I know everyone’s favorite Christmas movie is “National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.” But did you know that Aunt Bethany (played by Mae Questel) was also a voice actress famously known for Betty Boop, Olive Oyl and Minnie Mouse, among others in the 1930s and 1940s?

He came down your chimney talking trash; Dropping 3s on your entire family, while giving the sign for cash. You tried to stop him, but realized it was grim. So he kicked over the tree, hitting one more three. And smashed down the front door yelling GO BOSTON! #MerryChristmas

I will be wearing one of my favorite t-shirts this evening at the Lyon County/Floyd Central game at Wayland tonight to honor my friend “King” Kelly Coleman. It will commemorate his time with the Chicago Majors of the old American Basketball League (ABL).

My brother is deploying overseas soon, so tonight I gave him a “challenge” coin featuring a Shisa Lion commemorating the Battle of Okinawa. They are found everywhere in Okinawa and the open mouthed lions are believed to provide protection and ward off evil spirits.
