Friday Favorites

Happy Friday Everyone! Can you believe it, Christmas is one week away! Hope everyone is ready! I'm officially done with all my wrapping! Enjoy this week's Friday Favorites!

Favorite Application: Virtual Fireplace/Yule Log

What's better than an actual fireplace for the holidays if you don't have one? A virtual fireplace or during the Christmas season a virtual yule log!  If you're like me and have a Sony Google TV, Roku player, or Instant Netflix than you can have a crackling fireplace/yule log in your home. On my Google TV it's an application you download. Yep folks there's an app for that. On the Roku player it's on the holiday channel. On instant Netflix it's called Fireplace for Your Home. With each device you can have a just a crackling fireplace/yule log, or one that plays Christmas music. So bust out some hot chocolate and marshmellows and enjoy a virtual fireplace/yule log!

Favorite Treat: Fruity Pebble Treats

Do you love Rice Krispies but want something just a little sweeter? Then these treats are for you! I made these this week and thought they were perfect for Christmas since they are so colorful like Christmas lights. I got a little creative and used Christmas cookie cutters in the shape of a Christmas tree, gingerbread man, and snowflake. The extra leftover treats I cut them into squares and rolled them into balls. Then, I dipped them in white chocolate and sprinkled them with leftover Fruity Pebbles. I also inserted lollipop sticks in them. Who doesn't love anything on a stick?

Favorite Memory: Old 8mm Christmas Home Movies

There's nothing like Christmas when you're a kid. This week my favorite memory was Christmas in the 80's when I was a little girl. Here is some footage from my families old 8mm movies from two Christmas years in the 80's of my sister and I. I can still remember how much I loved that Monchichi monkey doll! Remember those? I miss when Christmas was like this!                                                                                                                

Favorite laugh: Dancing With An Ipod In Public: Christmas Edition
This youtube video has gone viral! This guy goes around a mall dancing with his ipod to Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas! It is simply A-MAZING! He's my new hero. I dare you not to smile! Mariah Carey also saw this video and tweeted the guy back about it!
