New Years is a great time to think about the things that make our lives worth living.  For me, one of those things is Muppets (which should come as no surprise to a regular reader of this blog, see HERE, HERE and HERE).

If you don’t believe me that Muppets can make it worth it to wake up each day, watch the video below (and try not to smile) - which is not only appropriate for the holiday at hand, but also features one of my favorite Muppets.

And now that you feel better about life,  takepart with the Jim Henson foundation!

Holiday! America! Yay! Muppets!

Enjoy the long weekend. I think some of us may be posting over the next couple days anyway, so feel free to check back.
