I wonder if Santa and his helpers are busy at the North Pole right now? Christmas is only 15 days away and I’m sure everything is in full gear at the North Pole. I bet all the reindeers are resting up for their long journey they will have to make on December 25th. I wonder how I could get to the North Pole, if I decided to make the trip up to Santa’s Workshop?

I know Karen in Frosty the Snowman was looking for a train to get Frosty to the North Pole and it was going to be pretty expensive. Can a train really travel all the way to the North Pole? I guess this would be doubtful with all the snow and ice that would be along the way to the North Pole.  I guess a small airplane or helicopter would be your best bet to make the trip up north.

Now during the summer months when the Earth tilts the North Pole toward the sun, it doesn’t really get dark at the North Pole. That is what I hear anyways. They say it looks like evening and never gets totally dark during the summer months at the North Pole. I guess during the winter time when Santa and his helpers are preparing for the Christmas trip, you would have a lot of night time hours up there. I guess it would be one of the darkest places on Earth during the winter time. Not only would it be dark, but you would have to brave some of the coldest temps on the planet too. So while we might think of the North Pole as a fun and festive atmosphere right now, it’s probably very dark and cold at the North Pole and wouldn’t be anywhere that we would want to be.

Is any one of these songs your favorite? I love how all the radio stations will play Christmas songs during the holidays. I like a lot of Christmas songs and its hard to just pick one. One that many people don’t talk about is the Hippo Song and that’s a great Christmas song that just doesn’t get played much. It’s a story about a boy wanting a hippopotamus for Christmas and it’s the only thing he wants. The name of the song is called: I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas.

Now since I live in the South, I really like the song by Alabama called: Christmas In Dixie This is a song that has a lot of different U.S. cities in it, such as Fort Payne, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, and Charolotte, Carolin (North Carolina). You can also hear New York City, Atlanta, and Chicago in this song by Alabama. It’s a great Christmas song and I look forward to listening to this one each year.

So what’s your favorite Christmas song? Have you ever heard of the Hippo Song or Christmas in Dixie? Did I not list a Christmas song you like? Please be sure to let me know your favorite Christmas songs and any songs that you look forward to hearing each year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The YouTube Sensation Alex recently posted a new video over at Youtube.com. She had a message for all the people out there that was “EMO” hating. My first thought was “why is so many people hating that muppets character?”. Well it didn’t take me long to see I was getting “EMO” confused with the lovable character “ELMO”.

As you can see no one could hate “ELMO”, because he loves you!

So who are these ”EMO” people that Alex is talking about and why do people hate them? I had to do a search at Google and see what information I could find. This is one small description I found:

“Emo is a type of music. Short for emotional. However, a lot of people have taken beyond the music and turned it into a way to dress.”

That is just one of the million definitions I found on the word Emo. Emo is viewed at in many different ways by many different people. It seems that it mostly involves young people, wearing dark clothes, piercings all over the body, and are often depressed in some sort of way. I found a lot of websites debating just what emo was and the differences go on and on. I did ask my 13 year-old nephew and he was very familiar with the term. So I guess it’s just one of those things the younger crowd know about.

Alex Calls Out the Emo Haters

Alex seems to have touched on a hot topic. There was 82 comments on this video at YouTube last time I checked. It seems a lot of people have a lot of strong comments on the topic of emos.

Alex is really busy in school and doing other things right now. I will try to put up more videos soon and we can continue to watch Alex work her way through high school and whatever else might be out on the horizon from this talented teen from Mexico.

***For the record Alex was talking about Emo and not “Elmo” haters. So everyone (including Alex) loves Elmo from Sesame Street!

“Sunny day - Sweepin’ the clouds away,
On my way to where the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street.

Come and play, everything’s A-OK
Friendly neighbors there that’s where we meet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street”
