Oh My Gosh, Here Comes Josh!

Apologies for taking so long to give you the latest scoop! Things are pretty hectic up here in the North Pole today...I have all the elves scrambling around, loading the sleigh for Saturday nights run, exercising the reindeer to make sure that they are ready to fly on the BIG night, the Mrs. had to sew up the back end of my jolly red suit (split the seams out from all those cookies and candies I ate this past couple of weeks...Food is the thing around here this time of year) and most importantly, I have a third of my Elves tallying up the votes that you folks are sending us for my 2005 Christmas Nice/Naughty List. I want to give you a BIG THANK YOU for helping me with this task again this year...don't know what I would do without you!

Now for the latest: Out of nowhere, every vote was starting to have the same name on it. That name was:

JOSH GROBAN

and from reading what his fans have written, he is one outstanding guy! Look at a few of the messages I have received about Josh:

Josh Groban is the NICEST person. He's always polite
and gracious when meeting his fans, media personnel, TV and Radio
personalities, his peers, and celebrities. He shakes everyone's hands,
tells them how nice it is to meet them, gives hugs, and I know from
experience. He initiated the Josh Groban Foundation to help charities around
the world. He's an ambassador for Nelson Mandela's Project 26664 to
fight AIDs in Africa. Visited an orphanage while on tour in S. Africa to
help feed, sang, and give his time to the children. He's been
Ambassador for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra to encourage music into
lives of children. He's given heart and soul and time to many charitable
causes; Live8, Save the Music, Susan Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
Carousel of Hope Ball, Tsunami Aid Relief, Habit for Humanity for
Katrina Relief, Jerry Lewis Telethon, PBS, We Are The Future, and many more.
He maintains a close relationship with members of his fan club through
posts and messages on the website, answering questions in the fan club
newsletter, allows hugs, blows kisses, attends Meet & Greets, and
encourages members to donate their skills and time to charity. I vote for
Josh Groban.

Pretty impressive Josh, with the votes that are coming in, you may just catch up to another sweetheart of the fans, Clay Aiken.

Well, I'm gonna go grab my pants from the Mrs., starting to feel a draft...be back soon,
