Good morning Phoenix and welcome to Wacky Wednesday! In honor of the season, we’re going to take a look at 10 of the strangest New Year’s traditions around the world.

• Mistletoe Under Pillow - The single women of Ireland wait desperately for the New Year’s night because it is the night that can bring them the love of their life. They place mistletoe leaves under their pillow hoping to catch their future husband. It is also believed in Irish culture that it helps them get rid of bad luck.
• Breaking Dishes in Denmark - A strange and weird Danish New Year tradition is throwing breakable dishes at neighbor’s door. Strangely this makes them happy instead of annoying them. The family with the biggest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest one because it means that they have lots of loyal friends.
• Talking to Spirits - Talking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year eve is considered the best time to communicate with the dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. And this is not done at home on an individual basis but is practiced legally. Taos Inn, in New Mexico, e.g. offers 15-minute session of spiritualism and meditation for $15.
• Wearing Polka Dots - Imagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dining table full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year. This all actually happens in the Philippines on the New Year eve every year. Philippines believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.
• Great Ball of Fire Tradition in Scotland - A dangerous Scottish festival around the New Year is the festival of Hogmanay. The Hogmanay Festival is a New Year celebration with a dash of Scottish flair. This festival takes place on the 31st of December every year. Men parade through the streets holding blazing balls of fire. They continuously swing these balls over their heads. According to the locals, the balls of fire bring purification and sunshine. This celebration dates back as far as the Vikings.
• Burning Scarecrows on New Year Eve - Ecuador has a unique custom of making scarecrows and burning them at midnight. They dress up and fill the scarecrows with newspapers and pieces of wood. As midnight approaches, everyone gathers outside their home and each family burns their scarecrow. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares bad luck. This fills their New Year with luck and happiness.
• Dinner for One, Germany - Imagine you are made to watch the same program or show every year on New Year’s eve. Same dialogues, same script and nothing new. Is this fun or torture? In Germany this weird practice is carried by the Germans since 1972. Every single year, on midnight Germans watch the British show “Dinner for One.” The origin of the tradition is unknown, but it is so popular that even the punch line “same procedure every year” now is a catch phrase in Germany. The Germans actually enjoy watching this show.
• New Year Celebrations at Cemetery - Talca is a small town in Chile with a very strange, weird and freaky New Year custom. The people of Talca are celebrating the new year with their dead relatives for the past 15 years. The doors of the cemetery are opened for the local public by the Town’s mayor at 11 pm sharp. People are welcomed in the cemetery with light classical music and dim blinking lights making the cemetery a perfect party place. They believe that their loved ones wait for them in the cemetery and they should start the new year with them. The tradition began in 1995, when a local family jumped the cemetery fence to spend New Year’s near their father’s grave. Now over 5,000 people have adopted this tradition.
• Midnight Kiss - It’s a tradition in America to share a sweet midnight kiss with your girlfriend or boyfriend or with anyone in case you don’t have one. This will make the coming year incredibly beautiful for you. We believe that this practice brings true love. It washes away the bad memories and fate from the past and marks the beginning of a New Year full of love and life. A famous movie, “In Search of a Midnight Kiss” is themed on this New Year Ritual.
• Colorful Underwear on New Year - Residents of Brazil, Mexico, Bolivia and other South American countries welcome the New Year by wearing colorful underpants. The usually wear red, yellow or other brightly colored underwear past midnight to catch good fortune for the coming year. This also helps them find a loving mate. Red means an amorous love life ahead and yellow expresses the desire to gain money and wealth. The wishes of the locals are expressed via their underpants.

So – what are the New Year’s Eve traditions where you are? Do you do anything different or special? Let’s hear about it, and maybe it will help someone start a new tradition of their own!

Have a fangtastic day my friends! <3 Brock V"""V

Good morning Phoenix! We’re rapidly approaching New Year’s Eve, and you know what that means. Not just a lot of drinking or watching the ball drop, but making resolutions that rarely get kept. How about picking a theme for the New Year rather than a resolution?

Here’s some ideas for themes:
• Happiness is a choice
• Be present and mindful
• Express gratitude
• Pay it forward
• Follow your bliss
• Live with intention
• Healthy habits
• Keep it simple
• Shake if off
• Breathe.
• There’s always more to discover

Once you select a theme, find a way to display it in your home or office so that you can see it every day. Many people fail to follow through with resolutions simply because they’re easy to forget. And even though your theme may not necessarily be a goal, keeping your theme somewhere that you’ll see it every day will be a great reminder for you to keep it in mind as you go about your day.
Some good ways to display your theme might be framing it and hanging it on your wall, or keep it written on a whiteboard or chalkboard, or you could even go all out and get a vinyl decal printed with your theme that you can put on a wall in your home! There’s no wrong way to do it, you just want to make sure it’s in a place that you can’t ignore it.

