(I urgently warn our Boston friends to avoid the area like the plague. Or at least break out their polo mallets to wade through the crowds.)
Mayor Wu will be joined by Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston, marking the 52nd year that Nova Scotia has given a tree to the people of Boston as thanks for relief efforts following the December 6, 1917, explosion of a munitions ship in Halifax Harbor.
Within 24 hours of the disaster, a train loaded with supplies and emergency personnel was making its way from Boston to Nova Scotia.
Today’s second theme – A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss...
No family is perfect - Even kids abused by their domineering father
Today's second Christmas special - A Beach Boys Christmas
Toy Drive Public Service Announcement
Alone on Christmas Day –
The song was intended to appear on the never released 1977 Merry Christmas from the Beach Boys album.
Child of Winter (Christmas Song) –
This song was released two days before Christmas and thus had no chance of commercial success. It is now an almost impossible single to find and was released for the first time on album for the 1998 Ultimate Christmas set, though it was intended for the 1977 Christmas album.
Santa’s Got An Airplane –
The song uses the same instrumental track from Al Jardine's Loop De Loop, Flip-Flop.
I’ll be home for Christmas –
This was written by Walter Kent (music) and James Kimball “Kim” Gannon (words). Though Kent and Gannon collaborated on other songs, none reached the same level of popularity as this song.
Another Christmas song they got around to sing in between the verbal abuse from their father
The Man With All The Toys –
As a single in 1964, the song had limited success (No. 6 on the Billboard Christmas chart), but built sales over successive Christmases and is listed by Billboard in the Top 100 selling Christmas songs in history.
There is no place like home for the holiday.
Demand Euphoria!
