I had the pleasure of visiting the children of Marked Tree Elementary in Arkansas a few days ago. They had no idea Santa would be arriving, and when I started shaking my jinglebells and loudly proclaiming "Merry Christmas Everyone! I heard that the smartest and most wonderful kids in the world live in Marked Tree Arkansas!" and they went into spasms of delight, yelling their salutations at me. It was, well...GREAT.
