IT IS GOING TO SNOW!
That is right! I am writing this on Friday morning and, by the time most of you see it in your inboxes on Saturday morning, Chicago will be well on its way to five to inches of snow.
I cannot wait!
(Of course, it’ll all melt when we hit the 40s next week, but I’ll worry about that later.)
While I go dig out my snow boots and cross-country skis, I’ll leave you with Gin and Topics.
Oh, and Buddy the Elf wants to remind you there are only five more Fridays until Christmas.

5. Starbucks Holiday Cup Controversy. “Look at this cup! You may as well call it a Satan sipper!” Ellen does a bit on the controversy around the plain red cups that Starbucks introduced this year and it is laugh out loud funny. I don’t know what’s more funny: Her solution for seeing Christmas as Starbucks or how to see Baby Jesus in your pancakes. I’ll let you decide.

4. Starbucks Responds to the Controversy. And while we’re on the topic, “Starbucks” responds to the red cup controversy with other options you can buy in-store that are Christmas-y.

3. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. They’re baaaaack! The third generation is going off to college and there is a surprise wedding in store. This trailer makes it look like the movie will be awesome!

2. Naptown Funk. This is cute! Midshipmen have liberty on a Saturday afternoon so they record a music video in downtown Annapolis.

1.Wang Rong Rollin—Chick Chick. I just. Wow. I don’t know what the heck this is, but it has more than 19 million views. Let this be a lesson to you: If you want to make a viral video, do this.

Have a great weekend!
P.S. There will not be a Gin and Topics next week. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
