cheer, holiday and otherwise

Last night my mom and I stuck with tradition and went to a Christmas night movie. The only requirement for our Christmas movies is that they need to be happy-making, so we saw Tangled and it was indeed happy-making! So cute! But now I totes want to hear Darren Criss covering this song!!!



Dear Universe: Please make this happen!!!! :D


Since this post is supposed to be about cheer, let me show you some of what's been bringing me all kinds of cheery thoughts the past few days. *g* Not surprisingly, this holiday cheer is really Darren Criss cheer!

Blaine! Twirly!Blaine.

Darren in the Philippines last week, being adorable.

Um. He's eating snow flakes!!! <333

Pink sunglasses!Darren always brings the happy!
Photobucket

His hair! OMG his hair is going to take over the world!!! *laughs* Also, glasses!!! Ngggh. I've got such a thing for boys wearing glasses!
Photobucket

He's inexplicably both ridiculously adorable and ridiculously hot!
Photobucket

Sometimes it's hard to decide if he's being adorable or hot. It's so confusing!
Photobucket

But then he runs his hands through his hair, and I'm like, oh yeah, definitely HOT!

Well, now. I certainly feel a lot more cheerful! :D



Speaking of holiday cheer, if you haven't yet please tell me what charity you would like for me to make a holiday donation to! (Yes, I'm going to keep bugging y'all about this until you do it! *beams*) This post and all the holiday charity giving has been incredibly happy-making. Thank y'all for bringing the holiday cheer with me! :D

You know what else has made me very happy? This stunning NOH8 photo of Tommy Joe Ratliff!!!

If for some inexplicable reason you haven't been paying attention around here for the past YEAR and don't know who this is, this gorgeous boy is Tommy Joe Ratliff, Adam Lambert's bass player. He's all kinds of awesome, for many reasons, like letting Adam kiss him to within an inch of his life every night on stage while they were on tour (bless his heart). But he's particularly awesome for supporting this cause and doing a NOH8 photo. I cannot properly explain how much I love him for this! <333

Also, godDAMN, the boy looks AMAZING. (And I can't be the only one who saw him with duct tape on his mouth and thought he'd look damn hot tied up, right???)

You can buy Tommy's NOH8 photo here with a donation to NOH8. Apparently, after only about 2 weeks, Tommy has the most purchased NOH8 photo ever. That's pretty damn cool. *g*


Holy moly! Only 5 more days of 2010 left! Me, my mom, and The Nieces leave for Disneyland on Wednesday and that's where we'll be ringing in the New Year. I can't wait!!!

I've also been thinking about what word I'm going to pick for 2011. I have a few ideas, but haven't settled on my word yet. I love reading about others' experiences with their words though. My word in 2010 was PUSH, and I think it shaped my year in some interesting ways. It was definitely a year of pushing boundaries and exploring edges and walking into previously untrodden territory, some of it good and some of it less so. I'll definitely be unpacking that more as I think about my word for 2011. Has anyone else picked a word for 2011? Or does anyone have an experience to share about their 2010 word? I'd love to hear your stories! *chinhands*
