Merry Christmas: Watch, Read, Sing

Good Morning, 

Happy Tuesday!

Has the Christmas Season hit you yet? 

Full force?

I think I headed into this Christmas guns-a-blazing.

I love the intentional time of year that we get to worship the birth of our Savior.

God come to earth.

In human form.

Born to die.

So that we might live.

It's crazy.

Right?

The good kind of crazy.

Anyway, I wanted to share a few of my Christmas favorites.

Things that remind me that this season is truly about Jesus.
My goal is not to get you to "buy" more stuff.
I just want to share with you things that I truly love.

Have you seen this movie? 

If not, I hope you will watch it.

Now, I love me some Mariah Carey and maybe even some Bieber Mistletoe,

they are some great jams.

When I'm decorating.

Walking through the stores.

Crank 'em up.

But I also love worshipping my savior.

Focusing on the event of his birth.

I love these albums, these artists bring me to the manger.

To that night in Bethlehem.

A sneak peek of Forestry's Drummer Boy break. 

The first time I saw this I nearly fell out of my chair.

Going to see their Christmas show next Wednesday. 

This is the highlight.

And then there is this book

It takes you into the story of Jesus' birth,

Step by step. 

Piece by piece.

Focusing on each part of the puzzle that God worked together.

Each chapter is written by a different author.

Some contemporary, some classic.

(John Piper, Jonathan Edwards)

It builds up to the birth of Christ.

Totally an amazing before bed read.
It truly allowed me to ponder what really happened 2000 years ago.

And lastly, is this video.

You may have seen it last year.

I still love it.

Linking up with Jami!

This post is kinda random.
But I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite YouTube videos.
They make me laugh.
REALLY HARD.

...i have a feeling you aren't going to find them funny...

And some are kind of old. So you have probably seen them before.

But, nothing like an old YouTube throwback or two.

I have shown you this one before:


And this one too:


This one makes my heart happy:


And when was the last time you got some Antoine in your life...I know you've seen it:


And Jaxie posted this one...I watched the whole thing...you totally don't have to:


And, please. Watch this one. I don't know why. But it strikes me as funny:


And if you watched that one, you MUST watch this one:


Okay, and last one, if you are still hanging around, it is pure randomness. But brilliant:


And, Keri posted this one...I may have contributed to about 3,000 of those views...


And I HAD to have more Sexy Sax Man...so I found this video - a "behind the scenes" clip - it brings me to tears every time. And yes, 500,000 those views are me....


Serious points if you watched any or all of these. I have a few more up my sleeve...
Have you seen any of these before?
What are your favorite YouTubes?
Give me some good ones!!


That is it for today - hopefully an Arizona recap soon, and 411 on my living room pillow overhaul.

Yeah - it is a BIG week over here on this blog. ;)
