“Bumbles bounce!” Yukon Cornelius in Rudolph
Bergermeister Meisterberger – love the name, Santa Claus is Coming to Town
the Charlie-in-the-Box on the Island of Misfit Toys - Rudolph
The Snowman that sings “Silver and Gold” – Burl Ives is the voice, Rudolph
the sad little spindly tree Charlie Brown picks
“fra-geee-lay. It must be French.” “It says fragile dear” - A Christmas Story
“It’s a major award” - A Christmas Story
when the little boy can’t put his arms down. “put your arms down at school dear” – A Christmas Story
when the crossing guard swallows his whistle - Frosty the Snowman
the Santa in Frosty the Snowman.

I will be working at the office today instead of from home. My work day will be longer so I won't visit you until tonight or tomorrow - BUT - my pledge to you, I will visit everyone who leaves a comment today!
