Jen - how are you feeling?
I guess I will know later on if this is a true deal coming out or not. Question for everyone that celebrates Christmas regarding Santa...
My hubby and I can't decide what to do as far as the wrapping goes.
I grew up with stuff from my parents being wrapped but anything from Santa wasn't wrapped.
My hubby grew up with everything wrapped and labeled who it was from- parents or Santa, which is how he figured things out so young- mom's handwriting was the same as Santa's, Santa used the same gift wrap and labels as mom.
We just can't decide what to do.
What does everyone else do?
Okay, I just HAVE to share with my Dis-ers!!
Happy, happy me!!!
I called the airline about the flight schedule changes made and the person I spoke with was all "well, that isn't a valid connection and we'll have to change it" - which, of course, meant losing Disney time because we would arrive later.
So after waiting on hold for her to try and massage our flights so that we don't get in too much later, I ask her whether there is any possibility of changing our return times so that we can actually use the last day of our vacation (we were scheduled to leave at 7:30am as that was the latest time available for our fare when I originally booked). She says "oh, I see where your return flights were altered, so yes I can make changes to them. What would you like?" Here's me:"Ummm".... (inside, I'm hoping and praying for some
right about then).... "is there anything later?" She then proceeds to ask whether evening would be okay.... Me:
"Um, yes" - and voila - we now have a flight leaving at.....drumroll please.... 6:30PM.
Color me happy!!!
So, to those of you whose flights have changed, it might be worth it to call your airline and see if you can swing something more favorable!! I just managed to snag another half-day in the park for my family!!!
That makes sense, since he has to come down the fireplace and that's where the stockings are hung (with care!) At our house, we used to have a tree by the fireplace and one up in the living room but now we just have the tree in the LR, so having Santa leave presents by the fireplace makes good sense.
We're wondering whether Santa should set up the Wii the girls want. That TV is also by the fireplace, so wouldn't that be nice?
Awesome!!
One year Santa set up our DS's Geotrax set he received for Christmas. It took him HOURS!! to unwrap all the little ties around EACH train!! Poor Santa!!

Growing up Santa did not wrap my gifts!He had seven in my house, how could he? I love you Mom!
Santa wraps gifts here. We have always bought special paper for each child. I buy different tags too. I use to have my sister write the tags for me also. DH does it now in his best hand writing. He writes like a doctor.Of course a couple years later the movie Santa clause with Tim Allen came out, and yes Barney the elf was in it. OMG I said there he is!!!
He still is watching them. I told DD the other day Santa is on a budget this year, the economy is hurting him also you know.
She said she heard that also.

I was really hoping to do Santa this year, but we are just going to buy lots of Disney World goodies instead.

(Happened to me a while ago, so don't worry about my birthday in 10 days!) 
Just wait until you find yourself looking at the tail lights of the car as yourdrives away from Thanksgiving, going to her "home" that has nothing to do with you!
Santa didn't wrap our presents. That's how we knew it was from him.
One year Santa snuck into my room and put a Rainbow Brite doll in my bed. That is the best Christmas I remember.
We are not doing Santa this year. Belle has absolutely NO INTEREST in him at all. If it's not Mickey Mouse, she turns her nose up.
However, she is very into Baby Jesus. She calls him Baby Jee-zee (which sounds like a rapper to me) and everytime she see's a nativity scene she's runs to it in awe and gives the baby a kiss. Now that beats Santa excitement anyday in my book!
wow!! Totally weird~! I went ahead and let him open his Ripstick yesterday. His little friend brought his, so I knew he'd want it then--besides, it's suppose to rain & be yucky today!!!! Thank you everyone who sent bday wishes already!!! I am going to spend the day thinking about what a blessing he's been to me from day1 and not think about him getting older--I usually focus on that & get weepy!! I know the Lord doesn't want me to do that, so I am REALLY trying today!!!! I do feel the tears coming on though!!! Man, this is hard!!! 
Also, gifts from mom & dad are under the tree earlier, as I get them wrapped (as long as the shape isn't too obvious), but Santa doesn't bring gifts until Christmas Eve. I think the boys are at the stage of "As long as I still believe in Santa, he'll still bring me presents." Actually, I'm still at that stage too! 
He still brings gifts for me and DH.

Well, good morning friends!!! My little baby boy is 13 today
Well, Shelly, Jen, Remmy, and anyone else under the weather today, I am hoping (& praying for you!!) that you feel better super-quick!!! Hope you all have a great day!!!
Just wanted to send special birthday wishes to your dear son today!! I hope he has a great birthday!
We were flying out of Hancock until JetBlue just up and cancelled our direct flights (that we booked in May) to MCO (about a month and a half ago). Now we are driving an additional 1:15 to fly out of Rochester (but we got our direct flights back!). We were definitely bummed, but we now have a hotel room the night before about 3 miles from the airport. We can also leave our vehicle at the hotel while we're gone for no charge.
We are flying jet blue direct right now, I hope our flight doesnt get cancelled! It is so frustrating when airlines change everything around but at least you were able to change things and make them work for you. Now I just have to keep hoping that the weather cooperates, No Winter Storms Please!! 
I wish you all the best right now! Ya'll are such a wonderful bunch! We will have to keep an eye out for Tip Top when we ride Peter Pan!
