Merry Christmas Everybody!

I think I’ve mentioned it before, and I meant to get this video up a while back (remember how I was done decorating about a month ago and I’d finished my Christmas shopping before the end of Thanksgiving weekend? Yeah, I know ya’ll hate me and you’d THINK in that month that I’d get around to posting a video before the actual Christmas Day, but you’d think wrong).

Anyway. Hubs and I went a little nuts decorating this year. Fresh garland on the tree, put our pre-lit garland on the stair railing, the old garland absolutely everywhere, new Santa and snowmen lamps, the Christmas village, our Nutcrackers, our humongous How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Night Before Christmas books, our Christmas stuffed animals under the tree, and a bunch of knick-knacks. I think it looks pretty sweet, so I video’d it (including my hippopotamus that sing “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”) and had intended to actually dub in an MP3 from one of my many Christmas cds, but found out too late that just because I rip a song off a cd that does not turn it into an MP3. Bummer. So, the vid is mostly silent. Hope you enjoy it anyway, because there will be a quiz later.

And, since I’m a “settle for second best” kind of girl, I thought I’d show you exactly hard it is to achieve even second best for me!

Two more things. In the first video, at the end, you’ll see the lights on my stair rails in the shape of stars, snow flakes, and snow men. This is because I found these awesome glasses at Lowe’s or Home Depot or something that look like 3d glasses, but which actually make little lights look awesome. I have a Santa one too, but it doesn’t work as well. And the second thing is my earring ARE blinking. Love ‘em!

So, in the past few days, I’ve come across some really cute/funny videos. The longest one is about 5 minutes, and the other two are only a few seconds- technically, all three can be watched with the sound off. Your choice.

#1- Surprised Kitty

You’ll probably think that I found this video through DoshDosh’s tweet- you’d be wrong. I actually saw it on Yahoo yesterday, but DoshDosh tweeted the link today at a really good time for me to copy it out saving me time. Soooooo cuuuuuute.

#2- Which Way Did It Go, George?

This cracked me up. Also from Yahoo, I saw my husband watching this vid of a football player (Florida State Lineman), who didn’t move. I don’t know anything about football, so I can’t explain it, but it’s pretty durn funny in my opinion.

#3- What Do Red Foxes Eat?

Yesterday (or maybe it was the day before?) I posted a link to this video. My favorite Make Money Online blogger filmed his 7 year old daughter hand feeding a red fox. Apparently, foxes eat hamburger patties. Pretty, pretty fox.

My husband lost a sock in the wash tonight. My first thought was gremlins, but that’s so 80’s!  This is the new world now, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s only the underpants gnomes starting a new money making scheme.

You can see what I mean here, because they have embedding disabled. Poopy heads. (vid is clean)

Also, I don’t think anyone understands all the words to this, but for those who are interested, here’s a vid of the underpants gnome song. Enjoy!
