thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone who made it out last night to support their local artists and crafters at Urban Lights! It was a huge success.  Hope everyone got their shopping done... but if you didn't or regret not picking anything up Store will be open again before the holidays on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 530pm-730pm.

it really does look like christmas!

This morning was one of the first mornings of winter I awoke to snow on the ground.  Needless to say, it did not make my drive into work this morning pleasant but it is exciting to see the snow especially for Urban Lights (hopefully it puts people in the mood to Christmas shop!).  And it put me in the mood to make THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS PLAYLIST!

1. Maybe this Christmas- Ron Sexsmith.
I am not ashamed  to say I love teen dramas and one of my all time favorites was The O.C.  This song was on Music from The O.C. Soundtrack: Merry Christmamukkah.

2.  Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance- Sufjan Stevens. 
Who doesn't love a little Sufjan!? I actually love a lot of Sufjan.  My favorite part of this song is the lyric, "your sister's bangs she cut them herself."  Ahh, memories of my own bang fail.  This song is on Ding! Dong! part of Sufjan Stevens presents songs for Christmas Vol III a Singalong.

3. Someday at Christmas- Jack Johnson
It takes me to a happy place where there is world peace and ambient weather for flip-flops.  This Warm December- A Brush Fire Holiday Vol. 1.

4. What's this?- Danny Elfman
I chose this one because "This is Halloween" is technically a Halloween song but I still listen to it this time of year.  Nightmare Before Christmas Special Edition Soundtrack.

5. Christmas is going to the Dogs- Eels
This is exactly what I think my dog thinks about on Christmas. Music from The O.C. Soundtrack: Merry Christmamukkah.

6. Did I Make you Cry on Christmas? (Well, you Deserved it!)- Sufjan Stevens
It's not Christmas without crying, right? It's not as depressing as it sounds. Joy part of Sufjan Stevens presents Songs for Christmas Vol. IV a Singalong.

7. Blue Christmass- She & Him
I love Zooey!  A Very She&Him Christmas.

8.  Baby, It's Cold Outside- Leon Redbone & Zooey Deschanel.
One of the best holiday movies! And oh yeah, I really love Zooey!

This will be a good start to get us in the Christmas and shopping mood for Urban Lights tonight! Hope to see you all there.

Urban lights, the avenue for the arts holiday event, is right around the corner! Join erica and I this friday from 5-10 pm at Store. (the avenue for the arts consignment shop at 117 s. division) for some handmade holiday goodness.

We are super excited to be a part of this event--come see all the lovely things we have for your friends and family this year.  There is so much to choose from (that is of course if I don't buy all of erica's cowls first!).  After you check out store., head over to 10 Weston for some more awesome artists selling their wares.  Lots going on this weekend on the avenue, and you don't want to miss it.
