I re-wrote the lyrics to the classic Santa Baby as performed by Eartha Kitt.
And then, one evening, I finally found my “quiet place”… a busy Walmart parking lot in a remote part of Utah.
Vernal.
Vernal, Utah.
And IN THAT PARKING LOT — I recorded me singing my new rendition of Santa Baby. Desperate times, people.
This is my letter to Santa. Santa Baby. There are a lot of 7 year-old cool cats out there… sending him letters or visiting him at the mall. Soon they’ll be leaving him cookies! I have competition, and I want to stand out. I want him to know how verrrrry good I’ve been, that I’ll be leaving him cookies too, and Santa… I want you to know how verrry handsome YOU are in that Big. Red. Coat. *RAWR*
I can’t believe I just posted this. I have official lost it. Heh. That was fun… and please note: I never claimed to be like Eartha Kitt, just crazy. Simple and crazy. And glittery. Oh, and maybe sometime awesome, but that’s cuzza the glitter.
Merry Christmas. All silliness aside… Merry Christmas. Times are tight, and sadness abounds. I believe The Greatest Gift has already been given. May your day be merry and bright… Love, be kind and laugh with others. I hope I’ve been able to help you with that last one :)

I was all set to make some witty comments but instead I’m in awe of your:
a) voice. Hello! You can sing! And do that cool growl thing!
b) your video abilities. Hello! You can make a wicked cool video!
c) your perfect teeth. Hello! These should be on a commercial for Crest!
Merry Christmas, Jenny. May your next year abound in excessive glitter, new Converse, and fame and fortune.
No fair. You can actually sing. Bedazzling skills AND tune carrying capabilities? We’re breaking up.
That was amazing! i have to agree with what kearsie said. Your voice(you won’t catch me warbling away on video, although I do sing with my kids) and I sure wish I could put together a video like you do.
Ditto everything Kearsie said.
My laptop is not in the Christmas spirit (speakers going out) but i listened with my little ole’ ear pressed up against the laptop.
I’m so impressed!!!! You’re awesome, as always.
Ummm…all I have to say is that you really shouldn’t have put up a vid of you signing because you obviously CAN sing and you obviously CAN sing very well so obviously I CAN be expecting some singing during your auction mc’ing duty. Also…I think, as auction chairgoddess, I am going to rename your offical title to Young MC. Have a fabu holiday!
You are even awesomer than I knew and I KNEW you were awesome!! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Gonna share it!
Oh my holy heck-that was awesomeness!!! I LOVE when you do videos and now you SING-not only dance-total triple threat!!!
WOW. AMaZing! I think glitter just started to fall from the sky!
This is awesome!!! You are so cute and talented. WAY better than Eartha Kitt. Or Madonna, who also does a version of this.
You big cutie, you! I can’t stand it!!!
That was extraordinary! Well done and then some!
OH MY GOODNESS! Who knew you had mass skills as a singer? You do the vocal fry very well and your lilts are divine! Well done and so stinkin’ cute!!! I don’t know how you get all this done and edited AND be a mom and wife! You are simply amazing!
You are so awesome!! And adorable! Have I mentioned adorable lately!? This made me smile so big! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas with your family!
All I gotta say to Santa is…. Drop the gifts off and leave quietly. You get near my triple-threat and your sleigh will list slightly left the rest of the night.
Holy heck, that was full of awesomeness! *standing ovation*
Merry Christmas Jenny!
I think you can officially take it on the road, girl! You forgot a microphone, so that you can dazzle more people with your talents!
Merry Christmas, friend.
I hope you get everything on your list!
That is youtube material, nothing to be ashamed of, I am glad you posted it. You are amazing! So tallented to say the least. It was AWESOME. You rock Jenny!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
I just looked up in the dictionary under fabulous: it was just your picture! Also under amazing, delicious, glittery – your picture!!!
Love love hug hug
That was my favorite video of yours!!! More please.
My favorite post ofalltime, bar none. Just when I thought I knew how wonderful you are in every way, I find out you can sing too. *shaking head* You are made out of more than awesome is all I have to say.
I just have to say… you are ALL too kind. And I had to film this when I was completely alone because I have a bad case of the nerves… but if people keep going on like this I may need to get therapy to get over my nerves, cuz, golly… what if what you say is true? :) I love you…. Love… <3
Totally cute, totally hot, totally amazing. You’ve got a set of pipes. I’d say it’s time to use them. Your readers are amazed!
Oh a woman after my own heart — Converse low tops! YES! I hope you get at least three pair this year.
Merry Christmas!
p.s. Found you through JD’s link at Facebook. (Hi JD!)
Oh dear lord….
You CRACK ME UP! Thank you for this sillyness on the day before Christmas as I want to pull my hair out from all the things I must do before tomorrow dawns.
Merry Christmas Jenny!
Wow, what a voice!!! You can sign girl. Really. Knocked my socks (and converse) right off. Love it!
… (words fail me – you can SING!!!!!!)
Girl – merry Christmas and all, I can only add my voice to all the ones above: YOU are IT!!!
[snort]
I’m lovin’ what The Husband said (guessing, um, he’s yours, right?) love, love, love this, you sax-hay beastie!
How fun was that to watch?! Love it. Looking forward to the next one.
Reading this post way too late, but that was awesome! You have a very nice voice! Loved the video!
