Christmas

by Gumby Girl, 8yo

Christmas, Christmas, the best time of year
Let's give Christmas a jolly old cheer

Christmas means dolls and books and more
Your parents will buy you some toys at the store

They'll wrap them up with a tight red bow
and don't worry if the days go by slow

Because on the twenty-fifth
Santa will slide down the chimney and leave you a gift.

As a lifetime fan of PBS (the station this time, not paperbackswap LOL), I have always loved Jack Horheimer's Star Gazer 5 Minute updates on what's interesting in the sky that week.

If you are not familiar with the program, Star Gazer is the world's only weekly television series on naked eye astronomy. Each weekly episode features selected objects for naked eye viewing for the following week.

Because it is only 5 minutes long, however, it often does not show up in programming schedules, making it very difficult to catch.

After visiting the Star Gazer website however, I found that they are videocasting the episodes as well! You can subscribe for itunes here, or play them with Realplayer from here.

Keep looking up!