Finally….remember themes are not set in stone. If the theme you chose is not working, feel free to change it. You should never feel constrained or limited.

What would you set as your “theme” for 2016? Do you have ideas for other themes?

Good morning Phoenix! This is the last Monday of 2015 - with New Year's Eve coming up,if you don't have party plans, how about staying in with a movie?

One of the best New Year's movies to watch with your significant other is When Harry Met Sally.
If you're single and don't want to watch romantic fluff, how about a disaster movie? The Poseidon Adventure fits that bill. It sinks on New Year's Eve.

What are your plans for New Year's Eve?

Good morning Phoenix! It’s Wacky Wednesday, but tomorrow is Christmas Eve, so I’m breaking away from my usual schedule.

Here’s some Christmas Eve traditions that you may or may not have thought of:
• Open one gift on Christmas Eve.
• Track Santa’s progress across the globe on NORAD.
• Make reindeer food on Christmas Eve (oats and candy sprinkles) and toss it on the lawn for Santa’s team of reindeer.
• Read The Night Before Christmas at bedtime.
• Leave a ‘trail’ of gifts from the chimney to the tree so show Santa’s route in the house.
• Get matching pajamas for the kids to wear on Christmas Eve. Talk about a great photo op Christmas morning!

Once you get the kiddos in bed, all the gifts wrapped and under the tree, sit back and relax a bit. You’ve earned it.
Here’s something to help relax you:

Good morning Phoenix! It’s Tuesday, and the countdown to Christmas is getting closer. Hope everyone has their shopping done. If not, it’s off to the stores with you, unless you enjoy being in the mall with all the guys that wait till Christmas Eve. *grins*
Here’s some more holiday traditions for around the house – maybe you will find one that you would like to start.
• Start the ‘Elf on a Shelf’ tradition. Your kids will love it and it will keep them on their best behavior!
• Read holiday books before bed each night. The Polar Express, Santa Mouse, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are all excellent tales to boost your family’s holiday spirit.
• Go to a tree farm to locate the perfect Christmas tree. At home, decorate it as a family or let the kids do their thing. Have some treats and hot cider or cocoa on hand to keep energy levels up!
• Create a holiday playlist that your family listens to in the car or at home. Don’t forget classics like ‘White Christmas,’ ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas,’ and ‘The 12 Days of Christmas.’
• Use an advent calendar to count down to Christmas. There are many varieties of advent calendars, from candles that are burned daily to boxes you open daily.
• Set aside one night each week to watch a holiday movie or television special, such “Miracle on 34th Street” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”
• Have your child start an ‘I Am Thankful’ list. Have him add one thing he is thankful for each day. You can turn this into a decoration by having him write it on a paper Christmas tree or snowflake that you then hang across the fireplace or some other area.
• Purchase or make a holiday ornament for each child every year. This is a great reason to reminisce during holiday decorating.
• Sit down with your child and write a letter to Santa.
• As a family, write your holiday letter. Have each member contribute one memorable moment from the year to be recorded to share with friends and family.
• Make holiday decorations yourself! Decorate windows with paper snowflakes, glue glitter onto pinecones and arrange in a bowl, and visit kid-friendly crafts sites to get creative and fun ideas that will involve your children.
• Start a holiday village display. Add a new house or shop to your display each year.
• Camp out in front of your Christmas tree one night. Keep the tree lights on, read holiday stories, and snack on holiday treats.

C’mon folks – let’s hear your holiday traditions! (or even some naughty Elf on the Shelf ideas)

Good morning Phoenix! It’s Monday once again, and Christmas will be upon us quite soon.
So – departing from my usual posts, I’m going to list some more holiday traditions. If you don’t have any traditions of your own yet, it’s never too late to start. Here are some that revolve around the foods served:
• Make traditional dishes for your holiday meals and include foods from your culture or foods you ate growing up. Ask for recipes from relatives to keep your family food traditions alive.
• Organize a cookie-baking party. Invite friends and family, or a group of your kids' friends. Ask everyone to bring their favorite holiday cookie recipe.
• Make the same entree for Christmas Eve (such as stew) and Christmas Day (ham or turkey) every year. Or, choose a side-dish that becomes the yearly tradition, even if it's just for laughs.
• Make a gingerbread house with your family. Those pre-made sets make it easy and provide you with everything you’ll need! Another option is to use graham crackers, some royal icing and candy you've saved for this purpose.
Do you have any family food traditions? Tell us about it in the comments – who knows, you might inspire someone else’s new tradition!

