Actual Erin Thoughts - December 10th 2009

*Christmas baking intimidates me, and I will only try it if someone does it with me.

* I find Home Alone to be the movie I quote most throughout the year. So next time I randomly come up to you and say, "Keep the change you filthy animal" you will know what I am referring to.

*Whenever I think of a turtledove I always envision a tortiose with wings.

*I love eggnog, but I have no idea why anyone would put rum in it. It seems like it would ruin a perfectly good cup of eggnog.

*Sometimes I wonder if Jesus really was 2 years old when the wisemen came. Because I'm pretty sure if he was he would have thrown that myrrh on the floor and then ran away from those big crazy men with scary beards. At least that's what my 2-year-old would do.

*I wish I had Buddy the Elf's metabolism. Putting syrup on everything sounds fabulous.

*I don't watch Christmas in Rockerfeller Center anymore because Jane Krakowski hosts it, and I can't stand that lady.

*The worst White Elephant gift I received was a half-used tube of foot fungus cream.

*Even though Kenny G is lame, it just isn't Christmas until I've heard his album.

*When I was a kid singing God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen I used to sing the line: "In Bethlehem in jewelry this blessed angel came."
And I wondered if Jesus could afford to be born with jewelry on then how come he couldn't find a place to stay?
