For Auld Lang Syne
This time of year is my favorite and is usually very happy for me. But there are always those moments. Those "Auld Lang Syne" moments that I never seem to be prepared for. Some sadness switch gets flipped in my brain and I go from fa la la LAAAA! to heave crying. The holidays remind me of those who are no longer with me and it makes me miss them more. And every year, it seems there's someone else to cry for at Christmas.
It’s just me? Never mind. Pay no attention to that lady in the white minivan, crying at the stoplight. She’ll be fine as soon as she changes the radio station.

The Best Rap Ever about Christmas Lists and John Cena
You guys remember how excited I was about Froggy Fresh last summer? His "Dunked On" video killed me. My kids and I still crack up and cackle laugh every time we watch it. I thought I would share this Christmas classic with you, because it's incredible and because it's been stuck in my head like an ear-worm for the past three days.
Enjoy!

How to Pay Off a Stranger's Lay-Away

This time of year, I've always enjoyed hearing about people who go to places like Walmart and Toys R Us and pay off the lay-aways of total strangers. I mentioned it Kate and Guru, who enthusiastically agreed that we should give it a try. While wearing elf hats. So I mentioned my plan in a blog post and got an email from someone who said "Ummm… Paying off a lay-away sounds good, but how do you actually do it? Do you just walk up to the cashier and say 'Can I please pay off a random lay away?'"
