Merry Holidays To All

It is finally Christmas and all through the town little children can be heard squealing that they got a new doll, book, or toy car. For most of us the holidays have slowed down and are no longer all about the presents (I said for most of us). I hope that this blog and the email helped you get into the Christmas mood and that it brightened your day a little bit. I will be making another one next year because the results from the surveil showed that people liked it.

Speaking of the surveil I would like to thank the three people (not including me) who filled it out. Their answers where sweet and even though one of the people had no clue who anybody was they still put the effort into filling it out which ment a lot to me. I am not going to include my responces because I know who all but one of the writers where. So here are the results (not including me)...

Rudolph:
2 votes for Elise claiming that the "Sense of humor" was what they where basing their guess off of
1 vote for Emily claiming that "Rudolph just sounds like Emily"

Comet:
2 votes for Emily... "Need I say anything?"
1 vote for Lianna

Prancer:
2 votes for Lianna "Because she is literally the most wonderful, hilarious, and best person"
1 vote for Joan Marie

Vixen:
2 votes for Aley claiming it was the "8Tracks" that tipped them off
1 vote for Julia

The "Cat post" writer:
3 votes for Aley "because cats"

The Secretest of Secret Santas:
This part was very divided. Only one person got this right (which is kind of a complement):
1 vote for the cupeling of Elise and Lianna saying "the wording and stuff" sounded like them
1 vote for Elise, Joan Marie, and Julia
1 vote for Emily saying "Literally everything" was like her

Well
This has been fun
See you all next year.
For those who have post, thank you and if you feel comfortable revealing yourselves you may do so.
Happy Holidays!

Oh, You want me to reveal MY identity?
Well, I guess I did promise to tell you
SO! We will proceed with the unmasking!

I 

Am

EMLAY!

Ya, this feels really uneventful... where are the fireworks? Where is my parade? I am kidding. I got enough out of making this blog and reading all of your guys' amazing posts. Thank you so much for participating. I just want you to know that lately with my sister out of the house and with me not going to my dads as often I have had to give up a lot of my holiday traditions. The fact that people participated in this was the best and it made my christmas. Thanks so much.

See Y'all when school starts up again (next year).

Some holiday hits you won't want to miss

All I want for Christmas is... (You have to watch to find out)
This is the version of "All I want for Christmas" that you need to hear.
(There is a weird screaming thing close to the end. If somebody can tell me what that is that would be great. Cause to me it sounds like... well.)

The Original Hanukkah Song:

By Adam Sandler

nuf said

O Holy Night - The best version you will ever hear.
So, A few years ago my dad's friends sent him this video and it has kind of become a Christmas Tradition to listen to it.
This is probably one of the things that addled my brain enough for me to be as strange and disturbing as I am some times.
ENJOY!
(Also if you don't want to listen to the whole thing it gets really good at 1:51-3:11)
(If you really can't take it you can start at 2:11)

You're welcome,

Happy Early End of 2014

Almost the end of 2014! 

Isn't it crazy?

Here is something to make the end of your year bitter sweet.

--Comet

With the end of one thing comes the begging of another

Finals is finally over! (Get it? Ya I just went there)

So any way... With the end of finals comes the beginning of BREAK!

Get excited people!

We have:

Two weeks to forget everything that we have learned in the past three months.

Two weeks of Netflix

Two weeks of doing absolutely nothing useful for society 

Christmass

New Year

Sleep

Maybe a trip somewhere

And finally (but definitely most important) a whole lot of time to write posts for the peppermint lane chronicle!

So what are y'all excited to do?

(Or maybe what are you not excited to do?)

How about you write about it?

Sincerely from your neighborhood annoyance:

The true meaning of Christmas

I urge you not to forget the true meaning of Christmas. Please enjoy this video to remind yourself (if Chapel has not shoved it down your throat enough already) that the reason we celebrate Christmas is the birth of Jesus.

(3:53 is when it really gets juicy)

ERMINE!!!!!

Walst little children dream of reindeer clip clopping on their roof tops in the dead of night and presents appearing under their tree mysteriously I have a different winter dream. Ermine.

These little adorable rodents only turn white in the winter and were killed by the thousands to make capes and other garments for royalty. So feel bad for these cute little guys. 

And glory in their fuzzy awesomeness.

Day 8 of December
Tree is safe from cat. For now.
Rising yeast for bacon buns is not safe. Cat nearly pounced on towel covering it. Not sure if it will survive a second attack. Must protect it. Bacon buns are too good of a Christmas delicacy to sacrifice to the merciless claws of the vile feline.

