I need to marry someone foreign. I should get on that.

Happy Christmas.

Why do you need it to be someone foreign?

 

[Songbird76]

You cant rent one for a day?

Wouldn't do me much good. I'd need someone to come regularly. My mom cleaned houses for a living and when she got cancer I took over her business for a while until I graduated from college. When you clean for a living, the last thing you want to do when you get home is more cleaning.

Just turned it on. The only singer decent was Reba and how come all annoucers seem fake?

The "parade" was ok and I think that tori kelly sounded ok too. The parade just isn't as good as it used to be, I liked when they actually showed parts of the parks. I was also surprised that hardly any time was spent on Disneyland, considering it is still in its 60th.

That sounds like a great tradition. I miss chex mix. My mom always made it at Christmas, too...that and her poppyseed bread, and 3 types of cookies: Cutouts, spritz, and sandies. I miss all that stuff. No one in my house likes sandies but me, so I haven't made them most years, and chex don't exist here and there's nothing remotely like it.

Maybe we need to set up a good exchange for you. We can send you things you can't get and you send us fun stuff we can't get.

I feel your pain. My fever is gone and my throat stopped hurting, but I can't stop coughing!!!! And I still don't have much of a voice. I hate being sick! Hope you feel better soon!!

I hear ya, my cold is finally feeling better. I still have a cough too. I read your post about not singing in church and I too was disappointed that I couldn't sing last night. But I knew I couldn't stay on key and I didn't want to subject any ones ears to that! So I just whisper sang.

A couple pictures for you...
My dog, kapono, wanted to say merry Christmas. And the other is our view on the way to my sisters house, very little snow in northern Wisconsin.

It seems like everyone has a lot to do before the holidays. It can be overwhelming during the "holiday's". The closer it gets to Christmas the more I will be cooking. And I'm getting slower and slower....

Absolutely. I'm watching Harry Potter to relax. A perfect ending to a nice day.

You might have mentioned it already, but, are you going to get to see the Disney Family Museum?

I didn't plan to, but I'm interested. Would a 7-year-old be interested as well?

Perfect picture for Christmas.

Depends on how interested she is in Walt Disney. I remember there were interactive displays that were fun for adults and kids but I could see you a kids that wasn't into history, learning or reading might be a bit bored. So it depends on the kid I say.

Merry Christmas everyone! Sounds like y'all have been enjoying the holiday. I'm about to make some more cookies and then head over to my mom's for Christmas dinner with the family.

Congrats! My dh is still on the hunt for the beer he had at BOG. I had to admit as a nonbeer drinker it way pretty good.

What is the beer? I have a friend that is a liquor distributor. Maybe he'll know where in your area if any. The closest we could find the wine I love from Epcot-Germany was South-West Wisconsin, so every year when my DH DS went to Plattville they'd bring a case back. Quarter of the price too.

 

[Gabe1]

Awesome! It was in the 70s here a bit damp but not bad and the little bit of bad winds we got early died down so one of the poor little fishes went on the grill. I checked out the weather for the end of next week and it will be great again! New Year's Eve BBQ at my house this year ham and sausages, smoked mac and cheese, smoked baked beans, salad and coleslaw. RSVP by Monday THNX

I'm in for the baked beans alone. Will they be made on the smoker?

 

[Goofyernmost]

Absolutely. I'm watching Harry Potter to relax. A perfect ending to a nice day.

I don't know for sure, but, check on their website. It looks pretty much like it has things for the whole family, and it is about Walt Disney so how far could it stray.

@figmentfan423, this is the beer I had at BOG back in the summer of '13. Is there a chance this is the beer your hubby is looking for...Hoegaarden Wit-Blanche...?

 

[Gabe1]

Please tell me what this is and where I can get it. It looks very happy!!! Is it peanut butter? And..some sort of cake underneath?

Cause it is a fake parade?

I thought Reba had a very good performance too. Was half watching as we were attacking the stack of presents.
