Christmas Eve is the evening before Christmas. Christmas is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Christ. Christmas Eve is marked with a lot of excitement and mirth as people across the globe; eagerly look forward to celebrate this day joyfully. Children eagerly await the gifts that are due from Santa Claus for that year while for adults; Christmas is certainly the best time to bond with family and friends. On Christmas Eve, people usually light bonfires, sing Christmas carols and hymns together to invoke the blessings of Christ. Christmas Eve is as fun-filled and exciting as Christmas, the day that each Christian looks forward to, is hardly some hours away. Eve. Christmas Eve is a great time to spend some happy moments with your family and have a memorable time with them.

Christmas is such a huge holiday that it's nice not to take it too seriously once in a while. Christmas novelty songs help us do this, if only for a fleeting moment.

Many holiday-themed novelty songs have become gigantic hits in their own right. One such song, "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," has even made a whole career for Dr. Elmo, who released it over 30 years ago. It's the song that just keeps on giving for Elmo Shropshire in the form of fat royalty checks.

We all have our favorite novelty holiday songs and for this list I've included the 10 that popped into my head first. Please let us know what your favorite holiday novelty song is in the comments and I hope you include a lot of laughter in your celebrations this year!

Whales live in all four oceans, but different species live in different areas. There are two whale suborders: baleen whales and toothed whales. Baleen whales have a comb-like baleen on their upper jaw; it filters plankton, small fish, and crustaceans. Toothed whales have teeth, and they eat fish and squid, as well as other animals and marine animals. Whales are mammals, meaning they have lungs. Baleen whales have two blowholes, while toothed whales have one. Blowholes are at the top of whale's heads, which allows them to stay submerged while still breathing. Whales can sleep deeper underwater, but they eventually need to come to the surface to breathe. Besides coming up for air, many whales jump out of the water—known as breaching—and also bring their tails above the water and slap the surface.
