We're going on the 18th

I thought about the 18th, but after the sickness of 06 cruise, I thought we had better go before. Just incase.

Do you have pictures?

TONS, but they are in a Scrap Book I made about the house.. We had a Live tree decorated in each room in different themes..

Luckily I had 4 people helping me decorate the house

We had a Santa room, a Lego room, a Snowman room, a Disney room, and the Parlor had the biggest tree all Victorian decorated

I think I will do this too. Where can I get the hands?

I think those are the Gloves that DCL CMs wear when they say Goodbye to you as they Kick You off the ship

DH gives ALL his employee a Party.. The Friday Before Christmas.. He also gives them a Cash bonus and as a Mini bonus.. I give them a $10 Mc Donalds or Dunkin Donuts Gift Card

I haven't even planned a Christmas party. We went to Mid-evil Times last year. It was fun but expensive. My husband invited all the guys, spouses, children and some cousins. Not sure why they brought cousins? I am thinking of skipping the party and giving each guy a couple hundred extra dollars with their bonus. When I say give, I mean take it off the money they owe me. I will also regift gift cards we recieve. Last year we had almost $1000 to Long Horn. They must have had a special on the cards or something. We also won a trip to the BCS bowl last yeat and DH regifted that before I could stop him. After he gave the trip away the promotions department told us we could have taken over $6000 cash. Then the guy he gave the trip to opened up the same business we have basically across the street from us and took two of our employees. It is ok though because one was stealing from us and my husband wouldn't believe me, the guy is gone and no more missing stuff.

It sounds absolutely beautiful. Did you plan each room yourself?

The house we live in used to be on the tour of homes. I guess people had different standards in the 70s. Now the only way it would be on the tour is a Halloween haunted tour.
When we moved in I found a lovey set of turquoise cornice boards that must have framed each window in the front of the house. They had three feet long peacocks on the fabric. It reminded me of something I would see at Graceland.

I've stayed away from the DIS at work for a couple of days and my reward?

Over a thousand posts behind!

You are going to have to use your lunch time more wisely the next couple of weeks.

 

[MrsMork]

Me too

I've had to turn my monitor so when someone comes in they can't see it very clearly

I keep the door to my office shut and LOCKED! Anyone with a key (the boss) can get in, but it takes minute and I can hear the keys.

We go to a place called Klee's Bar & Grill every year.. We did go to Charlie Browns but we had a Bad experience once and never went back..

Klee's has really good food and we have a Private Room upstairs ALL to Ourselves.. It is very nice..

Our first cruise was Disney's first time to go to Antiqua and San Juan.

How did we miss that one??? We did the 2004 to St Lucia and Antigua, but that was a 10 day to get us all the way down there. How did I miss the one going to San Juan?

Thank You..

I saw a Special on TV and each room was themed and that is where I got the idea..

We knew right away we needed a Disney one..

My Mother loves snowmen and let me borrow a Ton of hers so that was the Snowman room..

The Santas were from my MIL so that was a room full..

The Victorian room was My idea from the show and the fact we have a Victorian home in a Victorian town and it just seem like the thing to do..

 

[MrsMork]

OY!! But you are right, having one that is just "ours" is gonna be way kewl!! Especially since some of our groups are newbies, and won't be getting the CC one anyway. Besides we will need all the room for our PINS!!

Yep, several newbies in our group too. They will be thrilled to get their own lanyards!

Ladies...a nail question. Do any of you have acrlyics?? My nails are soft and during the current weather...constantly breaking. Are they worth it? Do they last? How long?

Tx

I had them for a couple of months once. Was not worth the time and trouble for me. But, as I have said before, I am pretty low maintenance. Lucky DrHug!!

 

[MrsMork]

OK, Island question...shopping actually. Which Island has the best price for cigarettes (DH..not me), and what does a carton usually run? And do they have all brands?

I was told that St. Martin was better for booze.

Jewerly question...I am not looking for gems..but is simple gold jewlery cheaper on the islands too?

Tx

As I recall St Marteen for cigarettes. (DD not me anymore)

Not sure about the booze we only bought it once, found it is as cheap in CA at Costco.

I don't own or buy much jewelery so I can't help you there either. (low maintanence! Lucky DrHug! He has bought me some nice pieces over the years though)
