heidi | Merry Christmas (a little early)

As it's now December 24 in parts of the world, here's an encore posting of the two Christmas vids I made last year. I wish I'd had time to do another one this year but I've been so swamped the last two months that I haven't been able to finish a single vid, and winter break this year isn't exactly break-filled for me.

Since I'm Jewish, I don't really have "traditional" favorite Christmas songs, but I absolutely adore "All I Want for Christmas" - the Mariah original, the Olivia Olsen version from Love, Actually and the vaguely recent My Chemical Romance version, which is the one I used in both vids last year.

Off to finish gift wrapping, and possibly going to brave Costco today, if they've re-opened since the fire that closed them on the 19th, because we are in need of rugelah, and theirs is the best in the world. Or at least, the best in Florida. Rockland County Bakery in NY is probably the best in the world.

Then, it's time to make the sweet potato pancakes (if I can find the only recipe that works) for family get-togethers tomorrow and Thursday. Oooooh, I love it when Chanukah and Christmas overlap!
