Happydinks...welcome home to your new addition!

Since we are leaving soon for our other home, we wanted to set up our trees to enjoy and not dread having to put them up once we get back. So I thought I would share our Disney version tree with yall.

The kids say this is me putting up lights

 

[eliza61]

Ooh how pretty JT. I have the same "skills" at rigging up the lights.

JT...great looking tree!

We have a Disney tree too (one of many decorated trees throughout the house). We always go to the Christmas shop at DTD during our annual trips and pick out some ornaments. So this year we actually have to get a bigger tree to hold all the decorations.


Lori....Moose Spit soap? I think I'd have to draw the line on that one!


Horselover...very best wishes for a successful surgery and quick recovery. And some Moose Dust for that W/L to come through!



Well, Groupies....another December is quickly coming upon us. Decorations are up at WL/VWL and at least in that little corner of the world all is as it should be. We have many Groupie holiday trips already started or coming up in the next few weeks. I wish everyone safe travels and wonderful trips.

Eliza....very funny stuff as always. And I don't know if anything is stress free these days, but we all have a lot of blessings to be thankful for. I count the Groupies among mine.

 

[ransom]

JimmyTammy....what a great tree! We're working up to that with ours, but aren't quite there yet. We need more ornaments! We saw some nice Disney garland this time, but it was one of the many things we said we'd buy later in the trip and never got around to.

Eliza...thank you for the laugh.

Have a great holiday everyone!

 

[Muushka]

JT, wonderful tree. I'm sure your kids are glad that you are their dad.

Eliza, great list. My personal favorite

5. Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For 3 Weeks.
Once Everyone has Gotten Over Their Caffeine Addictions, Switch to Espresso

Speaking of coffee, my ESL Asian friend had a 'frother'. A little whippy thing that froths the milk. Well, I cared for her kitty while she went home and she got me a frother (and adorable Mickey and Minnie large stuffed animals, but they are the young, baby type).

So, as I sit here, sipping my French press coffee, with froth, with my Groupies, I, too, am thankful for all of you.
Or as Granny (what would we do without Granny???) said:

And I don't know if anything is stress free these days, but we all have a lot of blessings to be thankful for.
I count the Groupies among mine.

 

[loribell]

Eliza - Great as always!

JT - Great looking tree! Have a safe & fun trip.

Granny - Somewhere I saw that there was no real moose spit in it. I went to the website listed and they also have moose spit lip balm.

Muushka - Gotta agree with you, the groupies are one of the things I am thankful for!

If I had a Channuka bush...it would look like your disney tree!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

JT love the tree. I think I have that Goofy ornament. I have alot of Disney ornaments (that we ordered from somewhere but I can't remember the name of the company) so we have had a Disney tree for many years. The past couple of years though we have has a more lodgelike tree.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!! And I am thankful for all of you!!!! Groupies rock!!!!!!

 

[DisneyNutzy]

Eliza - Great list...had me laughing at my desk.

JT - Unfortunately I can't see your tree from work as most pics are blocked on my work computer I'll check them out from home tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the groupies.

 

[blossomz]

Eliza...I can always depend on you for a good laugh!!

Hi All,

We stayed at VWL last week and on the night we arrived they were putting up the christmas tree. Here's a shot of all the boxes containing the branches.



There are a few more pictures of them assembing the tree in that photo set on flickr.

 

[Muushka]

How cool is that??? A picture in WL that I have never seen!!

Can you tell I'm excited???

Can you tell I don't get out much????

Thanks, qtzar

PS Did you have a good time??

 

[thesupersmartguy]

[ransom]

Hi all remember me? I got down here at WDW on Sunday. Flight on time. Got luggage from airline. Went to Magical Express and waited less than 5 minutes to check in. Walked onto the bus. It was going to SSR, OKW and Port Orleans and Dixie Landings. First stop was SSR, where we are staying. Crowded here. Now I remember why I don't come busy times. LOL. I want to know who left the freezer open. It was 44 this morning with wind chill of 35 at 8 AM here. I got over to the Lodge today. I met Ranger Stan. He is doing well. He said he is planning on retiring if economy and " the lord willing and the creek don't rise." LOL Here are a few pics for you all.

I have not seen this before.

That is it for now. Everyone have a great and safe Thanksgiving. I count all you guys as one of my many blessings. We will be checking in at VWL on Saturday. Talk with you all later.
