Bonus! Because it's super important and because including Matt Chandler explaining how Fox News is wrong makes my heart happy.
To Christmas and Jesus,

Christmas Favorites
Merry Christmas, y'all! I've been back on Texas soil for a little over a week now and have enjoyed every minute - even the 20 minutes spent trying to get out of a parking garage at North Park Mall in Dallas this Monday.
In honor of the day, here are a few of my new and old Christmas favorites:

September Favorites
Lady Gaga - Applause: No it wasn't Gaga's weird face paint & sea shell-filled music video or her disturbing VMA performance that finally got me hooked on this song. It was a car commercial featuring adorable hamsters trying to get fit. I mean, come on. That's just fantastic.
Justin Timberlake - Take Back the Night: No explanation needed, right?
Selena Gomez - Birthday: This might be the epitome of throw-away pop, but I just don't really care. Tell 'em that it's my birthday.
The Newsroom - Election Night, Part 2: I know a lot of people thought the season finale wrapped everything up too nicely and I agree the montage at the end felt very rom-commy, but several moments left me too happy to care. Mainly I just hate that this series has such short seasons.
New Girl - All In: This was the perfect season premiere for me. I know the writers will make Nick and Jess' relationship crash and burn at some point (to reignite tension and draw plots out a la Friends, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, on and on and on) but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Winston and his puzzle struggles were a highlight of the episode (see below). Side note: can't wait for some Winston/Coach action in the upcoming weeks. COACH!
New York City Ballet - YPC
Vlogbrothers - Syria in 5 Minutes
TED - Everyday Cybercrime & What You Can Do about It
Vlogbrothers - 42 Amazing Maps
Oscars - Bryan Cranston's Advice to Aspiring Actors
Endless fantastic names in the style of everyone's favorite Sherlock.
Ever wonder how I feed my photo collage addiction habit? Welcome to my crack cocaine.
Say Yes to Grapefruits's Even Skin Tone Moisturizer with SPF 15 - I really like the "Say Yes to" company. Their products are paraben and cruelty free and I'm always up for putting more SPF on my face.
Society6 Up iPhone Case - A new phone upgrade means a new phone case. I was giddy when I stumbled upon one of my favorite images from cinema.
To many new London favorites to come!

August Favorites
Jesse McCartney - Back Together: The 9th grade girl that lingers inside me won't let this one go.
Ryan O'Shaughnessy - No Name: Ryan finished 5th during the 6th season of Britain's Got Talent and this is the original song he auditioned with. It's gorgeous.
Conor Maynard - Vegas Girl: Ignore the incredibly awkward music video and just dance instead.
Bastille - Pompeii: This should have been a "song of the summer" contender.
The Band Perry - Done: We all have someone we'd sing this to in our heads.
The Piano Guys - Begin Again: You can't really go wrong with the cello/piano combo.
SYTYCD - Top 8: I loved the concept of All Stars also as choreographers. It's amazing how much talent has run through that show. My two favorite numbers of the night:
The Newsroom - Red Team III: I really don't care what the critics continue to say about this show- I love it. The ep's promo:
It also had the best last two seconds of an show I've seen in a while, delivered perfectly by Jane Fonda.
Pretty Little Liars - Now You See Me, Now You Don't: Ahh, PLL. We meet again. You've become my favorite guilty pleasure no matter how many loose ends you leave dangling. The summer finale was full of #WorldWarA ridiculousness with the biggest reveal that (spoilers) Ezra is A!...or one of the A's...or on the A team...or was just following the girls trying to keep them safe? See what I mean about dangling ends? So many questions; about 99.4% of them unanswered.
My favorite thing the internets have given us so far concerning this episode:
HISHE (How It Should Have Ended) - Pacific Rim
New York City Ballet - Dancing Peter Martins' Swan Lake
Jasmine Meakin - "Talk Dirty" choreo
John Green - Why Are American Health Care Costs So High? (High five for the nerdfighter readers! Anyone out there? Anyone??)
NBC Sports - An American Coach in London
One of the top songs this summer that's been asking for it so badly.
Lies told via top notch graphic design.
Chic Graphique's Customized Laptop Sleeve - I'm a sucker when it comes to monograms. Mine is en route now:
L'Oreal BB Cream - Evidently there's a whole wealth of things you can put on your face that I didn't even know about. (What the heck is primer, amirite?) BB Cream is like all that good stuff combined. This is my first to every try (so I don't claim to be an expert) but I pretty much love it. Lightweight, non-greasy, and (best of all) CHEAP.
Vera Bradley's Laptop Backpack - Since I'd been slugging around the same one for over five years, I decided to use my Vera birthday coupon this year on a new backpack. The laptop compartment is super handy and I of course know it's great quality.
What did I miss??
To many new September favorites!