Have a fangtastic day, and get your shopping done!

BB 12/20/15

Good morning Phoenix! It’s Sunday, and Christmas is less than a week away.
How about starting some new traditions? Here’s some ideas that tie in with the current trend of paying it forward:
• Volunteer your time as a family at a soup kitchen or a food bank that hands out food to families in need.
• Find a giving tree that allows you to sponsor a family in need or purchase toys for children in need. Go shopping for the items together and donate them.
• Start a canned food drive in your neighborhood or at your child's school. Ask neighbors to donate canned and non-perishable foods, then donate them to a food bank.
• Go through closets and donate gently used clothing (coats are particularly useful this time of year) to a local shelter.
• Hold a book drive and ask coworkers, friends, neighbors, and family to donate books for kids that you can give to your local library, elementary school, or family shelter.
• Deliver cookies and treats to your local fire station, police department, and even the staff at your local hospital. After all, they’ll be working through the holiday.
• Don’t forget senior citizens! Volunteer time at your local senior citizens center or see if there is a giving tree specifically for the residents.

Do you have any special traditions like this in your family? What’s your favorite Christmas tradition?

Good morning Phoenix! It’s time for TBT! Here’s what happened on this date in history:
• 1903: Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first successful man-powered airplane flight, near Kitty Hawk, N.C. The craft is referred to as an airship and Orville and Wright are looking for buyers for their machine which is capable of speeds up to 10 mph.
• 1911: Eastern Oklahoma was under federal orders to enforce prohibition in the Indian area and the Osaga reservation. Shipments of liquor to Indians were forbidden and liquor control was put under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
• 1942: News is filtering out of German occupied Europe of atrocities and the mass executions of Jews by killing squads and in Poland, Jewish ghettoes were being "systematically emptied" except for the able-bodied who were being sent to labor camps.
• 1983: A terrorist car bomb planted by the IRA is exploded outside the Harrods Department store in Knightsbridge, central London killing 9 and injuring 75 other Christmas shoppers during the busiest time of the year. After the explosion panic and chaos caused other minor injuries as people panicked scared that more bombs may explode.
• 1987: The Simpsons featuring the Simpson Family including Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie debuts on Fox as a half-hour prime time show. The Simpsons has become the longest-running American sitcom and the longest-running American animated program. The program had originally been created as a series of shorts for The Tracey Ullman Show with the first showing on April 19, 1987.

Good afternoon Phoenix! It’s Hump Day, so another edition of Wacky Wednesdays.

Today – some interesting (read “strange”) Christmas traditions:
• Kentucky Fried Chicken: The celebration of Christmas in Asia usually involves imported western traditions, but in Japan those traditions have been shaped by commercial interests. The holiday places special emphasis on romantic love, so it's a day to spend with a sweetheart or spouse. Bakeries sell Christmas cakes as traditional sweetheart treats. And you might have to make reservations to get a table at KFC. Yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken. The fast food franchise let it be known that fried chicken is traditional for the Christmas feast. And so it is -in Japan.
• TV Yule Log: The Yule Log is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years. The Yule Log on TV is a relatively new tradition for those who have no fireplace to burn their own log. WPIX in New York has broadcast 24 hours of a burning fireplace on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day since 1966. The original film was shot at Gracie Mansion, but a carpet fire during the first filming made the mayor wary of a reshoot a few years later, so the loop seen now was filmed in California.
• Pickle Ornament: The story goes that when German families decorate the Christmas tree, the last ornament to be hung is the Christmas pickle -usually a blown glass ornament that may have been passed down through generations. It is tucked away in a hard-to-see spot (it is green, after all). The first child who finds the pickle on Christmas morning gets a special gift and good luck all the next year. The trouble with this legend is that people in Germany were unfamiliar with it. Glass tree ornaments were indeed made in Germany, in the shape of fruits and vegetables and other objects. These ornaments became very popular in America when F.W. Woolworth began importing them in the 1880s. An old German legend no doubt helped to sell more glass ornaments!

What interesting or strange Christmas traditions do you and/or your family have?

Good morning Phoenix! It’s time once again for Movie Mondays! Today’s little gem is an oldie, and I wonder if anyone has seen it, other than fans of Mystery Science Theater.

It’s simply called – wait for it – Santa Claus. It came out in 1959.

