This year, the North Pole finally got
internet access. Needless to say, Santa was not so jolly
when he learned about the naughty ways his favorite kids
have been using technology these days! And now, what
started out as a simple exercise in web surfing has
turned into a new life mission. Santa's taking his
Sleigh to Cyberspace and plans to "take back the web."
His goal - to show the world how to use power of the
internet for good - for goodness sake!
His first stop - Hollywood! According to Santa Claus,
there are a handful of celebrities who "use their
celebrity for good - just for goodness sake." And that,
he says "makes them great role models for the whole
world." So now, for the first time in history, Santa has
decided to share with the world his picks for the Top
Ten Celebrity "Nice" List of 2004.
According to Santa, all Ten were chosen for being
"incredibly gifted souls who are "good" through and
through." They're all known in the North Pole as being
particularly "Elfish" - that's the "opposite of
Selfish." "It's easy to be good when you want
something," notes Santa, "but these kids have made it to
the top and still they generously give back to the world
a thousandfold." And that, says Santa, "is what makes
them so very Nice."
| Here,
without further ado, is Santa’s First Annual Celebrity Nice
List – coming to you straight from Santa’s New Online Workshop
at Jinglegram.com. |

Paul
Newman. Paul,
just like Santa Claus, you get better with age. I can't
even begin to list all the things that make you one of
the most outstanding role models of our time. Also,
Paul: Mrs. Claus thinks you're very handsome. But I always
tell her, "Why fool around with hamburger when you've
got steak at home!" Ho ho ho! |

Julia
Roberts. Ah,
Julia, if I wasn't already happily married to Mrs. Claus...
ho ho, just joking! They couldn't have cast Erin Brockovitch
better! A woman with brains and beauty, making a powerful
difference in the world. That's Julia, through and through!
Santa loves you for your tender heart and giving nature.
I know you'll make a wonderful mommy to those sweet, newborn
twins. |

Tom
Hanks. If there's
anyone qualified to make a movie about Christmas Magic,
it's you, Mr. Hanks. We plan to show The North Pole Express
on December 26th, at the Elftown Snowmobile Drive-In.
Wish you could be there! Tom, there's something of the
little boy inside of you, and he shines through for the
world to see! (I'm not just saying that because "Big"
is one of my favorite movies.) |

Doug
Flutie. Hey
Doug, can you do me a favor? Buff the Heisman Trophy and
leave it out where I can see it on Christmas Eve. I like
to take a little break and pretend I'm a football star!
See, even Santa has dreams. Doug, no matter what team
you're on, I'm rooting for you all the way. In my Jinglegram
to you I tell you all the ways that you make a wonderful
father and exemplary citizen. |

Rudy
Giuliani. "ROO-dee!
ROO-dee!" (That's me cheering for you!) Unless they
live in Antarctica (and I know some folks who do), I don't
have to tell the world why this RUDOLPH, HAS Gone Down
in History as one of the greatest leaders of our time.
For my humble letter of thanks for your unmatched contributions
to society. |

6. |
 |
Oprah
Winfrey. A Goddess
among women, an icon of class, poise and benevolence:
the beautiful Oprah Winfrey! Mrs. Claus and I never miss
the Favorite Things episode of your show. We can't thank
you enough for your generosity toward needy children of
the world. I try my best to spread love and cheer but
you've gone above and beyond the call! Thank you Oprah! |
|
7. |
 |
Regis
and Kelly. It's
true, what they say: "When you're smiling, the whole
world smiles with you!" Regis, the world will surely
be smiling at the sound of your melodious voice doing
American Music Classics. You two, you're like me and Mrs.
Claus! A dynamic duo that brings sparkle and style to
millions of homes every day. (OK, me and Mrs. Claus don't
do that but you know what I mean.) |
|
8. |
 |
Angelina
Jolie. A wild
child with a heart of gold- Angelina, I think you may be
one of the most misunderstood women on the planet. It looks
to Santa like you've been having an intense love affair
-- with humanity! Our beautiful earth has you to thank for
your countless contributions that make this a better place
for our children. Angelina- you're the angel at the top
of my Christmas Tree! |
|
9. |
 |
Ellen
Degeneres. Ellen,
you're Santa's funny little pixie! I know your heart goes
out to the brave men and women of the U.S. Military, and
that makes Santa so happy! I can't thank you enough for
ALL your incredible kind acts. The reindeer have asked me
to help them write you fan letters because they know what
an animal lover you are, too! |
|
10. |
 |
Barry
Manilow. Some
have said Barry White makes the best music for good lovin'.
But the Barry that keeps the spark alive between Mrs. C
and me on those frosty North Pole nights is Manilow. Barry
Manilow... the Man... the Myth... the Legend!
