Usually commercials that are overplayed get on my last nerve. It's rare that I fall in love with a commercial, but I've found one that I just can't stop thinking about. When I haven't seen it in a few days, I start to miss it. Now I've found it online and I'm annoying my family by continually playing it:D
Maybe it's because of my personal experiences with and love of misheard song lyrics that I love it so much. Anyway, I thought I would share it all with you as well!

Holiday Round-Up
I hope all of you that celebrate it had a very Merry Christmas:) I'm still recovering from the flu, but today I'm finally feeling quite a bit better, though still not back to 100%.
Like many people, I'm sad that Christmas has come and gone already. One thing that I look forward to every year that I miss already is the 25 Days of Christmas on ABC Family. I get so excited for December 1st just to see all the Holiday specials and movies.
Since I wasn't feeling at all well this year, I spent my Christmas Eve planted in front of the TV with my box of Kleenex watching the Christmas Eve marathon and various other holiday movies. It was great:) I miss the shows already!
One of my favorites is one I discovered only a few years ago thanks to ABC Family: The Year Without a Santa Claus. I didn't watch the NBC live-action remake this year, but I did see the original twice! As with many people, my favorite part has to be the Snow Miser and Heat Miser songs. They're just great. So great, I thought I would share them with you all here (even though it's after Christmas:P )
I hope you enjoy!

Interesting Holiday Questions
This was making the rounds earlier and I thought it was interesting and festive for the season. It's taken me a while, but I'm finally answering it:)
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Definitely Hot Chocolate. I'm addicted and drink it even when it's hot outside:P
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Um, well in my experience just sits them under the tree, though I've never personally been Santa myself.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Both, though I think colored are a lot more fun:)
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Er, nope.
5. When do you put your decorations up?
I'm lucky if they get up at all when I'm on my own LOL.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
Not sure, stuffing or mashed potatoes I guess.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child:
Oh man, I don't know. I guess I'd pick when Santa came by the house to deliver one present personally on Christmas Eve. That was so cool!
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
Can't remember how old I was, but after a while, I realized that Santa's handwriting always looked a lot like either my mom's or dad's...
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
I used to as a child, but not most years now that I'm an adult.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Well, my sister got us going more in the "designer" tree direction, but I like the good old fashioned colored lights and sentimental ornaments...
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Love it! But that's probably because I don't live in it, just visit from time to time.
12. Can you ice skate?
Yep! It's one of my favorite things to do:) I haven't gone in a while, but I took lessons a while back and even have my own skates.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
That I gave or received? Gave would have to be the year my sister and I chipped in and bought my parents a weekend getaway at a Bed and Breakfast place in the Mountains in Big Bear.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
Being with my family!
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Frosted sugar cookies!
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Christmas Caroling, though I haven't done it in years. The block I grew up on (and where my parents still live) used to have a Christmas caroling party every year. We'd go around the neighborhood caroling and then go to someone's house to enjoy yummy treats, fun with friends and even a visit from Santa!
17. What tops your tree?
It depends year to year...
18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving?
Definitely giving. I tend to go totally overboard, but I love it!
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
Um, I dunno. The Chipmunk Christmas song? LOL!
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
Nice to look at, but not yummy to eat.

A Few Balboa Park Photos
I haven't really taken the time to go and seriously take photos out at Balboa Park. It's a place where a lot of people take photos; maybe that's why...I like to be a bit more unique:)
Anyway, I went to a craft fair with my mom a few months ago and took a couple of photos I thought I'd share. Most didn't turn out so well since it was the wrong time of day (it was too bright) and there were too many people around walking in and out of the shots.
I posted my last grades tonight and I just have to drop some stuff off tomorrow at school and then I will officially be on break! Of course, I still have things to do to prepare for next semester, but I won't be teaching daily...
More posts soon:)

I'm Alive!!
Wow, December already! Sorry I've been MIA so long. I was sick and super busy for a couple weeks right after my last post, but I've been thinking about blogging a lot lately.
I can't remember all of the topics I wanted to blog about, but for now, I'll post some photos I've taken in the last couple of months. Here are some from October. I'll post some from November soon...
