Merry Christmas Everyone! While this video will mostly make sense to my amazing L squad, I think most racers will have an appreciation for this. The lyrics are posted below. 🙂 Also, I rewrote The Christmas Song last Christmas for my team, REV217. I ran across the old video clip from last year and posted it too. Enjoy!
~My Favorite Things~
Rooms with A/C and hot showers and cable
Eating our dinner at a dining room table
Clean nalgene bottles without tasting chlorine
These are a few of my favorite things…
7/11’s on every street corner
Going somewhere without seeming a foreigner
Fun Dip from Patti and sweets that she brings
These are a few of my favorite things!
Pictures of signs that say “no stand on toilet”
Water from a sink when we don’t have to boil it
Bus drivers that don’t honk every two feet…
These are a few of my favorite things!
When the spider bites
When mosquitoes sting
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Wi-Fi cafes and a fresh pot of coffee
Clean walls and TP when using the Squatty,
Thermo-rest pillows that are fit for a king
These are a few of my favorite things!
Meat on a stick and some pizza with curry
Taxi men running to the bus in a hurry
Markets that don’t smell like sewage debris,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Hiking packs piled high at the gate in the airport
Motorbikes being the family transport
Temperatures under 100 degrees….
These are a few of my favorite things!
When the spider bites
When mosquitoes sting
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Moments when we can yell out, “World Race Flag”
Women who carry big jars on their heads,
Sleeping without roosters or goats interrupting,
These are a few of my favorite things!
20 hour train rides through 4 different countries
Having someone else who will wash all your laundry
Barbed wire clothes lines instead of a string,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Earplugs when you have a teammate who snores,
Finding new treasures at second hand stores,
Shirts without holes and a clean pair of jeans,
These are a few of my favorite things!
When there’s no lights, when I feel beat,
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Reading the comments on all my blog updates,
Going through customs when we don’t have to wait,
Eating a meal that is not rice and beans,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Finding a book in the free pile table
Internet connection that’s actually stable
Movies on anything but my PC Screen,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Naked kids running to you for a hug
Having converters for the right type of plug
Dancing to “Teapot” at The Awakening
These are a few of my favorite things!
When there’s no lights, when I feel beat,
When I’m feeling sad
And then I don’t feel so bad!
