Happy Friday friends!
Every Wednesday I will do a Random Thoughts post, because let's be honest, I have a ton of random ideas that do not themselves warrant their own post, and also because by Wednesday my mental capacity has depleted significantly and the chances of me forming a coherent sentence, nevermind a paragraph or full post, is slim. Sometimes on Thursday I get a second wind, but it's rare.
So without further ado, my random thoughts!
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is hands down my favorite Christmas movie. What makes this film even better for me now is that the President of my company looks remarkably like Uncle Lewis. Now everytime I see him, I hear him saying "you couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant." HA!
- I always say that Chuck E. Cheese is my personal idea of what hell will be like...but this past weekend I have changed my opinion. Hell would be Toys R Us the weekend before Christmas. As fun as toys are, putting kids in proximity of SO MANY toys they can't have that are way cooler than any of the shit they have at home, is pretty much a recipe for disaster.
- One of our local radio stations that I love turns to exclusively Christmas music from November 1st to January 1st, which I think is just WRONG. Christmas music should not be listened to before Thanksgiving and should not be listened to after all the presents are opened and there's a dumptruck worth of wrapping paper to clean up. Regular radio sucks anyway, but it sucks even more this time of year.
- The two most underrated Christmas songs of all time are "Last Christmas" and "Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey." What's that? You've never heard of Dominic? Well now you have. For your viewing and listening pleasure: http://youtu.be/nQrdxtWgHbE
- I know I may be completely alone in this (although probably not since all of their shows are so popular) but I really think the Kardashians should have a Christmas special. I just love those quirky Kardashians! Except for Kim, who is just about the most annoying person on the face of the planet.
Give me your random thoughts about Christmas!

I have been DYING to watch Christmas Vacation. My roommate has never watched it the whole way through (dude- I KNOW), and so we keep trying to find time to watch it and it doesn't work out. UGH.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Vacation is pretty much the only thing I get excited about during this season. It's the best thing ever.
ReplyDeleteI listen to Christmas music from Thanksgiving til Christmas. I love it. I can't get enough of it. Mainly b/c it reminds me of my grandparents. I'm still pissed though- NO ONE has played Silver Bells yet on the radio, but I've had to hear shitty renditions of songs by Beiber, Groban and Buble and I just can't get on that train...what a bunch of turds. I know it's cool to "make it your own" however there is a point where you can actually ruin a song.
ReplyDeleteDitto on Dominic the Donkey. Although, "Last Christmas" has been getting a LOT of air time around these parts.
