This 'n That

* Even though Academy Award winner, singer, actress, songwriter and producer Irene Cara has passed away far too soon, her songs will “Live Forever.”

* May you never be too grown up to search the skies on Christmas Eve.

* Are you all watching the Christmas movies on the Great American Family Channel?

* Have to laugh that actress, and I use that term VERY loosely, Alyssa Milano gave back her Tesla because of Elon Musk purchasing Twitter, and then bought a VW ev. Those who know their history will get it.

* Keep calm and jingle all the way. * People are burning their Balenciaga clothing in protest to those horrific ad campaign pictures of children, and rightly so, with much more to be done—like picketing their stores, calling them out as the vile pedophiles they are, etc. But what I don’t get is why people bought anything in that clothing line in the first place. It doesn’t even look well made— just something with their name splashed across it.

* Who remembers John Denver’s Rocky Mountain Christmas Special with Steve Martin, Olivia Newton-John and Valerie Harper?

* It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters, it’s who’s around it. Charles M. Schulz * So sorry to hear of the passing of Kirstie Alley, who was originally from Wichita, Kansas. She had some great movies, but most will remember her from the TV series “Cheers.” My favorite role she played was in the TV miniseries “North and South” as Virgilia Hazard.

* Blast from the Past! Hey all you pom pom girls and cheerleaders from the 1970s, do you remember performing to the song “Snoopy’s Christmas” by The Royal Guardsmen at the last home basketball game before Christmas every year?

* I think Sven from the movie “Frozen” would make a great addition to Santa’s team of reindeer.
