Lynn and I want to wish one and all the blessings this Holiday Season has to offer so...Take some time this holiday season to hug your kids, hug your spouse, scratch your pet's ears, call an old friend, and share some quality time with your family. While we all get way too caught up in our hectic lives and work, the stuff we do away from work is what is truly important. Take some time to reflect on your blessings.
I consider myself very fortunate to have made all of your acquaintance. Pretty amazing to think we were brought together by a Mouse. Shared a great experience, cried with loss, shared accomplishments, and laughed together. Thanks.
So as the new year approaches remember..... don’t dream your life, live your dream.

Very nicely said. Made tears come to my eyes.


The reunions sound fun. Getting to meet Emma should be wonderful. I remember knowing where all of the mother's stations were at WDW when Noah was little. I also remember taking a nap in a rocking chair, in a nice quiet room after nursing Noah on a hot summer's day. Those mother's stations are very nice and provide a good buffer zone if you don't want to go back to your room for a break. I sent Robb out with his son (from his first marriage), while Noah and I dozed in the chair.

Celeste....tears came to my eyes too when I read it....

Mom and I too would like to wish all of our Dis Family Happy Holidays and we can't wait to see everyone on our reunion cruise....We are so thankful to have met everyone here on the DisBoards and thank you all so much for making the May Repo cruise a trip of a lifetime for Mom and I...we will never forget our incredible cruise and we will certainly never forget all the wonderful people we met...as Scott says...thanks to a Mouse.

Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

KEWL a reunion in the works.

I can't wait!!! I've got to start planning!!!

I love Christmas morning, just like a trip to WDW, I can’t sleep Christmas eve.

You feel that way too! That's the greatest feeling! I can still feel the excitement the way I did years ago when I was young... make that VERY YOUNG!!! Such a truly magical feeling! My parents created many wonderful love-filled childhood memories for us.

I consider myself very fortunate to have made all of your acquaintance. Pretty amazing to think we were brought together by a Mouse. Shared a great experience, cried with loss, shared accomplishments, and laughed together. Thanks.

What a great thought... well said! I could write a poem (but no time!!!)

So as the new year approaches remember..... don’t dream your life, live your dream.

What a great challenge!

While we all get way too caught up in our hectic lives and work, the stuff we do away from work is what is truly important. Take some time to reflect on your blessings.

That's the clincher for me... so true!

And... A BIG thanks to every one who pulled me through those rough days at work right before the cruise. I really didn't think I would ever make it to the port! I am teary-eyed just thinking of those days. Your paryers and notes absolutely, positively helped pull me through a very dark time.

How precious your lives are. Enjoy the gift of life. Live it to the fullest!

Merry Christmas!

Georgie + Joe

We are lookng forward to building even more wonderful memories with you in the years to come.

Since everyone is getting mushy, I guess I should chime in too! I first want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you all have a very happy and healthy new year.

This has been a crazy year for us but was highlighted by getting the best news we've ever received. I feel very fortunate to have met all of you on that amazing cruise which turned out to be a life-changing experience for us - not only for Emma coming into our lives but for the life-long friendships we developed with some of you.

I'm really looking forward to next Christmas when she can meet our table 9 family and our wonderful neighbors at table 12. I really miss you guys! Hopefully we will be able to see everyone else again on a reunion cruise in 2007!

Those of you up in the frozen north country, go make a snow angel for me, please! I was squeezing some oranges this morning and thought of you....LOL!!!! We're not doing the celebration until next week, because our kids will be all here then, so I have a few more days to hurry and finish some gifts, thank heaven... Why do I have to have the best ideas right at the last minute????

I am off to my brother's house to try and get all my squirmy nieces and nephews through church without a national disaster occurring. Then I get to mull some wine (for me and my sister in law, not for the kids). Now THAT's exciting. Fedex finally showed up with my new camera. And the Redskins are winning. So Christmas eve is working out.

Have a good whatever it is you happen to celebrate.

One question:

As Jiminy says:

Holiday wishes to all! Here in Ohio it will be a green and muddy Christmas, we did not sing this too much

Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to all my friends. It was a good year with a highlight being making long lasting friendships

I have a Sony Mavica CD-500 They do not make it any more I just get lucky with my shots. You should see the ones that did not turn out It takes a bit of patience to get good shots. I learned that the hard way

Happy Holidays!

We liked it too. Never read any of the books, but I just may have to now.

Tonight I watched Polar Express. Thought about Scott in one scene the conductor annouces they are in the North Pole "Latitude 66 degrees and 33 minutes"

Merry Christmas
