Oh my god I think I just broke something laughing.

The Year Kenny Loggins Ruined Christmas

And I don't even know who Kenny Loggins is! Seriously, if you want to read the most moving and inspiring nativity story ever, THIS IS IT.

(Disclaimer: I may have exaggerated the seriousness of this nativity story. Possibly it's more 'pee yourself laughing' than 'weep with pure emotion'. Just warning you.)

In other news, I bought myself a ticket to go and see Colin's play in February! This is verging on crazy sponteneity for me. I'm thinking of it as a post-thesis treat :)

Forgot to add! I was just watching the coverage of President Obama signing the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell into law, and then the White House 'It Gets Better' video. Such a great thing to see :D :D

Coverage from Jezebel

I love it! I've been hoping for a Christmas entry and re-checking the page every day or so, but this was even funnier than I was expecting :D

I will NEVER forget The God of Cake. I get the impression Allie must have been a bit of a nightmare child to look after!

If I was still up in Wales, I wouldn't be able to go either :( It's only because I'm at home and London is only about an hour and a half by train from here.

I'm sure lots of people will be writing reviews and stuff though! And just think of all the lovely promotional pictures that we're bound to get :D

That was hilarious. Kenny Loggins is a singer from the 70-80s. Not a bad singer either.

Why hyperboleandahalf chose Kenny remains a mystery. But such fun!

Am very envious of you going to see Colin. Damn ocean!

WAIT JUST A SECOND.

Kenny Loggins is Footloose man??!!!! How could I not know this fact! I love that song! In fact, I'm pretty sure I posted a link to a dancing in the movies fanvid to that song...

I LOVE Hyperbole and a Half! :D That might be my favorite one so far, actually, but they always make me grin like a loon.

They are so brilliantly funny! If Allie was even half that bad, I have the greatest admiration for her parents. It makes for hilarious stories though :D :D

I didn't think anything could beat The God of Cake, but I think that one might have JUST inched ahead...

Oh, I don't know. I think the one where she had to go to the dentist just beats them all.

Oh God, I read that last night and I'm getting over a cold and I had a lingering cough and I kept laughing so hard I'd get a coughing fit. I swear, it took me like a half hour to get through it.

Hahaha I love your icon!!! That one was so true as well, I too have my 'adult' phases, and they get abandoned just as quickly :D

My ribs actually hurt from laughing reading the Nativity one, she's a genius!

I'm very excited about it! It sounds like an interesting play too, I'm sure I shall feel very cultured (even though I'm totally going as a fangirl).

Poor Kenny indeed! It must be hard knowing you're responsible for ruining someone's theatrical masterpiece.

That story was hilarious. "OH MY GOSH, IT'S JESUS!" and "YELL AT THE INKEEPER" "AAARGH!" "YELL WORDS!!" all made me lol XD.

Btw, Kenny Loggins is also responsible for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8rZWw9HE7o

I may have that on my mp3 player. I am weak for cheesy 80's music!

On the subject of the nativity I am HUGELY looking forward to the next new Top Gear episode on Boxing Day. The guys will be driving through the desert and amongst a whole other bunch of stuff will sort of be acting like the Three Wise Men :D :D

Ah Top Gun! The cheesiest 80s flick of all :D He did Footloose too apparently, I love that one!

I haven't heard of that Boxing Day Top Gear! I have now added it to my Christmas viewing :) I heard today that James had been hospitalised after some filming, I hope he's ok now :/

I just read that out loud to my husband who is recuperating from a broken ankle. We were in hysterics. It was the best laugh we've had in weeks. Thanks for the link. :-D

:D I'm happy to hear it cheered you and your hubby up!! I always enjoy that site but I have NEVER read anything as funny as that. By the time the three wise men staggered in from the kitchen with glasses of vodka, I couldn't breathe for laughing!