Plot: A terrible movie that swings back into good graces for going the extra mile. Like a dream induced by old fruitcake, Santa Claus follows the titular character as he battles Lucifer to win back the love of Mexican children. That it became one of the highlights of Mystery Science Theater 3000 should tell you something.

Trivia:
• This film did not receive a general release in the United States. The U.S. distributor, K. Gordon Murray, booked the film as a special children's matinée attraction in which the film would only be shown once or twice.
• While billed simply as "El Diablo" ("The Devil") in the credits, Pitch's character name in the original version is "Precio" ("Price").
• The movie was featured on Red Letter Media's Christmas episode of Best of the Worst.
• The slightly edited and dubbed version was released in the US by K.Gordon Murray in 1960. This version was also given the Mystery Science Theatre treatment.

Goofs:
• The text on the burning newspaper changes from English to Spanish between shots.
• Santa uses an "earscope" - an ear with a spinning radar-like screen behind it - to listen to three children whispering. But minutes earlier, he had used the exact same device as a "dreamscope" to tune in on a child's dream.
• When Santa Claus starts delivering presents he has to jump of a roof using a umbrella as a parachute, while he gently goes down a rope can be seen lowering him.
• The model of the B-36 heavy bomber on the rich boy's bedroom wall has its wings put on backwards.
Enjoy and have a fangtastic day!

Afternoon Phoenix! It's Sunday, and hope you are relaxing rather than running your butt off at the malls.

If you do have tired feet from shopping, baby yourself with this:
DIY Foot Soak:
Combine in large bowl:
1/2 cup baking soda
1/2 cup coarse sea salt
1 cup Epsom Salts
Stir to combine.

Add:
10 drops each of Spearmint and Peppermint essential oils
5 drops each of Tea Tree and Rosemary essential oils
Stir to combine.
Optional: If you have or can find whole leaf peppermint tea, pour in the contents of one tea bag.
Store in an airtight container.

Fill a bowl or some type of foot bath - dishpan, whatever you want to use - with warm water and a couple small scoops of the soak, add your feet and in a little while, you'll be sighing in contentment.
You're welcome.
Have a fantastic day my friends. <3  Brock V"""V

Alexandra Maguire - for putting up with my best friend

Good morning and TGIF Phoenix! Is your Christmas shopping done? If so, come do mine. LOL!
If not, here’s some Christmas humor to keep a smile on your face while you brave the stores this weekend:

• Why is Christmas just like a day at the office? You do all the work and the fat guy with the suit gets all the credit.
• What do you call a snowman in the tropics? Lost.
• Why doesn’t Santa have any children? He only comes one a year, and that’s down the chimney.
• Why did the snowman have a smile on his face? Because the snow blower was coming down the block.
• Why is Santa Claus always so happy? Because he knows where all the naughty girls live.
• How are a Christmas tree and a priest alike? They both have ornamental balls.

Smile, and have a fangtastic Friday my friends!

Good morning Phoenix! It’s time for TBT!
On this day in:
• 1951: Santa Claus and angels were banned in Hungary at Christmas this year. Pictures of tractors holding gifts would replace Santa Claus and his elves. It was not entirely clear why communist officials became so provoked at Saint Nick, but it seems that they could use some of his generosity.
• 1965: The Grateful Dead with Lead guitarist Jerry Garcia, play their first concert, at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco.
• 1967: A plane crash in Madison, Wisconsin, kills soul singer Otis Redding and members of the Bar-Kays band. The plane crashed into Lake Monona, several miles from the Madison airport.
• 1951: Santa Claus and angels were banned in Hungary at Christmas this year. Pictures of tractors holding gifts would replace Santa Claus and his elves. It was not entirely clear why communist officials became so provoked at Saint Nick, but it seems that they could use some of his generosity.
• 1981: A mysterious epidemic, consisting of two separate diseases, a form of pneumonia and skin cancer, has been found in 180 patients in 15 states since last July. It has claimed around 75 lives so far in the US and up to 92% of the victims are homosexual men. The unknown condition was eventually named as Aids (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus not only restricted to homosexuals and 4,000 were infected in the space of two years.

Good morning Phoenix and welcome to Movie Monday!
Today’s Christmas movie is an oldie – Friday after Next!

Plot:
Craig and Day Day have finally moved out of their parent’s houses and into their own crib. The cousins work nights at a local mall as security guards. When their house is robbed on Christmas Eve they team up to track him down.

