Who said busy busy busy

But I better read it a dozen more times, editing all over the place so I have to read it again and again to see if my changes work or made it worse. Or maybe I should chuck it.

Good luck on wrapping up that manuscript and getting it sent to agents and editors. They need just a little more tweaking…. Goodbye, everyone! Sorry to lose and run, but I've got to get busy writing, bus-y, bus-y, bus-y!

Santa Claus : Too late? Why, nonsense. Ohh, don't cry, Karen. Frosty's not gone for good. You see, he was made out of Christmas snow, and Christmas snow can never disappear completely.

Oh, yet sometimes it goes away for almost a year at a time, and takes the form of spring and summer rain. But you can bet your boots that when a good, jolly December wind kisses it, it will turn into Christmas snow all over again. Karen : Yes, but He was my friend.

I want that hat, and I want it now! Santa Claus : If you so much as lay a finger on the brim, I will never bring you another Christmas present as long as you live. Professor Hinkle : [ traumatized ] Never? Professor Hinkle : No more Narrator : I suppose it all started with the snow. You see, it was a very special kind of snow. A snow that made the happy happier, and the giddy even giddier. A snow that'd make a homecoming homier, and natural enemies, friends, natural.

For it was the first snow of the season. And as any child can tell you, there's a certain magic that comes with the very first snow, especially when it falls on the day before Christmas. For when the first snow is also a Christmas snow Narrator : Well, something wonderful is bound to happen.

Traffic Cop : Aaall right, didn't you see that traffic light? Traffic Cop : Up there on that lamppost. Traffic Cop : Ohh, so you want a ticket, wise guy? Frosty : I'd love one. To the North Pole, please. Karen : We'd like a ticket to the North Pole, please. Ticket Master : [ awakens from his nap ] Oh! Wha - The North Pole? Ohh, yes, ma'am! Gotta make a change at Nanook of the North, though. Karen : Ohh, but Professor Hinkle : I must get that hat back!

Think nasty, think nasty, think nasty! Frosty : [ after he and Karen enter the greenhouse ] Phew! Stay in here much longer and I'll really make a splash in the world. Narrator : Hocus explained the situation to Santa, who as you know, speaks a fluent rabbit. And, when they didn't find Frosty and Karen on the hill, Santa followed Frosty's path in the snow to the greenhouse. But when they got inside, a terrible sight met their eyes.

Boy 1 : [ rolling a giant snowball to Karen ] We're building a snowman, Karen. You make the head. Karen : [ mounting another snowball on top of the first one ] The head is the most difficult part.

Ask anyone. Professor Hinkle : If that hat is magic, I want it back! Karen : But it's not yours anymore; you threw it away! Professor Hinkle : Don't talk back to your elders, you Professor Hinkle : And you, stay in there, or there'll be no carrots for Christmas!

Karen : You've got to excuse him, sir. You see, he just came to life, and he doesn't know much about such things. Traffic Cop : Oh, well, okay, if he just came to life. Traffic Cop : That silly snowman. Once they come to life, they don't know nothin'. Narrator : Frosty realized that Karen had to get out of that car as soon as possible.

So when the little freight train stopped to let an express full of happy Christmas travelers pass, Frosty took advantage of the opportunity and quickly got them all out. He was successful on Broadway. When he decided to give television a try, he stayed employed with the medium until his death.

And he left the legacy of Frosty the Snowman that has been a Christmas staple for almost 50 years. If you are searching for things to do this winter, add watching several episodes of Billy De Wolfe shows to your list and get to know this multi-talented man a bit better.

I had never heard of him but definitely would recognize him in Frosty. I have not seen it yet this year so that needs to change. I wonder how many people got their entertainment career started as an usher? I guess that will be something I will have to look into another day! Like Like. Will have to check some out especially the Doris Day ones. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account. You are commenting using your Twitter account.
