O Holy Night - Part Deux

My mom is totally right, Josh Groban rocked O Holy Night, but Michael Crawford will always be king!! He gets extra points for that group of kids he parades out on stage. Cute!

I thought I'd post my nominees in the female category of "the only people who should be allowed to sing O Holy Night are..."

First:


Usually I want to smack Celine Dion, but I really like this version.

And Martina McBride rarely does anything wrong (ignore the lame video & just listen):



And in a category all unto itself:



Merry Christmas everyone!!

This one is for Alli...

So Alli, I hear it's mid-term season. This little guy doesn't like it either:

I Hate Mid-terms...

"This is my worst semester EVER. In History, I have a paper due on the Code of Hammurabi; in Government, I have to write about Alexander Hamilton, and I haven't even started reading Hamlet for Literature class."


Hang in there Al, it's almost vacation time :-)
