We owe a debt of gratitude to Washington Irving, the author more widely remembered for giving the world “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” for concocting a better way for Santa to deliver presents than slipping through a window. It was in Irving’s satirical short story from 1812, called “Knickerbocker’s History of New York,” where Saint Nick is first described as “rattl[ing] down the chimney” to “bring his yearly presents to children.” |

Santa gets billions of letters every year from children all over the world, but if you thought most of them were coming from the United States, you would be wrong. The country sending the most paper mail to Santa every holiday season, according to statistical data, is none other than France. That’s right, French boys and girls are sending a staggering 1.7 million letters to Jolly Old Saint Nick, compared to 1.35 million from Canada and just over a million letters from the United States. |

Before you get sad that Iceland never gets a visit from St. Nick, they actually may have it better than the rest of us. Instead of Santa Claus, they have 13 “Yule Lads,” who are like mischievous mini-versions of Santa, with names like Bowl Licker, Sausage Swiper, Pot Scraper, and Spoon Licker. One of them visits Icelandic children every day between Dec. 11 and Jan. 6, leaving gifts in their shoes (assuming they’ve been well behaved). |

The original B-2 aircraft cost was projected to be $737 million per aircraft, but when coupled with maintenance and support, each aircraft was valued at $2.1 billion. |

Because of creeping costs, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the original plan of producing 132 B2 bombers was reduced to 21. |

It's the only acknowledged stealth bomber in the world, and it will continue to be seen (or not) in the skies for decades to come. |

1969 Pink, Rear-Loading Beach Bomb – $150,000 Widely heralded as the most collectible Hot Wheels extant, the rear-loading Beach Bomb is a prototype that for years remained in the possession of a Mattel employee. Unique in that its surfboards load through the rear window, the Beach Bomb proved to be too narrow and top-heavy, so the design was replaced with a slightly different version that featured side-mounted surfboards and a full-length plastic sunroof for a lower center of gravity. Although a few additional copies in different colors managed to slip into public hands, only two Pink versions are known to exist. This is the second most valuable Hot Wheels car: https://i.postimg.cc/rsKTYLzr/BBRgFvq.jpg 1968 Over Chrome Camaro – $25,000 While there are many lime or "antifreeze" Hot Wheels, this is a rare antifreeze-over-chrome-finish Camaro used for advertising purposes. Made the same way as a Christmas ornament, the Camaro showed up in commercials with higher production values, and only 20 Hot Wheels cars with this special finish are known to exist. |
