I changed my own tradition of Cornish Hens due to housemates preferring and buying a fresh turkey, but except for the cherry and and HDO's DH does all the cooking...

AHH - At the mall I started at, there was a line to get into The Disney Store, not just to check out. I was glad I had shopped previously (mostly online) for my Disney purchases. I actually shop all year and just keep an eye on anything going into the outlet or when they have good sales & free shipping. So Ophellia - how was fishing? Did you catch your limit? Good thinking on getting your hook baited for you. That is always the worst part. I guess Smeds is busy getting ready for DLP. Have fun. Pick out a nice ornament for your SS.

I have already bought a lot of little things for DH which he knows nothing about. Besides getting the tree and some lights, and putting everything up, I have a bunch of other projects too. Aaah! Of course, since I was in LA for all of my little vacation, today is my first day off here since the 21st. Ugh, I had to get a new car battery on Tuesday. Living alone and having your battery not work is really obnoxious, and then I'm not knowledgeable about cars. I was very lucky to find people that are. On another note, my parents were just talking about selling me their older car to us. However, even with it being a good deal, I hate the car (a Nissan Maxima). It feels like you are driving (and parking) a big truck with the tiniest rear window ever and giant blind spots.

Originally Posted By smedley I am back, it was absolutely freezing, I spent all 4 days in full on thermals, ski jacket, ski gloves, hat and buff!! Still we had fun, I will always prefer WDW for the overall experience and the warmth though Now I have no time and too many things to organise for Christmas :O

Originally Posted By smedley I bought a few things, but not very much, with the exchange rate the way it is some things were very expensive I did manage to get the things I was really looking for though
