DANCE BREAK:

By my own rules I am not supposed to be Christmas-y until the day after Thanksgiving, BUT THEN GAP OUTDID THEMSELVES WITH THEIR 2008 ADS AND I HAD TO. HAD TO. (ALTHOUGH, okay, I'm also feeling oddly chatty and just felt like posting? HI!!) It is so many things I love about the holiday season: cute sweaters, dorky dancing, sooooongs, and glee. Also if you, like me, listened to this and thought "WHY DO I NOT HAVE AN AWESOME HIP HOPPY VERSION OF JINGLE BELLS ANYWHERE IN MY ITUNES???" there is a just plain Trey & Flo version, AND I WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO RIP IT, SOMEHOW.

Tomorrow I am going to buy myself candles. Lots and lots of delicious smelling candles. Also sheet music. Except knowing my penchant for procrastination, I will still be saying this a week from now :(

P.S. FUN UNRELATED FACT: The Christmas classic "Baby, It's Cold Outside" originates from a crappy Esther Williams swimming movie from the 50s (I think it was the 50s?) that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HOLIDAYS AT ALL.

OMG THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE. I love Christmas so much, and like you I have the not-until-after-Thanksgiving rule, but that's only because I overdo it on Christmas cheer from the day after until December 25th, so if you think I won't be playing this a bazillion times, you're wrong. Also, I love the Gap and their ads and their stupid expensive adorable stripy scarves and sweaters.

For the record, when I post my holiday cheer to come post shortly in the future, I'm not copying you. Shut up. You were copying me. In the future. Or something. You see what Christmas does to my brain? All I was going to say was that this video rocks my socks.

I instigated my not-until-after-Thanksgiving rule for the EXACT SAME REASON. AND YES, GAP. Every year I want every last one of their $60 sweaters, and almost every year I talk myself out of all of them and go to Old Navy instead :,(

THIS ALSO COUNTS AS MY PRE-EMPTIVE "omg u stole my poast!!!!!!" COMMENT.
