9 Days Left Until Christmas
At the North Pole:
One thing the North Pole gets all the time is letters from kids. The North Pole has a mail processing center where they receive all the letters and e-mails from children all around the world. The letters and e-mails are read and then the child’s wishes are entered into a computer database so the elves at the toy making plant will know what the child wants for Christmas.
Christmas Song:
I’ll Be Home for Christmas was written by American lyricist Kim Gannon, and the Jewish-American composer Walter Kent. Buck Ram, who previously wrote a poem and song with the same title, was credited as a co-writer of the song following a lawsuit. The song was first recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby who scored a top ten hit with the song. This Christmas song has since gone on to become a Christmas standard. I liked the version from Rascal Flatts the best!

Here is another charity that is helping the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.
