Winnie the Pooh Day – January 18th
Have you ever wondered how Winnie the Pooh got his name? There really was a bear named Winnie (named after Winnipeg, Canada). This particular bear was the favorite of A.A. Milne’s son Christopher Robin, who named his own teddy bear Winnie the Pooh after him. Celebrate the day with these sites about A.A. Milne, Christopher Robin and the 100-Acre Wood (make sure to remember the honey!)

Christmas at the Capitol
the festive outfits in action
a little Winter Wonderland tap
to the California Raisins

This dance to In Christ Alone tires a person out...

I'm hiding at the piano wearing the white dress waiting... for...

one of the dances we did as part of Joyland Christmas

Written on American Airlines stationery, the five-page letter requested a meeting with President Nixon. Presley intended to present the President with a gift of a World War II-era pistol and obtain for himself the credentials of a federal agent in the war on drugs.
