Did you know: if you type “breakdancing santa” into a YouTube search you get more than one video?? I didn’t know this was such fad. For now, until I can make one of my own, I give you my two favorites below.

Happy Christmas Your Arse: NoMad Blog’s Greatest Christmas Songs of All Time
So every night I come home, plug in my little white-light Christmas Tree and crank up the tunes. There’s something truly soothing, and maybe even a little sad, about candlelight and Christmas carols. Some sappy, some silly, some poignant and some classics, the following are my favorite Christmas songs of all time, not necessarily because they’re musical masterpieces, but because they bring back memories of Christmases passed that will be with me forever.

LL Cool J at the National Portrait Gallery: A Discussion
Can we talk about this?
So I was in our nation’s capital this past weekend visiting a group of friends, and we unanimously decided that the only touristy thing we were going to do was trek to the National Portrait Gallery to check out the exhibit Elvis at 21, which is pretty great. That’s my review.
I’ve been to only one other portrait gallery, and that was in London. It might be one of the greatest places ever, considering I have an unhealthy obsession with the British monarchy, namely the Tudors, and I practically devoured the place (also, we need to discuss William and Kate…I may or may not be stalking them). So in the National Portrait Gallery in London you can see portraits of Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, works by Holbein, etc…all things you’ve probably seen in your history books. In America, we have LL Cool J. And a throne. And neon green and red damask. Take a look at what you lost in the revolution, Britain. I bet you’re regretting taxation without representation now.
