Rat Rockers, it turns out there is a Santa shortage this Christmas year! That’s right there is a high demand for Santa Claus all around the country. It’s not like the elves went on strike or anything like that but all around it looks like parents are going to be waiting in long lines to get their child on Santa’s lap to ask him what they want for Christmas and get that photo. We can’t have a shortage of jolly St.Nick.
There is an actual company called HireSanta that works to get Santas at events and malls all around and CBS News is reporting that Santas are needed up to 30% from last year and a huge 120% from the Covid-19 pandemic.
We need to get Santa back on the sleigh with Rodolph The Red Nose Reindeer guiding him around to all the places where he can tell us if we have been good or bad this year of 2022. Every year I always take joy in seeing families getting their pics taken with Santa Claus. Now I have not heard anything about a shortage of Mrs. Claus or Rudolph pals that are always riding with him.
Santa Claus always played a big part in my childhood and never stopped believing in my man. Though there was one Christmas in my house when he left a bunch of presents with my brother’s name and didn’t leave me anything to open.
I always wondered what happen there or maybe Santa just had too much Eggnog from the night before when he came down my chimney. But that does not change the fact we are in demand for Santa !! I would dress up but at that point, someone would say that’s the skinniest Santa I’ve ever seen.
Let’s get our Christmas spirit going! Grab a Santa suit and say Merry Christmas to all !!! – Gotts
Christmas Songs: 25 Hard Rock/Metal/Punk Tunes To Help Deck the Halls
Now that it’s finally December, it’s time to fully embrace Christmas songs. (Sure, some may have started long ago, but many like to wait until Thanksgiving is in the rearview.)
There are a surprising number of rock and roll Christmas songs. Many rockin’ holiday tunes tend to be covers, but many artists have tried to pen the next Christmas classic. If they don’t end up classics, they are often at least a lot of fun.
One of those songs is “The Magic of Christmas Day.” The song was written by Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider, but it was made famous when it was recorded by Celine Dion. Snider wrote the song at the request of his wife, Suzette. The song got into the hands of producer Ric Wake, a friend of Snider’s, who thought the song had massive potential.
Snider said in a Dec. 2020 interview in Ultimate Classic Rock that about five years after writing the song for his wife, he got a fateful call from Wake. The producer let him know that Celine Dion wanted to record the song.
It was perfect timing for Snider. He said was “broke and struggling” at the time he learned the pop icon decided to record his song. Considering Dion’s star power, Snider was thrilled she wanted to record the song at all. His big concern was making sure she didn’t know he was the one to write the song.
“I said, ‘Do not tell her that Satan wrote her Christmas song. Just put it on the f—in’ album,'” said Snider. (Fun fact: Due to the song’s success and the revenue it produced, Snider refers to her as “Saint Celine.”
To help fully get into the holiday spirit, consider adding these 25 songs to your Christmas playlist. They vary in subgenre from hard rock to metal to punk. Enjoy!
