Tonight I've been baking chocolate chip cookies all night and listening to various muppet music. Muppets are so christmas-y!

Especially Muppet Christmas Carol, which I am majorly wanting to watch lately. I haven't seen it in a few years, and I love it (well, all of it except for the stupid "The Love Is Gone" song. Blah.). I just wish Kermit's voice didn't sound stupid in it. If it didn't, I'd definitely own that movie. Which isn't to say I still don't want it, cuz I do, but Jim Henson's son jsut doesn't cut it for me.
Anyway, I realized my new favorite channel is Turner Classic Movies. I keep putting it on, and every time I do I see something either completely bizzarre, or something cool, like King Kong or A Christmas Story. But my favorite thing about it is that there are no loud commercials. Noo huge announcer voices, or annoying jingles, and no Ty Pennington throwing cell phones at people. Go away, Ty Pennington!! I hate you.
Anyway, it makes me feel calmer, watching TCM. Plus they show old cartoons and shorts between movies, and they're so awesome. That's where I saw that dog football game thing last week that Lisa wrote about. I guess that's another reason I keep going back to TCM, I'm hoping that they'll show that Dog Football thing again, and I can tape it. It's just too awesome to describe.

It's kinda like this, only better.
Anyway, since I probably won't post before then, I hope everyone who reads this has a Merry Christmas! (And also a Happy Chanukkah, I don't wanna descriminate!) I hope everyone gets what they want, and everyone has someone to spend the holidays with. 'Cuz "even a plant with no uncle or aunt shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself..." . Sorry, that was a little Elmo & Patsy for you. Also, this is what they look like, apparently. Or at least circa 1988.

Now if you see them on the street you can kick their asses for "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer". Jeez.
Merry Christmas, bitches!
Love, me.

I followed that Elmo and Patsy link (it was your mention of Percy, the Puny Poinsettia that led me to it), and while there I saw that other customers who purchased Elmo & Patsy also purchased I Farted on Santa’s Lap (and Now Christmas is Gonna Stink For Me).
I thought you should know this powerful and compelling fact!

Muppet Christmas Carol has been and ever remains my favorite Christmas movie of all. But even I skip the "Love Is Gone Song." Pukey.

Man, I am so jealous of your cable. Oh!! My friend bought Fraggle Rock for me for Christmas, I'm so excited!

Merry Christmas, Trish! Hope it's as wonderfully full of "The Swayz" as mine was (mad props for that tidbit, btw).
