Forever Young

Whooptee doo watch us go Look out world we meet below Flying in this snow white stuff Landing softly on our duffs Isn't it so great to ride Perfect day for feeling pride Doesn't matter what our age Every moment we have staged Doing this for years and years Laughed so much we shed some tears So don't you worry we'll get by Sliding down this old hillside Don't you fret we got this made For years and years this path is paved So button up and sit real tight Watch us go with such delight Watch out world we're coming through This entertainment just for you Soon you'll learn and won't forget Life can never have regrets So we are both just young at heart Daring and pure works of art Whopptee doo and Whopptee dee You're never too old ~ just wait and see. ~ Francine Pucillo ~ Copyright Jan 20, 2004 used with permission  Also see http://www.ewa.bicom.pl

What The Children Heard

We all know that children and adults don't look at the world the same way. Well, it seems they don't HEAR the same, either. You're sure to get a chuckle out of some of these favorite old Christmas carols, as sung by the children: "On the first day of Christmas, my tulip gave to me a partly gingerbread tree..." "Later on, we'll perspire, as we drink by the fire...." "He's making a list, chicken and rice...." "Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel; Barney's the King of Israel...." "Felice never died, Felice never died..." "Olive, the other reindeer...." "Sleep in heavenly peas......" "In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he is parched and brown...." "Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his swing set..." "You'll go down in Listerine..." "Oh come, froggy faithful..." "Oh what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap, and hay...." "Round young birds in mother and child...." "As shepherds washed their socks by night... And, a new one added this year by my very own grandson (age 5): "Four college birds, three french hens, two purple doves, and a partridge in a pear tree"  Author Unknown by me

Lessons From Rudolph

"7 Things Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Can Teach Us About Life"  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is just a plain exciting story (and fun, too).  Of course, you've got Rudolph (the underdog). You've got Rudolph's dad, Donner (a little full of himself, won't ever show weakness father) You've got the monster, the Abominable Snowman (Bumble who "bounces") And you've got the rag tag team that comes together, including Hermey the Elf (aspiring dentist) and Yukon Cornelius (explorer extraordinaire), to overcome all odds And there are just a whole lot of lessons that can be gained from this cast of characters as it has to do with real life (even though it's just a cartoon) (1) We all have our "flaws." It's how we respond to them that matters. (2) Don't write off the odd ball. He just might be pulling the sleigh one day.   (3) There's nothing like having a guy that's good at extractions when you need to pull teeth (tame the monster). (4) Covering up a "problem" is never the best way of dealing with it. (5) Feeling like a "misfit" helps us to empathize with (care about) "misfits."  (6) Even Santa (the "boss" or upper management) can learn a lesson or two.  (7) Everybody enjoys a good story with a happy ending. (Don't we?) Overall these lessons pretty much say it all afterall... and enjoy the movie!! 1. Acceptance is necessary. The main theme of Rudolph is accepting others’ differences. When Rudolph was born, no one else had a red nose. Once his dad found out about his nose, Rudolph was taught to hate his nose. His dad, Donner, covered his nose with dirt. His friends at the reindeer school made fun of him. Even Santa didn’t understand his nose. The final straw was when Donner and Comet, the reindeer coach, basically stated that Rudolph was a disappointment. That’s mighty heavy for what’s supposed to be a kids’ movie. 2. Find value in being different. Another character who had trouble fitting in was Hermey the Elf. Hermey, poor thing, is the only elf who doesn’t want to go with the hive-mind mentality of his fellow elf friends. He hates making toys; he just wants to be a dentist! But everyone in his world doesn’t understand him. Like Rudolph, he’s thought of as being a disappointment just because he doesn’t want to go with everyone else’s flow. He wants to go against the stream. 3. Find your tribe. Eventually, Rudolph and Hermey, who have both left home after being ousted by their respective groups, make it to the Island of Misfit Toys. Like Rudolph and Hermey, the toys have been cast aside because they were defective in some way. But even though they’re licking their wounds and want to be a part of Santa’s sleigh, they have created an ecosystem for themselves. By supporting each other, they helped each other keep the hope of one day being gifted to a child.
