Jingle Bellies
Last Christmas, Joe Boxer had an ad in which men played “Jingle Bells” with the bells inside their boxers. This year, it’s the tummies that get the musical treatment! It’s a little more realistic, but fun just the same. (via Neatorama)

He told the woman that he was very sorry but he seemed to have left his wallet at home. "Will I have to go home and come back now?" he askes,
The woman says, "Unbutton your shirt."
So he opens his shirt revealing lost of curly silver hair.
She says, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me." and she processed his Social Security application.

A Tiny Hamster Thanksgiving
The latest episode in the tiny hamster series sees our little friends eating their Thanksgiving dinner. They get mini tart-sized pies, cranberry sauce from a thimble, and a turkey that I would guess is made of tofu. Hamsters are vegetarian, after all! They are adorable as they (and their bunny friend) eat their dinner wearing tiny Pilgrim hats! (Thanks, John Wilson!)
Text Me Merry Christmas
The a cappella group Straight No Chaser teamed up with actress Kristen Bell to bring us a Christmas song for the interconnected wireless gadget generation. This song works on two levels: on the one hand, it’s a sly poke at modern communication customs. But it’s a catchy tune that totally speaks to those who would cherish the perfect text from someone they love. Whether this makes you laugh or makes you share your earbuds will all depend on how old you are. That said, Kristen Bell should look into a career as a pop singer, between this and Frozen, her voice is shining brightly. The song is available for download on iTunes. (via Buzzfeed)

Australian and American Words
You’ve heard it said that The U.S. and England are two countries divided by a common language. You can says that the U.S. and Australia are divided by a common language plus 12,000 miles. Mark and Christi Brown are a bicontinental couple -she’s American, he is Australian- who are teaching us the different words of their different languages. “Australian” as a language is close to British English with some colorful additions and wide-open pronunciations. The words can get confusing sometimes. In the followup video, they address common phrases as well, and we get some stories from their cross-cultural relationship.
