  General Comment:I made a login just for this song. I'll explain some of this since I am sitting in Peoria right now!
  
  Lydia refers to Lydia Moss Bradley who founded the college that I am at right now (Bradley University).
  The cubs have a single A team here in Peoria. Emma Abbot was a famous opera singer from Peoria. About Santa i'm not sure, but there is a Festival of Lights every year at christmas, and there is a parade that goes with that.
  
  I hope that helps! I really like this song!
