SIL likes home holidays. I would go out in a heartbeat, if I could talk everyone into it. One thing we do though, is have Jammie day for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Much more relaxed, and with my elastic sleep pants, I can eat more.!;)

We've spent some Christmases at WDW and a few in the Caribbean and it was beautiful and fun but odd not being home. Granted it's only me and my daughter during the holidays, it still was weird not waking up in my own bed Christmas morning.

I can't believe how much I already got done today! Mount laundry is conquered, I watched last night's OUAT, Monday weights done, 4 miles already walked, breakfast cooked (sausage and peppers salad, sans sausage LOL) and eaten and best of all the first 5 days of our trip planned. I love my dh but he had to go back to work

That is how I raised my kids though I rarely said no to anything my DD requested. Swear that girl was born a mature adult. ManChild here and there had to hear no but not too often. They learn quickly what the boundaries are and most of the time they'd stick between the the posts.

Yep, DD is like that, too...I swear she is the EASIEST kid on the planet. I could have 10 if they were all like her, but her brother kind of makes up for her.

I'm getting a real kick out this Pope. I missed the selfies, I would have enjoyed that.

He has pretty well tossed out all the old and ancient thought processes of follow orders don't think don't question obey. I hope he sticks around long enough to address the glass ceiling the church has for women. I can remember not long before he became Pope the commercials and marketing slogans of Catholics Come Home. It did nothing to bring the mass exodus of parishioners that had fled back. With this Pope it would have likely been more successful.

I often wonder while chuckling if the Priests that elected this Pope at the papal conclave have had those moments of Oh No, what did we do. I'm just so impressed with all the turn of events that are happening with him. He is great with kids as you said and all sorts of people, now governmental people you can tell he doesn't have that same comfort zone and that he likely doesn't care for all that.

It has all been so pleasant to watch.

I'm not even Catholic and I love this Pope! I love that he leads by example...he doesn't just tell you to take in refugees, he does it himself. And he does everything low key and low budget....he just LIVES the Bible instead of just preaching it. I think he's amazing and people from all walks of life like him. One of my Muslim friends posted today how much he likes the Pope and wished they had a similar leader for Islam. He just reaches where other Popes never bothered.

It's not that it's bad, it's just after you hit puberty if you're a woman, you start watching for the prince as well as the princess, sometimes more so (I got very excited at seeing Flynn Rider in Festival of Fantasy:inlove:. Anyway...). And in the original version, the prince has as much personality as a wet rag. Every other character in that movie has more personality. Including the very bad cat. In the new version, the prince has much more personality. Not to mention an actual name. Oh, and I like Cinderella better in the new one too.

My daughter loves both. I still love the old one...I love the music, etc. But I think the new one is brilliant.

What progressive inkling? I hear him talk a lot about helping others. Helping the poor. Talking a lot about children in vulnerable situations. To me that isn't progressive. That is just being a good human being.

Well, yes, but it seems that that is considered liberal now...conservative thinking now leans toward corporate greed and calling the poor "moochers".

Seeing you're Potter fans have you looked at maybe going over to UNI for a day or 2?
Click to expand...
I did. That was the original plan, but hubs and I decided to put that off until the next trip. The kids are still a bit too young to enjoy most of Universal and my DD especially doesn't do well with scary things, so they have only seen the first 3 movies. I don't want them spoilered. So we figure if we wait for a few years, they will enjoy it a whole lot more and then we can justify the expense. We'd have to get the 2 park tickets which are $150 each for one day. So we're going to wait and do it in about 5 years.

:confused: How in heck can they think peanut butter is savory?? I think it has a moderate to sweet taste (depending upon the brand, or if it's just pure, ground peanut butter). It's one of my absolutely favorite foods (even without chocolate)!! ;)

Oh, but it makes a fantastic sauce for pork or chicken skewers, or french fries, or a bread dip. If you mix peanut butter with water, heat it, add a splash or 2 of soy sauce, a bit of chili paste, and some garlic powder, it's delicious. Some people use coconut milk instead of water. Peanut butter is very versatile.
