This CD is in my car...LOVE this new CD, LOVE Josh Groban---new for Christmas, who wouldn't love to listen to this while out on a drive looking at the lights? Tt even has 'O Come All Ye Faithful' featuring the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Gotta check it out.

This game is in my closet...I know this is not a new game, but Bryan & I played this tonight with some friends of ours and I about peed my pants! This was the first time we have ever played it and absolutely loved it! Such a great gift idea for friends, family, whoever.
