Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

With Thanksgiving a fading dot on the rear view mirror of the 2007 holiday season I feel like it's time to get down to business.

Holiday business.

And the first order of Holiday business is going to be the

2007 Kaos Holiday Lyric Contest.

Oh. yeah.

Mr. Kaos suggested this little contest and boy am I ever excited!

So without further ado let's get started...

Have a listen to this lovely little diddy Mr. Kaos composed and then review the rules... I'll wait... have a listen...

You may have noticed that the music was a little sparse. We're only giving you the bare bones melody so the rest of the music will be a surprise upon the song's big reveal (hint: think polka!).

If you need to download a copy to listen to obsessively until it's running through your veins like a holiday drug go here.

And now for the rules:

1. Each entry requires a title, a chorus, and a minimum of 2 verses (though we encourage more!).
2. Entries must be received by end of day Friday November 30, 2007.
3. By entering your lyrics you give consent for us to record perform and present your lyrics with this song in any way we see fit, though you will always be credited.
4. The winners (there will be 1 in each category) will each receive a $25 gift certificate to either amazon.com or itunes.
5. Winners will be chosen by a panel of judges.

And now you need to write!

Songs must be submitted in one of two categories: Naughty or Nice. If it isn't Nice, and by Nice I mean child and family friendly then it's Naughty... If it's going to be Naughty... make it NAUGHTY. You may submit one song for each category.

Lyrics

do not have to contain Christmas content

they can be about what ever holiday you celebrate, but it must be a winter holiday or about the winter season.

When you have your lyrics ready please email them to me at: mommifiedme at gmail dot com with the subject line:

Holiday Lyric Contest.

All entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges and when all songs have been read, re-read and drunkenly sung at high volume our winners will be chosen.

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Feel free to comment here or send me an email...

Now go on, get started... this song isn't going to write its self.

Coming soon

the invites...

Yesterday my mother showed up at my door with 13 handcrafted birthday invitations in one hand and 1.75 liters of vodka in the other. The two are mostly unrelated. The invites are made from paper and glitter. Stamp and ink. She didn't write in them, but provided

there is not a raccoon in my kitchen...

As I sit quietly in my living room working I tend to listen to the sounds of home. The slight buzz and hum of my heater, the birds chirping and chattering from my high windows, the rush of cars on the street outside, and the constant chirps, pings, and trills

you put your hair in the coconut...

I remember putting some crazy things in my hair as a kid. Lemon juice, kool-aid, mayonnaise, avocado, tea, and that scalding hot oil treatment. With that last one I might as well been torturing myself with tar and feathers. Then there was the one summer I strived to find the
