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.

SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE ALL IN ONE PLAAAAAACE!!! Do you know Janelle Monae??? BECAUSE YOU SHOULD. Although it has actually just occured to me that I don't know a lot about your music taste.

Is Banana Republic the only Gap company that doesn't do jolly Christmas commercials, or do I have a selective memory?

BR doesn't have a TV campaign as far as I know, but I used to love the old skool Old Navy Performance Fleece jingles.

I have a fairly eclectic music taste, and I do know Janelle Monae, but not well. I sometimes download more than I can handle :) I'm kind of a music junkie in general.

Ha, I'm the exact same way. Sometimes there's just too much of the internet.
