Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. ❄️

Merry Christmas! 🎄

Last week, I shared the final song from my Live at the High Noon series. If you haven’t checked it out yet, here’s a clip of my original song “That’s Life.”

I recently saw the 2024 film Red One.

I had hoped to watch it in the cinema last Christmas season, but it didn’t work out.

After waiting since LAST holiday season to watch it, I have to say that I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the film! 😃

It made me laugh a lot, and I appreciated how creative it was!

I had never seen a movie where Santa Claus was muscular and athletic! 🤣

I was really amused to see that Santa’s trick to fitting presents in his sack and bringing them down the chimney is to shrink them into tiny presents and then enlarge them once they are under the tree! 😄

I LOVED how dialogue was threaded throughout the film to communicate that we ALWAYS have a choice. We can choose the kind of person we want to be. We can CHOOSE the kind of impact we will have on others and in our world! ❤️

The film fittingly ended with Mariah Carey’s “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.:

Lyrics:

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town

He’s making a list
He’s checking it twice
He’s gonna find out
Who’s naughty or nice

Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town

He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town

The kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They’re gonna build a toy land
All around the Christmas tree

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why

Santa Claus (is comin’ to town)
Santa Claus (is comin’ to town)
Santa Claus is comin’
Santa Claus is comin’
Santa Claus is comin’
To town

Mariah has such an INCREDIBLE voice! ❤️

I LOVE how much ENERGY is in this song! 💚

How do you like the song?

I’ll leave you with my cover of “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas.” 🎅🏻

May you be well! ❤️💚
