Can killer whales kiss under the mistletoe? They do if the mistletoe is made of mackerel. But Shamu isn't the only SeaWorld animal eagerly anticipating the holidays. During this holiday season, pilot whales and dolphins proudly display their Christmas stockings then playfully peek through decorated wreaths. Colorful flamingos parade alongside Santa's sleigh and curious penguins check out a snowman. The holiday festivities continue as OP Otter and his mischievous friends tear into holiday packages and stockings to find their special treats. Finally, a cockatoo puts the finishing touches on a festive tree. Have a holly, jolly Christmas, Lots of fun for you and me. I sure wish for lots of fish, Decorations on the tree. Have a holly, jolly Christmas, And when you walk down the street, Say "hello" to flamingos And everyone you meet. Oh ho, the mackerel, Hung where you can see. Shamu waits for you, Kiss him once for me. Have a holly jolly Christmas, And in case you didn't hear, Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year!

't, so that it is rather nervous. Pastor Jonathan Williams is the speaker at the end. I ripped this from my DV camera with VLC. Let me say this about the program: It is used to play almost any audio / video format out there big but there is a bear to do something else.
