GOOD MORNIN...this is the month that friday the 13th falls on a Thursday...this is the day I have to get my Santa On....so it'll be short and sweet. in 2001 it was a warm one with a high of 10 celsius..it was a good day to buy Gold in 1984 at $326.00. and there was no snow. It looks like the republican Party in the U.S. is at it's MITTS end. Today is Count the La's in "Deck the Halls" Day, so you can tell everybody you know how many la's there are. Be careful: don't go too "FA" 1835: Phillips Brooks was born in Boston. He became an American Episcopal clergyman and produced ten books of sermons. But most remember the song he wrote in 1868 for the children of his Sunday School, "O Little Town of Bethlehem." Italo Marcioni patented the ice cream cone on this day in 1903. The ice cream cone was a great invention, giving people everywhere a handy thing for their ice cream to fall off of. LETS ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM. On this date in 1942 the Canadian Army Radio Show debuted on CBC RADIO..Among the cast of the musical review..Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster and it prompted a tour of entertaining the troops. 1843: A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, was first published. It sold 6,000 copies the first day and became one of the history's biggest best-sellers, yet it was priced so low Dickens received little or no royalties. GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE.
