a million days of xmas music - day 4

there was another song i wanted to use for today.. i'm having trouble finding it in internet land at the moment, so it'll have to wait. it's a super good one, seriously.



jill sobule - merry christmas from the family.

i hope this isn't trending too strongly towards the 90s. does no one write good christmas songs anymore, is that it? sigh.

(i'm partial to google reader..) first is the storque , of course. here you get updates on everything going on at etsy, and you can subscribe to certain sections alone if you want.. etsy news, reviews, how-tos, etc. there is also unofficial etsy news , which is an unaffiliated source for news only. this is great for when etsy is down, and, well.. times when they aren't keeping us abreast of everything.
