Ride ’em, Cowboy! I mean, Cowkitty! My question is how does it happen that suddenly a kitten is riding on the back of a tortoise? It just seems so, well, unusual. But, hey, if this doesn’t make you smile, I suggest you take your Grinch antidote right this very minute! It’s time to get into the spirit of the holidays. We’ve got less than three weeks to ho ho ho!
WARNING: Do not put your tongue on an icy pole. It will get stuck!

Oh, those lights!
Ever wondered what cats are really thinking? Now you can find out.
Everyone knows Santa Claus’s address is the North Pole. Each year, the tiny Alaskan town of North Pole (population 1,600) receives about 120,000 letters from around the world. Even letters without stamps are delivered, a rare exception for the U.S. Postal Service. Community volunteers make sure those with return addresses usually get a reply and a “North Pole” postmark. A few years back a letter arrived with a Michigan postmark and no postage stamp. Inside the envelope was a thousand-dollar money order and an anonymous note that said: “If you are who you say you are, you’ll put this to good use.” The money bought a lot of stamps.
If you are health conscious and haven’t checked out the great site Vital Juice, you should. They recently asked me to makeover a reader’s morning, and I did! Megan Kretz, a Manhattan marathoner who runs up to three hours before heading to work, found her mornings a race against time. Check it out for my advice and my friend, celebrity stylist Jeff Gautier’s 5 minute makeup tips.
For all the talk of pat downs and body scans, one thing is still amazing: We can fly! During my holiday travels, I caught myself in childlike wonder at the fact that thousands of times a day we send 450 ton metal tubes packed with people shooting into the sky. GE has been doing a series of videos on technology. Their Paths of Flight is darn breathtaking. Watch the choreography of all the planes that take off and land in a day. Wowza.
Chanukah or Hanukkah… no matter how you spell it… it’s the Festival of Lights, an 8 day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt. One of my favorite parts of Hanukkah is spinning the dreidel (a 4 sided top) and playing for chocolate. So, light your menorah, spin your dreidel and listen to the Maccabeats “Candlelight,”.
It’s holiday fun!