Trivia:
• The toy store in the strip mall where Day-Day (Mike Epps) and Craig (Ice Cube) work, is called Toyz in the Hood which is a reference to the movie Boyz in the Hood (1991) which Ice Cube co-stared in.
• Was originally meant to be called "Final Friday", but the producers thought it too similar to Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), and didn't want to rule out a fourth film.
• This is the only Friday movie that did not have a Scarface (1983) reference.
• Chris Tucker was asked to reprise his role for the third film in the franchise, but rejected. Mike Epps then called up asking to reprise his role less than 1 hour later.
• After being robbed, Elroy yells "I started this barbecue s*** and this is the motherf***in' thanks I get?!" This is based on a line from Ice Cube's hit rap song "Hello" that goes "I started this gangsta s*** and this is the motherf***in' thanks I get").

Goofs:
• As Moly is slapping Mr Jones in his donut shop after being introduced to the boys, he says "buddy" but his lips are not moving.
• When Pinky's limo hits "Santa", he is thrown high in the air. As he lands, he's about to fall onto the rear of the cab. In the next cut, Santa begins rolling from the front of the limo until he falls of from the rear of the car.
• At the end of the movie, when the Santa thief is running from Craig and Day-Day, he jumps over a chain fence and then runs over the roof a car to get away from them. in the next shot when Craig and Day-Day jump the fence, there is a 4x4 there and no car.
• When Money Mike is first introduced, the camera pans from his feet up to his face. When it reaches his face, crew members can be briefly seen in the reflection of his glasses.
• Money Mike's pants were off when he fainted in the bathroom. When Damon wakes Money Mike up, Mike's pants are on.

Good morning Phoenix – and welcome to Sunday. We have today to finish enjoying the weekend, so let’s continue with the wild and crazy Christmas traditions.

In case you wondered how Santa was able to get all those gifts:
In 2005, Santa Claus topped a list of the world’s richest fictional people compiled by Forbes magazine, which estimated his net worth at infinity—followed by Daddy Warbucks (with $27.3 billion), Richie Rich (with $17 billion), and Lex Luther (with $10 billion).

On Christmas Eve, Santa Claus may ride a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer over North America, but during the night he frequently switches modes of transportation. Santa rides a kangaroo in Australia, he paddles a canoe in Hawaii, he rides a horse in the Netherlands, he travels by a donkey in Switzerland, and he is dropped from heaven on a golden cord into the Czech Republic.

Check out prankpack.com. They have boxes in Standard Size, Small Size, Bottle Size, Gift Card Size, Video Game Size, and Prank Holiday Cards.

The outside of the box has totally wacky packaging, such as the Crib Dribbler feeding system for a baby. It’s essentially like a giant hamster water bottle that could be hung on the inside of the crib for baby to take a drink whenever they wish. You then wrap and package your real gift inside. There’s also an ear wax candle kit, among many other bizarre ideas, such as mop heads to place on your pets like slippers so they can mop your floor.

On this date in history:
• 1967: Surgeons at the Groote Shur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, led by Dr. Christiaan Barnard, perform the first human heart transplant.

Good morning Phoenix - it's another Wacky Wednesday Hump Day!
This is for the smart asses that have friends that ask for insanely expensive gifts - how to give them what they want for cheap. *snickers* It will probably cut your Christmas shopping down for next year.

10 Cheap Punny Christmas Gifts

BB 12/1/15

Afternoon Phoenix! I thought you might like this joke - pretty appropriate since we're going into the Christmas season and kids asking for expensive gifts!

A farmer has three sons. One day, his oldest boy comes to him and pleads with him that he is graduating from school and would really like to get a car. His father says, "Son, come with me." He takes him to the barn and points to the farm tractor and says, "That tractor is needed here on the farm and I promise that as soon as it's paid for, we'll get you a car." The boy was not too happy but he did understand that situation and said, "Okay, Dad." A week later, his second son (10 years old) approaches him wanting a new two-wheel bicycle. Well, he gets the same excuse ... "as soon as that tractor is paid for..."

Shortly, a few days later, son no. 3, his youngest, comes bugging him for a tricycle. Again, 'ol Dad gives him the lecture about the tractor being paid for first.
While leaving the barn, the young boy, more than a little disgusted with the whole thing, sees a rooster mating with one of the hens and promptly goes over and kicks the rooster off the hens back, mumbling to himself the whole time.
His dad says, "Son, why on earth would you do something like that? He didn't do anything to you to deserve that!"
The little boy looks Dad right square in the eye and says, "Hey, nobody rides anything around here until that damn tractor is paid for."
Have a fangtastic day! <3 Brock V"""V
