Hang in there

It's the Sixth Day of Hanukkah, there are just a few more days to go

At this point you may want to skip the unnecessary calories and just drink the oil - but not too much. Mussolini used to use this as a torture for his political enemies.



Another reason Hanukkah feels better than Christmas - Christmas isn’t the only holiday who has ugly sweaters! Hanukkah has some pretty tacky sweaters to compete with

Can I interest you in Hannukah? -

A Hanukkah Prostate CBS Cares -



So remember to give the gift of a kosher prostate

Hanukkah Hip Hop   Ari Lesser -



Remember, so far there has been no barking dog version of I had a Little Dreidel. You might begin thinking about where you are going to store your Hanukkah decorations? (I don't mean to insinuate that you aren't normally observant. Perhaps you proudly display your heirloom menorah in your living room. I can't be everywhere.)


December 7, 1969 -

Another Rankin/Bass production, Frosty the Snowman, premiered on CBS-TV on this date.



This was Jimmy Durante's final film (not counting documentaries and one short film appearance).


The original recording of Frosty The Snowman by Gene Autry was his seasonal follow-up to his successful recording of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1949.



This time he peaked at #7 in December 1950.


The Snowman in July (1944)




Frosty The Snowman (1953)




Snowman's Dilemma (1960)




The Snowman (1982)



When this program first aired on PBS stations in the United States, the introduction featured a newly filmed introduction by David Bowie instead of Raymond Briggs on the grounds that the animation needed a star.


Before you go - I couldn't resist this mashup of I Melt With You and Frosty The Snowman by The Skivvies



I should have known what the costumes for The Skivvies were going to be.

I will not play the songs featuring Olaf from Frozen (the earworms they cause has led to a UN report being issued concerning possible war crime being committed by yours truly.) Really, don't bother to look for them if you can help yourself.
