air Force Band and it's enough to make you really wish Christmas came more than once a year. On Dec. 3, the U. S. Air Force Band and conductor Col. Larry H. Lang serenaded visitors to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with a flash mob rendition of J.S. Bach's Christmas classic Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. It's all preserved for posterity in the video above. Merry Christmas!
