Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (91759) • Daytona Beach, Florida 8h

It became a very popular Christmas song when it was sung by American singer and songwriter Gene Autry. The song was written in 1949 by Johnny Marks based on the 1939 story of the same name. Autry’s recording went straight to...

Wythenshawe Christmas.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14097) • Ireland 7h

We took our granddaughter to Wythenshawe Hall today for a Victorian Christmassy thing - I hated it but everyone else enjoyed it so I just shut up and smiled. I just want to strangle people who dress up as elves and assume everyone...

Boogie Down (Linda): Boogie Fever

Four Walls @FourWalls (80950) • United States 12 Dec

Hopefully this one will make up for that other song that Linda didn’t like. And hopefully this one is one that you older boogie folks remember. After all, it did go to #1. Put on your dancing shoes as we hit the wayback...

Anyway, ordered sis and bro in law a pet cam for Christmas

snowy @snowy22315 (199965) • United States 12 Dec

I think that is a perfect present. We were talking about that at Thanksgiving. They go away a lot on the weekends, and leave their cats alone. Sometimes they are gone for awhile, so I think a pet cam would be good for peace of...
