Christmas and All That Jazz

Tis the season to be singing all of the Christmas songs!

FINALS

Run Marshall, run... the mighty finals are approaching

I am calm. I am very calm. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, Christmas, well I am totally pumped for Christmas because you know what comes along with all the festivities? Movies, music, desserts, snow, happiness, presents, ABC's 25 Days of Christmas, and even more music!

Recently I asked what your favorite part(s) of Christmas were, and I enjoy the responses I'm getting. Since it is the season of giving thanks and saying what you love, I've decided to say all the things I adore about this season.

Was it a well timed vacation? You bet your buttons it wasn't.

Imagine finishing a show at 10pm, tired as ever, but going to a cast party anyways. Yep, I'm a smart cookie. Eventually you get home at midnight, bags still unpacked for your road-trip and week-long vacation in Seattle, Washington.
