well I never
I thought that I was in the clear as I don’t like mince pies or Christmas pudding, but you got me on gluttony!

Today I learned that in the 1960s Mattel decided that their Skipper doll (Barbie's little sister) should grow up. They created a doll that grew breasts when her arm was squeezed!

Today I learned that Big Thunder Mountain is good for helping a person pass kidney stones!

It was published in a 2016 medical journal that a doctor found his patients were passing stones while riding it, so asked Disney if he could run an experiment, so used a 3D model of a kidney and found that when riding big thunder, a stone passed 70% of the time. Space Mountain and the Rock’n’rollercoaster failed to cause the same result.

Today (at the grand old age of 48) I learned that Santa is also known as Kris Kringle.

Friends thought I was having them on. I honestly didn't know this
