TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: A group of skiing Santa’s hit the slopes for a great cause

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: A group of skiing Santa’s hit the slopes for a great cause

Santa make kids all around the world smile every year by bringing presents to their home. And sometimes people dress up as Santa to help others on their own. Santa’s kindness spreads far and wide.

Like this group of 230 people up in Maine who held their annual charity every last weekend at Sunday River Ski Resort after missing it last year because of covid. They all get together in Santa suits to ski and snowboard down the mountain raising thousands of dollars for a group called The River Fund. All to support local education programs and recreation in the area.

This must’ve been quite the Après Ski party with all those Santa’s too.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What are baby spiders called?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What are baby spiders called?

I don’t know about you but I always think of spiders full grown or in eggs. Never as babies. But obviously they have to grow up into adult spiders. So what does one call a baby spider?

The official name for spiders that have yet to reach maturity yet is “spinderlings”. How adorable! Maybe that will help cure your fear of spiders, a cute name.

Another crazy fact is that they are born in groups of thousands. Which I don’t want to be anywhere near when that happens. No matter how cute their name is.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD! Hero stray dog saves family from house fire, reunites with his own

A family in Virginia were asleep in their home when they were woken up by a stray dog outside barking and barking. When they went to see what was going on they realized a fire has started in a section of the home and that’s what he was barking at.

Luckily they were able to get out of the house and call the fire department. After the fire was out and everyone was safe the firefighters took the stray dog and posted a photo asking if anyone knew the owners. Miraculously the dog’s family saw the post and were reunited with him!

A great story all around.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is the Grinch green?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is the Grinch green?

You’ve probably started watching Christmas movies already… have you got to The Grinch yet? One mystery about him… why is he green?

The director of the original animated special How The Grinch Stole Christmas! back in 1966 was trying to figure out what color the Grinch should be when we was making the film. At the time he was driving an ugly green rental car and then it hit him… that’s exactly the color this character of The Grinch should be. So that’s what he did.
