View attachment 123695 Today, we are celebrating Christmas early as two of our kids will be with their other parent this year on Christmas Day. We are calling it Grinchmas. Last night, for Grinchmas Eve we watched the original How the Grinch Stole Christmand and read an adapted version of 'Twas the Night Before (Grinch)mas.

This morning, we woke up to stockings and presents. For breakfast, we turned our pancakes into Christmas characters. And now we play with our new toys.

We will watch the live action Grinch a little later and make Santa Grinches out of fruit.

For dinner, we are having roast beast and Who hash and Who pudding.

Sounds like a fabulous time! Universal Studios has Grinchmas, too: http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/grinchmas/grinchmas_event/

Naps helps most issues! I'm glad you can rest now. And I hope you have a wonderful trip!

I hope too, I had to take a lot of naps to recover.
thanksfully I oversleep today and feel rested.

That's awful. Your country should crack down on stealers!

they do, but corruption is rampant.
They can pretty much pay the inspector or give him a big cut of the profits.

I was just a little kid but already in Catholic Primary school when I remember so many people from my extended family whaling on my oldest cousin. He had bought a record. I had no clue what they were all so upset about. "Jesus Christ SuperStar." Obviously the big people in my life found it offensive.

I think because the Jesus Christ SuperStar show is pretty much a jew take on the story of Jesus.
And they make it as a pop icon, not a god.
The creator of the series is not christian (andrew lloyd webber). Maybe that is why some conservative christians do not like the show at all.

Sometimes all my Amazon stuff comes in one box and sometimes with Prime I can get 7 boxes in a day, all delivered separately.

Sometimes it can be worse in my opinion.. I once had a box, inside a box inside a bag that contained smaller retail boxes for the products lol.

The good is, I usually use these boxes to send stuff I sell on ebay and other sites.

Welcome, what part of Colorado? Are you skiing?

 

[betty rose]

Beaver Creek. Been going there since I was 3!

It's really pretty there.

How nice. Through college I bopped between Breckenridge, Aspen and Vail. Good times. As time went on I migrated to warm January vacations.

I love Vail. It looks so quaint!

 

[betty rose]

was a commodore 64 for me.hours loading up games off a cassette only for them to crash at the last minute. . . OY

I started with that too, I loved the Pong game.

 

[betty rose]

I have never made it to Steamboat. Beaver, Vail, Breckenridge all owned by the same and I kinda went that way cause I liked that style. I fell in love with Aspen in the summer and returned for skiing there after. Have not done any of that in so many years.

Yes , Maroon Bells is so pretty.

Good morning it's baking day here! seeing it looks like it's going to be cold all day it's a good way to heat up the house. My newish oven doesn't heat up the house like my old one did. A good thing in summer not as good now.

Good day, I slept in today, and made blueberry bread pudding for breakfast. Really yummy!

Everywhere is Starbuckd out here.

6 days until Christmas!

I love the Christmas sweater!

 

[betty rose]

I hope too, I had to take a lot of naps to recover.

We must be on the same wave length I overslept too!

 

[betty rose]

Good afternoon, all. Hope everyone is enjoying the week-end. Hubby and I are going to the zoo, it's a 70 acre display of Christmas lights. Animals and Christmas lights. These are two of my favorite things!

Except I didnt cancel it at all, noone of us did.
The booking company did.

Yes, I do understand that. I just mean that the airline and hotel likely assumed (incorrectly) that it was you who cancelled. That is why they didn't contact you when it was cancelled.

Glad you got it figured out in the end.

its 15 pesos per litre.. thats around 1 USD per litre.
Note that a lot of the gas vendors, have rigged machines..so they usually give you 950ml and not the full thing.

Yeah, I can't speak about Mexico. I am in Canada and we use litres too. That's what I meant.
