Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! During the holidays, maybe you heard some of the 10-second Christmas carols from the last Trivia Tuesday. I hope you heard the whole thing though, not just the little blips I providied. Michele and Jenny answered perfectly. 10 out of 10!

A few participants were looking for other holiday tunes, and for you, they are below. A little classic with a little hip-hop. I have to cover my whole demographic. . . .

Presents await opening.

Christmas keeps on going. It started the Thursday Cole finished finals, and it doesn't end until we leave Grammie's Jan. 5. Quite a long Christmas, but that makes it all the more fun. Before jetting back to Nebraska/Kansas, I made sure our place was filled with the Christmas spirit. We had a tree topped with Patrick the star, a white nativity set, Wall Street Journal crafted light bulbs, tiny stockings, a wreath and Game of Thrones snowflakes mixed in with regular ones. . . .

Turn your speakers up, because this week you have to use you smarts and your ears to guess the right Christmas carol. I only give you a 10 second click from free Amazon songs ... so good luck. People have made some interesting renditions.

At the beginning of December, I quized you onPie, Pie, Pie.. My pixel pie drew in five answers, but Cole won with nine out of 10. Pretty awesome score. . . .

UVA announces its starting lineup.

Before finals were in full swing around here, Cole and I attended a UVA basketball game. It had the makings of an okay, game, Wisconsin was ranked after all. But, the game turned out to be a non-highlight, grind it out type of game. Take a look at the final scoreboard; it tells the story well. . . .

Lots of cutting took place to create these intricate snowflakes.

Worldly Wednesday is more like Other Worldly Wednesday this week. While browsing Facebook after work, Wired magazine shared a fun, holiday gem. They are "Game of Thrones" inspired snowflake designs. Last year, I attempted "Star Wars" flakes, but ugh, without a sharper cutting instrument or Jedi skills, I failed. These "Game of Thrones" crafts were much easier. . . .
