December 2007
Christmas songs. Aaaaallll the time. What else??
And the year in 36 pictures, because 36 is all they would allow:
*1: A repeat from the previous month, but I was a little obsessed with this song in the second half of 2007.
*2: This coincided with a new-found obsession with Veronica Mars. I've said it before, I'll say it again - thank god for DVD boxsets.
