For Your Wednesday Listening Pleasure: “Santa’s Coming For Us” by Sia

Sia: Santa's Coming for Us

That sausage tree is gross and weird and I want one so bad…

A bizarre video for a bizarre Christmas song whose name and chorus sound kind of like a threat, here is Sia’s “Santa’s Coming for Us,” which does not star Sia but instead Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Susan Lucci, Henry Winkler, one of the kids from Stranger Things, and J.B. Smoove as a beardless Santa who steals the foods. Partake and enjoy, but be warned: Santa IS coming for us…

Did Santa get you? No? Whew! That means you’ve successfully been pleasured.

For Your Wednesday Listening Pleasure: “Sleigh Ride” by Pomplamoose

Pomplamoose: Sleigh Ride

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride toghether… come on… come on… come on… together… come on… together… come on…

It’s Chrissymiss time again! Enjoy this nice rendition of a holiday classic, even though Nataly’s weirdly intense stare is periodically a bid… odd.

You have now been pleasured (assuming you didn’t look Nataly directly in the eyes too long).

Last Sunday we three in the fam went on a fun excursion to Downtown Seattle for the afternoon. Here’s what we did:

  • Parked beneath Pacific Place. Parking there is only $6 on Sundays!
  • Walked out through Barnes & Nobles and down 5th Ave (with quick stops in Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters) to our first stop:

The Fairmont Hotel

The Fairmont does this thing where they completely deck out a suite with Christmas stuff and metric tonnes of teddy bears. They call it the Teddy Bear Suite. Behold the cuteness:
