For some reason when I click on the trending topic the posts are different than the ones pictured. Which is a travesty. So this is the only way I can get Paulie on my dash
Honestly, I couldn't decide which of these things I wanted to do, so you're getting them all!
The first is a poll because I'm really curious:
The second and third things are below the cut.
For the Star Wars fans out there, especially the Mandalorian fans, there's a really cool video that blends the Carol of the Bells with the Mandalorian theme. Totally worth the listen! It's epic! And last but not least is my all time favorite Christmas song (that has no words): the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24!
I'm the Weird Uncle. I'd say that I'm the Cool Aunt, but I've come to the conclusion that I am, in fact the Weird Uncle. Today I went to the Polar Express alone, because my Niefling didn't want to go. So I livebloged it, Face-timed with him, and brought him the goodies.
I was sitting at dinner afterward with my brother and his wife, and the two kiddos. Both kids love music, and the tiny one will jam to anything with a good beat. I'm entirely convinced that one will learn to speak properly specifically so Siri will understand.
So there we are and I bring up Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This led to my playing "Wizards In Winter" for the kids, and dancing along.
For those who don't know which song I mean, Yes, You Do.
And it plays along and when it gets to That Part, right at the 30 second mark, and right there, at the table I turn into one of those blow up noodle guys. Just full-on
Head thrown back, eyes closed l, arms waving wildly.
The kids are 5 and almost 2. They went ape shit.
And of course it goes "wild flailing for five full seconds" followed by an abrupt stop, look around all confused and jump right back into it, pause, etc.
In the end I decided to behave as though my hands are fully possessed and I'm kind of trying to get them back under control.
I mean, I know practically every note of the thing. I can throw down with the interpretive dance.
I created two monsters just in time for bed and bath.
They made me do it like 10 times. Then begged for one more.
