I have been having some challenges with this blog.  The location where this blog is hosted has been experiencing some technical difficulties.  They lost a router and the replacement has not worked up to par since.  The majority of the sites the host serves now work great but anything running on WordPress has been a bit slow.

They are trying to figure out this mystery, in the mean time please be patient as this blog loads.

Thanks

Ahh…I remember when I was a kid during this time of the year.  There was great anticipation for Christmas.  The snow would make the landscape a winter wonderland and everything would be great…

That is until the Scary Christmas Shows began showing up on TV.

The most frightening of them all was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer created in stop motion animation. Every year…every single year, since 1964 they have shown this terrifying TV special. I know most of you think of this show as a cute if not quirky rendition of the classic song by Johnny Marks and the original 1939 poem by Robert May.

But there are kids the world over that cower in fear when they realize that their parents are going to watch this horror flick.  The frightening Bumble also known as the Abominable Snow Monster of the North has scared me more times than I would like to admit.  His incredible strength, gnashing teeth and psycho eyes…..brrrr…..a shiver has just run up my spine…..yes he is scary indeed.  This creature, probably a Yeti, chases anyone and everyone and probably eats his prey.

Near the end of the show there is the misfit toy by the name of Charlie-in-the-box.  Charlie guards the Island of Misfit Toys.  This Jack-in-the-boxesque entity pops out unexpectedly as visitors approach.  His eyes hold a bit of crazy similar to Bumble’s eyes.

Fortunately the show has a happy ending otherwise it would be completely unbearable.
