Have you seen my Christmas tree?

Yea. I said it. It's a Christmas tree Mother f*ckers. Not a Holiday Tree. A Christmas Tree. Deal with my truth. Not that I am even known as a Christmasy person. Most people who know me outside of this wee blog would even go so far as to say I am rather grinchy. I could argue the point that I am technically not anti-Christmas, instead I am just indifferent, but I just can't be bothered.

But is my Christmas tree not the most magnificent tree you have seen short of the one at Rockerfeller Centre in NYC? So pretty, so many LED lights, no presents yet, but I have my fingers crossed!! I have been a very good girl this year! Or at least have kept any of my own transgressions very much on the down low.

So maybe this tree isn't technically mine. But the good folks at Amacon, a Vancouver based realty company have said that this tree is for the city of Vancouver. I live in the city, I pay property taxes through rent, I am just as much entitled to claim this tree as mine as anyone else right? For the third year in a row, in lieu of a staff Holiday Party, Amacon has donated a massive Christmas tree that stands on the Georgia Street lawn of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Amacon uses this as a fundraiser for a variety of Metro Vancouver charities. Elvis Costello and Diana Krall even came to light my tree last week! No singing, cause I wasn't there. I am sure if I had been able to go, they would have belted out a few tunes. I think this is so completely admirable for a company to do this. Our staff Christmas party involves 2 hours in our offices with a few bottles of wine... So I think the best we could do is maybe a fake tree from the Dollar Store.

Feel free to leave me a little something under the tree. I am on your nice list right?

To Glee or not to Glee!!

I came home from work both super excited and vaguely depressed at what would be on my PVR. Super excited because Glee! was going to be on there. Bummed because it was the mid-season finale. Boo f*cking hiss to that. We have to wait until what, April for new episodes. Further proof that the Powers that be at Fox are the devil. Not Devilish. The actual Devil. Mother f*ckers.

Then I realized that Glee is on tomorrow night. Balls. Not enough sleep last night and too much sugar while attempting to fake my way through the Christmas Decorating contest at work. Gingerbread House – this is ours – it is a “Vancouver Special” and it is pretty awesome. I don’t really understand the whole Vancouver Special thing – as I am an Aussie, but I think it has something to do with tacky Italian design. Whatevs. Ours rocked.

So tonight I am Gleeless. Sadness. But thankfully there is this to keep me amused until Glee returns tomorrow. I think there is almost as much autotune in this as in one scene with Cory Monteith (Finn). I hope they give it a rest in the back 9 episodes. I think this two and a half minutes is pretty amazing. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if there was a kicky beat and autotune following you around your whole life. And writers. I would also like people to write the lines of my life for me. Preferably Joss Whedon.

If you could work on that for me, that would be awesome. Thanks.

Until then, I warn you: this is one of the catchiest songs I have heard in a while. Srsly. This sh*t gets stuck in your head.
