Music I've Been Listening to Lately

One of my favorite songs for this time of year.

Music I'm Listening To

I know this song is controversial with some people, but I take it as a woman finding a way to get what she wants in an oppressive culture.

When Something Works...

One of my favorite versions!

26 Days of Christmas - You Need the Four Essential Food Groups

There are some movies that the whole family watches as part of the household tradition. The one flick we agree on is Elf. In fact, we saw it twice in the theater when it was released.

Why I love this movie: This is the one film where Will Ferrell balances ribald humor perfectly with the innocence of his character, Buddy the Elf, an orphaned human adopted by the denizens of the North Pole. My favorite scene is Will's duet with Zooey Deschanel of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" while Zooey's character is taking a shower. (It's not as pervy as it sounds.)
