I am SO in love with peppermint mocha's from Starbucks! I bought International Delight's Peppermint Mocha creamer the other day and it is to die for!!
Ugh, I read this week and meant to buy some at the grocery store yesterday. Totally forgot. Oh well, I will put it on the list for next week.
Love that you had such nice weather in GA for your decorating! We got to about 64 here in Maryland. And your house turned out beautiful as always! You'll always be one of the best house decorating DIS friends in my book!
Thank you! I wish it was still as warm here, but it has gotten cold.
I think that Mickey topper is so cute! I would love to have one, but my antenna disappears when I turn off the car! I noticed the picture of the Fox theater in Atlanta where the premiere of GWTW was held, pretty cool!
Thank you! I will be so sad if our next car doesn't have an antenna.
I probably won't put up decorations for a couple of weeks. Since it's just the two of us there is no rush to get things out. I haven't had the Christmas mood hit me yet.
My Christmas mood comes and goes -- I am actually glad we decorated when we did since I haven't been very motivated since then.
No tree for me this year. I'll be at Jill's for Christmas, and then we'll be in WDW until after the New Year festivities. When I come home, I'll be going straight back to work, so I made the executive decision just not to pull all the stuff out this year. The girls will only be here one time in December, anyway, and the boys don't care one way or the other about the tree, so I am safe. As long as there is food, the boys are good, and as long as there are presents, the girls are good.
You have all those great pictures from Disney when you need a Christmas decorating fix.
I did put the Christmas door hanging of Pooh and the gang on the driveway door. I'm bringing out my big Caroler Mickey, and he will sit in the middle of the table to bring Disney Christmas delight to all who enter. I'll wrap the gifts and light some scented candles for atmosphere, and that's about as Christmasy as we're getting this year.
Sounds perfect! Not to mention you will be headed to WDW which has the BEST decorations of all!
Your house looks great! I will enjoy looking at the trees of our DIS friends until we leave, and then I will be saturated with Christmas when we get to WDW.
Thank you! Oh, yes, nobody does Christmas like Disney!
I'm not a coffee drinker, but Drew is. For one of his gifts,
(I get small things and money for him) I'll have to give him some of that peppermint mocha creamer
Roxychica was talking about. He would like that, so thanks for the gift idea.
It does sound yummy, doesn't it?
Your decorations are beautiful Jackie! Wanna come do my house? I haven't even started yet and I am normally the weirdo who has stuff up before Thanksgiving. I don't know what my problem is.
I love the silver and glitter too.
Thank you! Have you decorated yet? I am glad we did it the week I was off, otherwise, we would still be undecorated.
I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. Did you try any new recipes this year? You always seem to come up with good stuff from the kitchen.
I did try a new corn recipe that was okay. I am always on the quest for the perfect corn recipe and just haven't found it yet. I made pumpkin pancakes for the first time this year for us to eat while we watched the parade. Those turned out really good!
Love your decorations!! The Disney ornaments are too cute!
Thank you!
My favorite seasonal Starbucks drink is the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

, but the Peppermint Mocha sounds good too!
The Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate sounds yummy, too! I need to try it!
I love the tree Jackie! The Disney touches are my favorite part and I spy a few that we own as well.

The photo of Connor and Chelsea on your mantle when they were little is ADORABLE!!!
Thank you! It's hard to wrap my mind around how much they have grown in the last few years.
Your house is so festive and cute, Jackie! Great job! I love that you dug out the old Christmas photos...how fun! Your new Christmas Mickey antenna topper is adorable too!!!
Thank you! Both the pictures and the antenna topper make me smile every time I see them.
Okay so I finally got caught up on the holiday updates here! Well, So I missed your "Happy Thanksgiving" so I'll say it now! and I loved looking at your tree and of course Mary Ellen's too!
Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you, too!
I also forgot to say how sweet and nostalgic your old christmas photos on the fridge are, love the magnets are also red and green...
Thanks! It was fun to do the fridge and you know I had to color coordinate the magnets. LOL!
We came home Saturday evening, and all day Sunday I cleaned cleaned cleaned, and decorated SOME of my house... I just love doing it, and it was my incentive b/c I wouldn't do it unless the house was clean!!! SO it also helped me from feeling the sway of the boat if I kept moving that whole time! We are getting our tree this weekend, and I am getting my cookie baking schedule in place too! We are going to start our gingerbread house this weekend as well. OH, and did I mention I have to oversee an entrance exam session for 600 8th graders on Saturday??

Shoot, if you didn't drink all the wine at Thanksgiving, send me some!!!! LOL!!!
You do sound like you need some wine! I am wiped out just reading about it all! How did the entrance exams go?
Okay, I totally need pictures of the gingerbread house! I want us to do one this year, and I need some ideas.

I love this! Very good idea to double-check before booking though!

I cannot wait to see your chair with the Creepy Clown Chair. Hopefully his brother will someday return too.
Well, I have changed resort plans once again. Surprised?
Love your Christmas decor! We are going to start with our tomorrow, I can't wait! I think I might have to copy your idea of a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha as well.
Thank you! I have been thoroughly enjoying all of your NYC at Christmas pics! You have been having so much fun!
