...with Straight No Chaser. They're like the real life Glee, the all-dudes version! I can't believe I haven't discovered them before. One of my fav Christmas songs (that I don't even attempt to sing) is Carol of the Bells. I went looking for a good version of it on iTunes and low and behold found this little group called Straight No Chaser. Intrigued by the name, I started listening to their stuff...and the obsession was formed. They even do a Lady Gag@ cover... and it's goooooood! One of my personal favs is their "I'm Yours/Somewhere Over the Rainbow" mix..
Anyhoo, if you feel like you need a little holiday cheer in your day, here's their version of Oh Holy Night... :) So beautiful!
And for more holiday fun, Eric's mom got me an awesome little desk decoration.... a pink Christmas tree that sings and dances! ha! You just touch its little hand..er..paw...er...branch...(??) and it starts in with "I'm the happiest Christmas tree......." (I dont know the rest...yet) and dances and lights up! ha! I think my cube neighbors love Pinky as much as I do! (Or at least they should.in my opinion) (I found a youtube video to demonstrate what it does)
Tomorrow, we have a team Holiday Party at our local Dave & Busters... I've never been but I hear there are games and pizza. Both of these things are good with me. Oh and a Dirty Santa exchange (nervous about someone googling that phrase and finding my blog, but whatever)... Those things always confound me a little. I mean.. Dirty Santa is the one where you can steal each other's gifts. But, they don't have to be funny gifts...er... right? And then White Elephant, you cannot steal gifts from each other, but they are often funny...maybe? Sheesh...Organized gift exchange with a large group of co-workers stresses me out...haha...
I wanted to watch that show last night where they all sing with no music, and I completely forgot to DVR it... GRRR. But I want to listen to these guys. Amazing.
I was cracking up about your twitter post with the pink tree... so funny! And let me know how Dave & Busters is, we have one near us and I have never been either!
LOVE SNC! Two of the guys went to my high school and I've been following them since college. My favorite is "The Man Who Can't Be Moved." So fantastic!
With IU being my Alma Mater and employer, Straight No Chaser is something I avoid. I know. One would think I would love them, but really????? I can't take much more of them. You should hear about all the drama between the original crew and the up and coming groups. Male Divas!!!!
I just discovered Straight no Chaser yesterday when I hear the 12 days of Christmas on the radio. Love them! Spent most of my day looking for their videos on youtube!
i love your little tree, it's just too cute!! i need to go check out straight no chaser right now. i must be missing out. have a great time at the holiday party! :)
I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see when you stop by, let alone all your kind and inspiring words!!! I swear girlfriend, you are just the best. For serious. I wish we could have a Tulsa coffee date sometime :)
Thank you soooooo much too for the link to your friends Australia adventures!! I haven't checked in on them yet but fully plan to once school calms down a bit. I wanted to be able to fully dive right into them!!!
I think you will like D&B's! It's kinda like a big kid's chuckee cheese haha. And good luck with the gift exchange... Lord knows they would stress me out as well!
organized gift exchanges with germans stresses me out (a party i have on friday)....as an american, i am just never sure what the germans will find funny and what they will find confusing/stupid. maybe that will make yours a little less stressful? ;)

If you don't already have it you need to get Straight No Chaser's mashup of I'm Yours and Somewhere Over the Rainbow!
OMG just looked them up on Grooveshark! LOVE them!
Clearly I got a little over excited, skimmed and then commented on something you already mentioned - FAIL!!!
Haha that can be confusing...but I think it's so fun to do the stealing game, whatever it's called :)
