Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is a song introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a version with modified lyrics, which has become more common than the original. The song was credited to Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, although during a December 21, 2006 NPR interview, Martin said that Blane had encouraged him to write the song but had not had anything more to do with writing it. In 2007, ASCAP ranked “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” the third most performed Christmas song written by ASCAP members of the past five years.[
Took a sip of champagne reminiscing over this year. Family Love!

SEE IT: California homeless man uses $100 gift to give food to others
YouTube prankster Josh Paler Lin decided to give a man named Thomas the money and follow him to see how he spends it. His first stop was a local liquor store but instead of buying alcohol he purchased food that he gave away to others in need.

A homeless man was given a chance, and he touched an awful lot of surprised people.
A viral online video from YouTube prankster Josh Paler Lin tells the story of a homeless man named Thomas and his desire to not let his circumstances keep him from being selfless – by using his newfound money to help not himself, but others.
Josh made the video, which has received more than 11 million hits by Wednesday morning, with the idea to give a random homeless person $100 and secretly follow him to see how he spends it.
He meets an elderly man with gray hair, a mustache and dark jacket named Thomas holding up a sign along a highway. He tells Josh he’s just trying to get enough to buy something to eat and Josh shocks him with the $100.
“Oh goodness. Oh no way,” he says as Josh pulls five $20 bills from his wallet. “Oh brother, are you sure? I’m starting to tear up over here. That’s like incredible.”
Josh reassures him it’s totally fine as they hug. Thomas says he never had something like this happen before in his life.
The next part of the video seemed to be expected by many viewers but Thomas surprised them all.
He packed up his stuff and began walking down the road to a liquor store. The video records him exit the store with several bags, but he didn’t buy alcohol.
He purchased food that he then delivered to other needy people in a nearby park.

Back from the Brunch, and Peanut cleaned up…
She got her pet finally. She’s been asking for one for well over a year. It’s a beautiful gray cat that she named Love.
She also got to see Annie for the third time since it came out….I enjoyed it too.
Good for Peanut. I wish her and Love the bestest. I’m a cat lover too.
Awww, the first pet is always the most special.
Happy Holidays to all.

I def see the “Running Man and the “Pony” dances. LOL
That brought tears to my eyes because I remember how much I loved Peanuts, the Charlie Brown Christmas show (especially the Christmas Dance) and Vince Guaraldi’s soundtrack Merry Christmas to all of you!
Merry Christmas, Kathleen!
I can’t imagine any child not being exposed to Charlie Brown and the gang, especially the Christmas show.
If you’re ever in the Twin Cities, you must check out St. Paul and the Charlie Brown characters statues.