Christmas Movies You Have to See

Here are in my opinion the best christmas movies of all time:

Mean Girls:

Yep, No i don't need to explain. :)

Breaking Dawn: 

Yep, for those of you who didn't get that far in the twilight series there is actually Christmas in the very last movie. SO yes this does qualify as a Christmas movie. 

New Moon:

Yep there are like five second of december which I am going to count as Christmas

NOT

Ok I am totally joking guys. Although I do love Mean Girls those three movies are not close to Christmas movies. Here is a list you should actually check out if you haven't already. 

Edward scissor hands:

White Christmas:

Elf:

Santa Clause:

Home Alone 1 and 2:

The Shop Around the Corner:

Gremlins:

Miracle on 34th Street:

And last as my favorite Christmas movie of all time is Miracle on 34th Street. (the original not the remake which is no where close to as good)

Sorry for the long post...

Merry christmas,

--Comet

Not the music you need, but the music you deserve.

Are you growing weary of classics such as oversung "Frosty the Snowman" and creepy tunes such as "Let it Snow"?
Of course you are.

Do you want a new, enticing music experience that invites the most spine-tingling of melodies to travel to the innermost parts of your heart and soul via your eardrums?
Of course you do.

It's time for someone to take a stand. To say, "No more Michael Bublé covers! I'm sick of Mariah Carey dominating every radio station! Gimme some of the good stuff." I know this has been an issue plaguing you all for far too long, but worry not, for I have come to relieve you of your miseries.

Enter ☆Carols of the Bells☆.

To answer some Q&A's that I know will arise from this mind-boggling reveal:

Will this have "Frosty the Snowman"?
No.

Will this have "Let it Snow"?
Ugh. No.

Will this just be "Carol of the Bells" played repeatedly in a bunch of different styles by various artists?

hell yes

-Vixen

*Note: The Pentatonix version is not actually done completely by our beloved Pentatonix. Someone is covering Scott and Avi's parts. But, before you throw your computer away in disgust and refuse to trust the world ever again, consider this: for some reason no one uses the actual Pentatonix cover in any of their mixes (and I've listened to several, all disappointing) and I could do nothing about it, and the cover is not completely horrid. You can skip it if you want. And I'm sorry. 

Remember him?

Santa went to the doctor's office, and said to the doctor:

"Doc, I seem to have got a mince pie stuck up my butt."

The doctor said, "How did you do that?"

Santa: "You don't want to know."

The doctor nodded, confused, and then told Santa:

"No worries, I've got some cream for that."

Deck the Halls: Chapter 1

              At exactly 3:14 PM, the doorbell rang, startling Holly so much that she knocked over her coffee, spilling it everywhere. She dashed to the kitchen, swiped the paper towels, and threw them one after another onto the coffee that was slowly sinking into the white rug. With a sigh of acceptance, Holly walked over to the front door and peered through the peephole, but there was no one there. She unlocked the door and slowly creaked it open. Sitting on the orange welcome mat that read: “Boo!” was a beautifully wrapped gift with a green bow. Holly reached down to pick up the present and checked for a label, but there was none. She brought it inside her apartment and set it on the table. It wasn’t Christmas for 3 weeks, but she was too curious to wait that long, so she untied the ribbon and viciously ripped the paper off. Inside was a snow globe with a Santa figurine adorning the center. Holly smiled at the cuteness of the gift but wondered where it came from. She gripped the base of the snow globe and shook it lightly. About to set it down, Holly saw a note written on the bottom and began to read it. The note read:

Dearest Holly,

I hope you enjoy this little gift. It was my fathers before he gave it to me, and I thought I would pass it along to you. It is named “Christmas Cheer.”

Sincerely, Your Secret Santa

Day 6 of December
Cat has not yet climbed up tree.
Cat has unplugged Christmas tree lights.
Will keep you posted.

Welcome To Peppermint Lane

Hello all and welcome to peppermint lane. There are two more weeks of Secret Santa but 19 more days of Christmas fun and Holiday cheer to come. In the spirit of the holidays I would like to encourage everybody to take part in the Peppermint Lane Chronicle. Perhaps write a short story or Holiday related event. If you don't have a lot of time that you want to dedicate to this you can even just post some of your favorite holiday related gifs and memes. I know this could be stupid if nobody does anything but it could also be a lot of fun. Don't feel awkward about posting on this page because if you don't want to say who you wrote the post you don't have to (but to be honest we will probably all know who you are (unless you come off completely differently in writing then in person(but we will still love you))). However, if you do have the confidence to take credit for the post please do (but you don't have to use your real name (maybe make a fun holiday themed pen name?? If could be fun)).

If you would like to contribute to the PLC all you have to do is log onto the Secret Santa email and go to Blogger.

Happy Posting

-- (The very secretest of) Secret Santa(s)
