Patrick Stewart’s dancing Christmas hat: cute or cringeworthy?

I hope everyone had a good Christmas! Patrick Stewart spent the holiday being a good sport. He donned one of those dancing Christmas hats worn by embarrassing uncles ’round the globe. SirPat tweeted this video, which shows him cringing as the hat goes crazy on his head. It’s kind of cute, right? Other than being terrible like all singing Christmas hats. These hats rank up there with those Big Mouth Billy Bass singing fish — neither should have ever been invented. They’re so awful and only worth a drunken laugh or two.

Anyway. Sunny Ozell posted this video and titled it, “Sweet Hat Bro,” which is probably a joke about their different ages. The giggling in the background makes the video cringeworthy, but it’s still racking up the views (300,000+) like crazy. Many people (myself included) got all swept up in their wedding joy, but I wonder at the reality of a 74-year-old and 36-year-old woman together. This video is just one example, and Patrick has tweeted several photos from the past year that show him embracing youth. He went to his first music festival with Sunny, which isn’t the most comfy experience for people of any age. But they’re having a good time together, even if the Christmas hat should be burned. Oh, and I’m including a photo of SirPat dressed as a cowboy. A very English cowboy.
