One man thought of a unique way to spread Christmas cheer: play "Jingle Bells" using water glasses, accompanied by bells hanging from his beard.

Andrew Wilcox of Washington state thought of his self-proclaimed "Most ridiculous rendition" of the Christmas carol because he had tonsillitis and couldn't sing it. Decked out in Christmas decorations and armed with a spoon-turned-mallet, Wilcox said he was trying to get through his performance with a straight face. After the first phrase of the song, though, he was overcome with silly Christmas spirit and started laughing at himself.

What we can't see is what set off the giggle-fest: Wilcox's sister was in the room, already laughing at him.

"After I did the first jingle she rolled over onto her face to keep from laughing out loud! Then I couldn't hold it in for the rest of the song," Wilcox wrote on YouTube, adding, "If this doesn't get you into the Christmas spirit then I don't know what I can do for ya."
