29 Days Left Until Christmas
Last year I did the Christmas Countdown which proved very popular! So the Christmas countdown posts are back! The Geek Alabama Christmas countdown posts begins now!
At the North Pole:
Santa and the elves are still recovering from the big Thanksgiving meal they ate last week! The North Pole actually gets people from around the world to donate the huge Thanksgiving meal every year! And it does take everyone in the village to prepare! You have to feed all of those elves a very good meal. Unlike some retailers in America; Thanksgiving was a day off for elves. They did not have to make the toys again until Friday morning, they deserve a break!
Christmas Song:
Let’s start the Christmas Countdown on a funny note! Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer by Elmo & Patsy has been the funny song during the Christmas season. Seriously; how does grandma get run-over from the reindeer on Santa’s sleigh?
Adult Gift Idea:
Many homes have a book shelf. But do you actually pull out a book to read? Why not get this book clock. Find at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LRLEES/?tag=047-20.
Child Gift Idea:
One of the most popular Christmas gifts this season will be Skylanders Giants. Many kids love this game! Find at many retailers or at: Amazon.com.
Christmas Charity:
This is new for 2012. I thought I would post a different charity each day that helps people during the Christmas season and year-around. Let’s start with the American Red Cross. They are the first ones on the scene to help people after disasters. And they could use your help! Go to the American Red Cross website at: http://www.redcross.org/.
You can donate $10 by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to donate to Disaster Relief efforts, or PREVENT to 90999 to donate to the Measles Initiative.
