“Oh the weather outside is frightful

“But the fire is so delightful

“And since we’ve no place to go

“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!!”

“Wait. Stop the singing. No fire. This is Frosty the Snowman with Snow Wife Mrs. Grandma Brrrr. YES to Snow, NO to Fire. As you can see, snow people are made of snow. To us, frightful weather is so delightful and the only place to go. Let it Snow. Let it Snow. Let it Snow.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frosty the Snowman first appeared in a popular song recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys in 1950. Of course, wintry sightings of a jolly happy soul with a corncob pipe, a button nose and two eyes made out of coal had been reported for years. The children knew the secret. When a magical old silk hat was placed on a certain snowman, Frosty began to dance around. He was alive as he could be, and Frosty could laugh and play just the same as you and me. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was the one who tipped off Gene Autry and the music industry. After that, the Snowman was out of the drift. Frosty’s last name is Brrrr. He’s married and his Snow Wife is Mrs. Grandma Brrrr. You’re the first to know. The song for the two will probably come out next year. For this year, let’s get back to fun. Go Frosty and Grandma Brrrr.

Meanwhile, Chubby Penguin and his friend No-Tooth-Decay, with his hands in the air from a good dentist’s report, are rounding up the gang for their Penguin duties.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, and many reside in Antarctica around the South Pole, which is at the other end of the world from the North Pole and the invisible workshops of Santa, his elves, the flying reindeer and Santa’s sleigh. There is another very secret fact that the penguins in Antarctica know, and scientists have yet to discover. The North Pole and the South Pole are closer together than is generally expected, and they are connected by the Upside Downside Elevator. You have to speak Penguin to find the door, but once you’re there, just press the glowing red call button, wait until the doors open, step inside, press the blinking “Down-Up” button (there is only one button and one way to go) and hold on. When the doors open, you’ll be looking at Santa’s workshops. If you’re a penguin (and most are who take this ride), just Hop on the Elf Trolley and report to work.

Another little known fact: Penguins are excellent mechanics. They maintain Santa’s sleighs in tip-top condition, and they are responsible for the little details that Santa often overlooks when he’s in a rush to mount up and shout, “Dash Away, Dash Away, Dash Away All,” to the anxious reindeer and Rudolph prancing in front.

Here’s a snapshot of Motley and the Penguin Crew of Sleigh #1. Please note the attention to detail: hat, a warm scarf or two, small tree for interior lighting and big red boots to keep Santa’s feet warm and ready to jump down three billion chimneys or so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s getting to be that time. Frosty and Mrs. Brrrr have the children excited from play and ready to head home to place the Christmas Eve cookies and milk by the tree. Chubby, No-Tooth-Decay, Motley and the Penguin Crew have everything in place for a well-running sleigh and a well-dressed Santa. Santa Claus himself is about to step out from his Crystal Reading Ball after having matched the Christmas letters to the cargoed inventory to ensure his sleigh is packed with presents for good boys and girls of all ages around the globe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry

“You better not pout, I’m telling you why

“Santa Claus is coming to town.

“Ho ho ho ho!”

 

He’ll be here before you know it.

Better be ready,

 

Grandpa Jim
