Dolly Parton
Not sure how many of you have ever seen the movie, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, but it is by far one of my favorite movies. Not only because it stars country music legend and gay icon, Dolly Parton, but because the nature of the story behind it. She had two of her most memorable songs debut on this movie, "Hard Candy Christmas" and "I Will Always Love You", both of which became her biggest hits. The movie also boasts a couple more songs that will rile anybody up. They are fun and energetic - you'd almost think it was a musical.Gid I love this song, have since I was a little gir...I am 33 now and its still my ultimate top favorite christmas song!! -
I think the song depicts all trials and tribulations that we go through..I know for me, it is from a house fire that we had back in July and though they said we would be back in our home for Christmas, thanks to the screwed up insurance company, it won't be until after Christmas..Also, because of the insurance company not living up to the policy that we bought, my daughter and I are not going to have much of a Christmas thanks to no money..But we are not going to let that get us down...-
We learn that Santa needs to visit 1,800 houses per second in order to deliver all of his toys, meaning he travels at 24,000 times the speed of sound. (Not that plausible, but who knows what kind of magic Santa is capable of?) One reality that is harder to explain away is the fact that by traveling so fast, the reindeer will absorb so much energy in flight that "they will burst into flame almost instantaneously." Oh, poor Rudolph! But who knows, maybe they wear some kind of flame-retardant suits that Mrs. Claus makes for them. - Jezebel
