Glad you got a little break - the candlelight processional sounds so nice - I really want to see it sometime!

We're seeing it a week from Saturday and I'm SOOOO excited! We've never seen it before either but our friends in Orlando (Hey HoagiePie!!!) were able to score a dinner package at Germany and then seating at the show.....and after the show another friend of ours who works at Epcot and is actually IN the processional got us VIP seats for Illuminations. Epcot is not even usually my favorite of the WDW parks....but I expect it to be a highlight this year!!!

Hi Eveyrone. I have been offline for a couple of days because we took a mini vaction of sorts. The kids were taking part in a simulated city which is the culimination of weeks of economics study. The town with the city in it is about an hour and a half from here so and they had to be there two days in a row. So, Dave took vacation days and we all went and stayed in a hotel overnight. Dave and I got to Christmas/birthday shop and just relax together while the kids did their simulation.

My kids are pretty tough to shop for this year (both have birthdays Christmas week so we have extra to get). They are such abnormal little beings Here is Rio's letter to Santa:

Dear Santa,
I usually like the things you think of for me that I never even knew I wanted so that would be best. But Mommy says I really should give you some ideas. Mostly I want a dart borad and CDs. Here are CDs I want:
Cabaret
Nickelback
Hairspray
Grease Broadway
Grease Movie
Maroon 5
Wicked
Have a good month with the elves
Rio

Yeah, that's what every little boy who is about to turn 9 wants! And those are the ONLY things he has thought to ask for from anyone at all Marika is not any easier. The only things she can think of that she really wants are sealing wax and a seal and a calligraphy set I DID manage to find a stationary shop in Portsmouth which still carries sealing wax and seals. Luckily Santa knows these kids will love a karaoke machine (they adore karaoke on DCL) and just don't know you can get them to ask for one. I am a bit worried becuase it will be the first time we ever give them one gift frm Santa to share (instead of one each) but I think they will be fine with that and they will have their stockings (yep, some of Rio's CDs will be in there). But now I am done with shopping (and we had to buy for both sets of grandparents who just sent $$ and asked me to buy) except for picking up giftcards. I need mini golf and movie gift cards for Rio (pretty normal) and Land's end and the fancy cheese shop for Marika (yes, CHEESE--I'm tellin' ya my kids are just a bit off kilter )

Hadley- Love it!

I'm busy with work, DH is busy with work and school (I think he's halfway through his Capstone class), and kiddo is over the moon about getting about 2 inches of snow today. We packed her off with snow boots, mittens, hat, etc., to day care. I wonder if she'll get to use them!

As for shopping... yeah... I think I'm done. DH got a pair of speakers, and I think he'll get an XBox 360 when those go on sale at some point. He wants his class(es) to be over before he gets that. He's rather hard to shop for, too.

Kiddo has her birthday and Xmas, too. I know I have a closet full of stuff to wrap. I suggested that DH get her the jumping toy he's seen on tv, and he thinks that'll work. I didn't mention to him that he has her birthday AND Xmas to buy for... I wonder if he'll remember? Seeing his birthday is close after Xmas, I'll find it hilarious if he doesn't.

I think I might get them the Rock Band set they played with at Circuit City. I have no idea what that is, but DH said they had a blast with it. I'll google it when I get a chance.

Oh and just wondering what everybody's occupation is? Have you already asked that? I stay home with my boys, take a couple college classes here and there and I work part time as a merchandiser with American Greetings.

I'm a merchandiser too. I do Sony DVDs, Tracfone, and Anagram balloons. It's a fun way to make extra money.

I am a registered nurse on a med/surg floor, graduated nursing school in May 2006, and I worked the past 2 nights hence the reason I saw NO ADS LOL
Dh is a data center supervisor for Marshall's. Unfortunately we work opposite schedules

We plan to start decorating for xmas TOMORROW, I am so excited , this is our first year in our new home, anyone have plans for this weekend?

We (EllaEnchanted and I) are in NE PA in the Pocono Mt. ski country, I hate snow where are you???

That is so funny! Love the letter.

Oh and I am SO into deals on the internet. I am the internet queen as my friends call me. Ha. Since you were talking about Christmas.. have any of you heard of http://www.restaurant.com I LOVE this site. They have restaurant gift certs. for $25. Only you pay less then that. I got a couple for $4 each!! You print the certificates right from your computer which is awesome! If any of you want to do it let me know and I have coupon codes so you save money.

I work for a financial company as a stock plan admin. If you work for a company that gives you stock options or company stock then I might be the guy handling your account. There are only a handfull of companies that do what we do.

We live in Upper Chichester Township in Delaware County about 5 minutes from the Delaware state line. No snow here either it can wait until after Dec. 28th when we leave for one night in WDW and than onto the Magic for a New Year's cruise

 

[scoutsmom99]

For those of you who have cruised before when we cross various time zones do we change our clocks or do we stick to a standard ship time when we cruise?

... have any of you heard of http://www.restaurant.com I LOVE this site. They have restaurant gift certs. for $25. Only you pay less then that. I got a couple for $4 each!!

I discovered this site thanks to the DIS Budget Board a couple of weeks ago!!! Tonya, you're right. It's a GREAT deal!! I'm looking forward to Saturday when it will be a new month with new supplies of GC's. They had a Thanksgiving promo code last week for an ADDITIONAL 60% off!!! I got something like $70 in GC's for less than $12!!! I even grabbed one for a restaurant in Kansas City area for my brother and his family to tuck inside their Christmas gift.

We will move to the local Time Zone when we cross "the line".

Hadley, your kids are great! The kicker for me was Marika asking for cheese!

DEB and I are working on plans for a New Years Eve cruise for '09 into '10. Please take a ton of pix. and post them so I can show her. We own a parcel of land in Laural DE. where we plan to build our retirement home in a few years. "lower slower Del." they call it

I have been trying to get some of our fellow cruisers from the May repo cruise to join us on this one as well.

Hi everybody. I need help/advice on explaining Christmas to my DS(3). My wife and I are not sure about how to handle the Santa Clause issue. My wife and I never grew up believing in Santa Clause. In both our families, Santa Clause was just part of the Christmas decoration, kind of like ghosts and witches on Halloween. But sometimes I think that maybe I missed out on some of the Christmas fun by not believing in Santa Clause.

TIA...

Michael

Shouldn't a New Year's cruise include more fireworks??!!!!
