A Very Special Holiday Message from Life Without Pants

This week we’ve done a lot of reflecting – thinking about the year that was and the year ahead. It’s been an amazing year and I only anticipate bigger and better things in 2010. Today, Mrs. Life Without Pants, our dog Cowboy (who really steals the show), and yours truly have a very special holiday message for you. 2:49 of pure gold. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, & Happy New Year! Thank you all for an amazing year full of memories!

Hahah cute! I can’t believe you guys have the snuggies! Always dream of looking like monks? I shouldn’t talk, I broke out the UGGS for this snow “storm” we’re having in Paris. And by storm I mean an inch but chaos on the streets.

Happy holidays to you 3!

So you’re an “UGG” person huh? My opinion of you might have just changed…lol – kidding, kidding. Enjoy the snow in Paris – just saying that out loud makes me wish I was there. SOMEDAY – maybe in 2010! :) Happy Holidays Lindsey!

Cowboy was looking a little left out w/ all of the gift exchanges, he wanted in on those presents, haha. Snuggies were a very nice touch, as well. Have a great Christmas!

He got a treat right after it faded to black – don’t worry, that guy is spoiled rotten. Merry Christmas to you as well – thanks for all you’ve contributed here. Looking forward to big things in 2010 from the ‘Curb!

I think I can arrange for the three of us to all be bff’s once you move to Chicago. And you’ll love this…she’s a Gaga fan as well! We’d be one big happy (slightly dysfunctional) family!

Wow, ha ha. When she gave you two bars of soap I was already laughing. But then you gave her your free ebook :)

Ah man, I can’t until next year, to read more inspiring blog posts, and read about how married is like. I’m appy for you Matt, and be thankful for everything you have. You’ve given so much to all of us. All in the true spirit of Christmas. If Santa existed, he’d be proud :)

Happy Holidays to you and your kin!

Yeah the “gifts” were a good surprise, for both of us. Thanks for your kinds words sir – it’s my pleasure to share my experiences here and I hope the community trend only continues to grow and develop next year. PS we have to grab lunch or something soon – what area of Chicago are you in?

Should I put those babies into print? I didn’t offer an option to “buy” a printed copy because much of the material isn’t my own, it’s very much a collaboration effort from many people. But if you’d like me to personally send you one, let me know! They make great stocking stuffers! :)

I do have one comment about the video…I think Cowboy needed a dog Santa hat or this: https://www.snuggiefordogs.com/flare/next

Matt Cheuvront December 19, 2009 at 1:06 am

Haha yes, I need to work on getting him his own Snuggie – he does actually have an ugly Christmas sweater, but I have to dig through the boxes to see where I packed it away. It means so much that you’ve found inspiration within these walls, and I hope that continues for you next year and for years to come. Looking forward to seeing your blog come to life in the near future!

You look absolutely ridiculous in your snuggie! I mean that in the nicest way possible, good buddy. No one can make those look cool, not even you, so there is no hope for anyone to pull offf the snuggie look.

Maybe Cowboy could?

Clever, Matt, putting your dog in your holiday video. That’s like those people who include pictures of their dogs on their Christmas greetings. I may or may not be a sucker for those, too ;)

Nice video — it’s always interesting to reflect on how far we’ve come, understand how far we’ve yet to go. Happy holidays to you and yours!

I know the magic formula to getting you over here is to include promises of dogs! We have come a long way in only a year, haven’t we. I honestly think I’ve learned more this year than I did in the past five combined. It’s been that kind of year, without a doubt, and I’m looking forward to what the future will bring. Happy Holidays Susan, been a pleasure befriending you through out blogs, on Twitter, etc!
