And now for some funny ones:

5 Things to not give your girlfriend for Christmas from Hawk Nelson's Jason Dunn:

1. Smile, It's the End of the World by Hawk Nelson. I don't think she'd appreciate the music.
2. Hockey tickets. Funny... when I first met her she said she loved hockey! hm....
3. Homemade painting. I've done this for the past three years, and I'm just now figuring this out.
4. Chocolate. Apparently there are just way too many calories!!!
5. A trip to hawaii. Actually, I've never offered that, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't like that anyways!

David Crowder's top 5 things to remember while hanging Christmas lights:

1. You will not find the lights straight away. No, you shall be nigh to capitulation before they appear, and not one bit sooner. They are in the attic, in the box that you are certain they are not in. This is a proven fact.

2. The lights are tangled. This you know, but it will still come as a chock. Delegation of this job is suggested.

3. Plug in the lights prior to hanging. (The expired culprits will also be the last ones checked. You will again react with surprise and feign exasperation.)

4. The staple gun will jam. Do not place index finger over the slit that the staples exit like last year. Also, do not look directly at this slit while examining it closely for jammed staples as sneezing can apply heavy pressure to gun lever, as year before last!

5. Trust not the ladder wholly, as the bushes are pointy and unrelenting.




Also, I was watching an episode of The Kitchen Sink and saw a Skillet video that has now become my favorite music video of the moment, Here's Skillet's "Looking for Angels":

those are great "facts", I've been thinking about Christmas movies and all that I can think of is It's A Wonderful Life and the Shop Around the Corner (both James Stewart movies, the second not really being "Christmas", but it ends during Christmas,love em'), weird. I like that Loking For Angels video.


how's the story coming????

Some of those facts are pretty funny. I really like that song, but I hadn't seen the video before, it was really good.
