So amid the constant flurry of all things related to pregnancy, curling club, choir, piano lessons, and just plain ole life, the ole blog has unfortunately fallen down on the list of priorities the last couple of months.
But fear not for I bring you tidings of great joy.
I’ve decided that December is the month for re-connecting and what better time to do it… Christmas is a-foot (or maybe a-stocking?), winter is upon us, and I am now 29 weeks pregnant… all of which makes for great blog fodder.
So to kick things off, I give you what has been my favorite Christmas carol for as long as I can remember. Remember the California Raisins Christmas special on TV? Yeah, me neither… except for this one sketch. I always got a kick out of these frigging bells and it turns out I still do … I laughed through the whole thing. The dumb bell actually reminds me of a few people I know (“I lost mine”… hee hee!).
While we’re on the topic, what was with the California Raisins anyway?! I don’t remember ever really caring about them except for this one show but they had their stint didn’t they? What kicked off their popularity and, more puzzling, what retained their popularity? Did they have names? Anyway, here is an additional bonus clip of the raisins themselves.
This was my favorite Christmas special. I still have it on VHS. (sigh)
