. . . christmas tunes . . .

. . . think/say what you will about glee . . .

. . . but, the production numbers are usually genius . . .

{they put to shame anything we ever did in show choir ~

the only choreography i remember was swaying back and forth as couples

during "i can't help falling in love with you" ~ BORING!

sorry mr. garrett :( }

. . . case{s} in point . . .

. . . "proud mary/rollin' on the river" in wheelchairs . . .

. . . "singin' in the rain/umbrella" with all that water . . .

. . . "marry you" at finn/kurt's parents' wedding . . .

. . . so ~ yes ~ i picked up

the glee christmas album

saturday night . . .

. . . wrestled with the wrapping

in the target parking lot . . .

{why are they sooooo hard to open?}

. . . popped it in my cd player . . .

{which skips all. the. time. grrrrrrr!}

. . . and heard the first three tracks

by the time i got home . . .

. . . xoxoxoxoxo . . .

. . . fast forward to sunday . . .

. . . on my way to church . . .

. . . track four comes on . . .

. . . "baby, it's cold outside" . . .

. . . let's just say i was startled . . .

. . . if i'd seen the christmas episode

before listening to the cd,

i'd've been prepared . . .

. . . as it is ~ i will stick with

the james taylor/natalie cole version . . .

. . . other than that . . .

. . . still tapping my toe to "deck the rooftop" . . .

{a glee-style mashup of "up on the housetop" and "deck the halls"}

. . . mr. schue and guest artist kd lang's

"you're a mean one mr. grinch"? love it . . .

. . . rachel's "o holy night"? respectable . . .

{even though her character is jewish. although that never stopped barbra, barry, or kenny g!}

. . . mercedes' gospel inspired rendition of

"angels we have heard on high"?

the girl has pipes . . .

. . . and finn, puck and artie's

"jingle bells" big band style?

yes, please . . .
