Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey, they're Johnny Mack with five good
news Christmas stories. Good news if you're a fan of
John Carpenter's The Thing. Some fans are campaigning to get
John Carpenter's The Thing named a Christmas classic, much like
the famous classic Christmas movie Die Hoard If you've never
seen it, It's based on John W. Campbell's nineteen thirty
eight novella Who Goes There. The film follows a group
of Antarctic researchers as they encounter a malevolent, shape shifting
alien creature. Fans are nagging the IMDb and Letterbox to
declare it a Christmas movie. The petition reads, think about it.
The weather outside is frightful, and the fire is so delightful,
no one has a place to go, and it stars
Santa Claus kinda. They're hoping to get ten thousand signatures,
which will then be sent to the IMDb and the
Letterbox Content team, requesting that they officially reclassify the film
as a Christmas classic. The campaign is dubbed Thing Miss.
In a press release, they say, if Die Hard can
become a Christmas classic, then so can The Thing. Some
pets had a fun day, the Grand Central Mall hosts
that it's annual Pet Night with Santa Claus Sanna. It's
very busy this time of year, does a lot of appearances.
Santa gave pet owners an opportunity to get holiday pictures
with their furry friends. Santa said, well, they're fur babies.
We want to include the entire family. Jeanie is comparently
her title is Santa's manager. Right now we know who
is managing Santa's career. She's worked with Santa for twenty
five years. Jeanie said, it's always a big hit, and
we always have people asking from day one when we
open for every season, what night is Pet Night. It's
always a big hit. Santa said, I've already had a
couple of visits from some puppies, which was nice. We
had a big fluffy kitten come in and it was awesome.
I love pets. I've got ton of pets. I mean,
obviously I have my reindeer, but I've got a few
puppies too. Wow, we're learning a lot about Santa. I
didn't know Santa had puppies. One of the moms came
by with her teenagers and said it was a little
hectic at first, but when they sat down, I think
it went pretty good. They love Sanna and the photos
turned out pretty good. There's another Pet Night coming up
December fourteenth. Sanna will be back at the Grand Central Mall.
You'll find the Grand Central Mall in Vienna, West Virginia. Now,
if you can't wait, today, Santa will be hosting Pet
Photo Day at the Clark County Humane Society. This time
Missus Claus is coming along. No appointment needed. Proceeds help
local animals. Sanna will be there from one to four.
All pets and people are welcome. They do you ask
for a ten dollars sitting fee per animal. Prints of
the pictures will be available for purchase. Digital images will
be available by email or on a flash drive. The
event is, of course, a fundraiser for the shelter. One
hundred percent of the proceeds go directly to the animals.
McDonald's has introduced the Grinch Meal. Yeah, McDonald's has parted
with the Grinch. I'm not sure they thought that through.
The Grinch Meal includes the Dill pickle mixshaker fries. I
am interested a choice of either a big Mac or
ten piece chicken McNuggets, A medium drink, a pair of
holiday themed Grinch socks, and one of four to designs.
Last year, they had introduced the Grinch meal overseas. The Canadians, Ireland,
Australian in the UK had it. American fans are like, hey,
what about us? Well, the limited time meal is now
available at participating McDonald's. Some other holiday fast food for you.
Chick fil A has launched a new holiday twenty twenty
five collection online, and a participating restaurant, Starbucks is collaborating
with Hello. Kitty Burger King has introduced the twenty twenty
five bk Advent Calendar, which sold out in less than
an hour. Wow KFC unveiled its holiday bucket collection, and
Raising Canes has rolled out limited time holiday ornaments, apparel
and plush toys through the Raising Canes online gear shop.
Who Knew all right, Johnny Mack is here to help
you come up with gift ideas if you can't come
up with something on your own. Today's theme is for
the friend who treats their pantry like a personality. How
about some fancy Italian tomatoes that basically require a soft
focus filter. That's right, it's the cussa Marazzo Sun Marozzo
dop appealed tomatoes a five hundred gram can. We're told
these are proper tomatoes trademark. Great for that one friend
who won't shut up about low and slow sauce. That
are running around seven to nine dollars per can. You
can find them on Yemmy, Bizarre or similar importers. Cassamarazzo
also has yellow Erkolano tomatoes in brine. Yeah, these are
bright yellow, mild and a bit sweet, but they look
ridiculous in a good way. And salads on pizza are
just jumped on piazza. Those are any fifteen to eighteen
dollars a jar. You can find that at the Milk
Street store. Maybe some liquid gold, the Capazana extra virgin
olive oil out of Tuscany. It's peppery green and fancy enough.
They really shouldn't cook with it. We're told this oil
is bread dipping and salad finishing only they're running a
thirty eight to forty five dollars per bottle. Switching gears
ap about Maurice Sharp's pineapple Habanaro hot sauce. That's right,
sweet pineapple proper heat from hob and Arrows. Perfect for tacos, eggs,
or the relative who insists brunch needs a little something.
It'll run you seven e eight bucks for a five
ounce bottle. You can find it on Amazon or in
your local hot sauce shop. And getting a little less spicy,
how about some Tapho Losses biscuits. Yes, these are giant
toffee and date biscuits, half covered in chocolate and it's
all very London and Christmas tin it screams, I spent
too much on cookies and I don't regret it. How
much is too much Johnny Mack forty five to fifty
bucks once you factor in the import charges, But you'll
find that at fort Numbanmason dot com and THO. Those
are your five good News Christmas stories for today. Have
a good day.
