Here's a nice UPS man singing a Christmas song about how he's basically a modern-day Santa. He actually makes a good point. Plus, he can sing. Our favorite part is at the end when he offers up the disclaimer that he wasn't slacking on the job, since he's on a scheduled break. It makes us want to order so many packages online,

Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos ever. Enjoy!

The 70's group that made songs like 'A Horse With No Name', 'Ventura Highway', 'Tin Man', 'Lonely People' and 'Sister Golden Hair' is back this year with a little Holiday cheer, in the form of a Christmas song called 'Christmas In California.' America was more of a folk-rock band that was (back in the 70's) primarily made up of three members Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley and Dan Peek. Today 'America' continues to tour but with Dewey and Gerry only, Dan Peek who quit the band in 1978 died in 2011. Check it out, because I think the guys captured that unique 70's America sound, with some 'Beach Boys' harmonies mixed in. You be the judge.

The Christmas season is the happiest time of year. We get to spend extra time with our family and friends, and there are endless supplies of cookies. While these few weeks are filled with tons of cheer, it's also the sappiest time of year, especially in the good ol' USA. It's the ideal time for overseas military men to surprise their loved ones, and of course, create tearjerker alert YouTube videos of it all.

Even though we're huge fans of Christmas, the holiday season can be super stressful at times. This is particularly true when it comes to buying presents. Most people are difficult to shop for, which puts tons of pressure on us to try and decode their present preference. Will our friend like that potpourri centerpiece we're re-gifting from grandma? Probably not. What about the awful Christmas sweater in the back of our closet that still has the tag on it? We'll give that a big N-O.
