It’s the holiday season and shoppers are rushing around with their hair on fire, trying to find the perfect gift for their loved one. My personal preference is to give personalized gifts…a picture of Baby Girl, a scarf I knit, my famed baked goods.
Not only do I find it more fulfilling to make the holidays about a personal statement of love, but it’s a bit frightful at the mall this time of year. I’d rather bake at home and shop online.
In honor of your need for a Monday belly laugh in the midst of your holiday rush, I’ve compiled a few of the holiday videos that made me laugh this week. In an ironic gesture, after my plea to y’all to help me sanitize my language, I’ve got some potty swears this week. Go figure.
Now, put down that beverage and prepare to laugh…
I loved Myndi Shafer’s, Shopping for Idiots. This little gem of hers SLAYED me! Three words: Mormon Disco Ball.
Below is the classic SNL skit with Justin Timberlake, featuring a simple DIY gift that any man can master. Although, I must say, I’d rather hubby just get me an Amazon card…
As I mentioned, I’m a fan of baked goods. When I looked for my favorite SNL skit on the subject (with Alec Baldwin) I realized the YouTube video has been pulled. I’ve included the link to “Schweddy Balls” This is dude humor at it’s best…a must-see if you’re a Schweddy virgin.
And it just wouldn’t be More Cowbell without some Funny Undies. This video answers the burning question of when “togs” become “undies.” (They had me at “Togs.”)
How do you plan for your holidays? Are there gift outlets we should know about or traditions you’d like to share? What gave you a huge belly laugh this week? Enquiring minds always love to know here at More Cowbell!

HYSTERICAL!!! I can totally see hubby giving me a little do-it-himself Xmas present like that (God help me)! I wonder if he’d sing and wear an 80s suit and do 80s hair?!?! Hmmm…that might almost be worth it?!?! LOL!!
Togs vs Underpants – LOVED it. Now we know! 🙂
Perfect way to start my day!
Holidays. Well we usually do a huge Xmas at my Mom’s Xmas Eve with her and my step-Dad’s side of the family. We do dinner followed by opening all the gifts. Xmas morning, hubby and I have a quiet gift opening with the dude and then we set off for a 2 hour drive to see hubby’s family. So it’s pretty standard and I like it. For shopping, I try to buy people things I think they’ll love (so I definitely hit the mall) but I always include the receipt in case they’d like to use that cash towards something else. I don’t mind the mall so much because I bring hubby with me and he does the Christmas plow ahead of me. That man’s ruthless. LOL!
Happy Holidays!

Kate, when my mom passed, I despaired of ever being able to do some of her recipes. If you know how they taste and you keep at it, you’ll be able to get it going, even when they’re not available to advise you.

Dick in a box is my favorite holiday song! I keep hoping JT will do something on SNL for the holidays again. It doesn’t matter how many times I see it, I laugh every time. The togs commercial was funny, too. I’m not sure what they were selling, though. There was a shot of an ice cream in there that looked just like the “Danky Crack” they sell in Chile. I took lots of pictures and ate a bunch just so I could say things like, “Man I ate a ton of danky crack!” So fun!
