Correct, it's your turn.

The dog's owner abandons Santa's Little Helper for finishing last in a greyhound race. Homer Simpson and his son Bart, who are at the race track in hope of winning some money for Christmas presents, see this and decide to adopt the dog.

Elvis Presley released two Christmas-themed albums. One Christmas song from the first album was released as a single in the UK, where it charted, but not in the US. Another song was released several years later, charting in both the UK and the US. Name either song.

Greetings from Honolulu! We made landfall after sailing five and a half days at 20 miles per hour. It sure is a long way! Weather turned warm after four days.

My favorite Elvis Christmas song is “Blue Christmas”.

Yes - "Blue Christmas" hit the US and UK charts in 1964. Earlier, "Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me)" had charted in the UK in 1957.

We normally think of the Hawaiian Islands of having 8 islands in the chain. However, the entire Hawaiian Jain extends from the Big Island of Hawaii in the Southeast corner and runs up to Midway and Kure Islaands in the Northwest.
Approximately how many islands are in the entire Hawaiian chain? Closest answer wins.
