A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea, With a voice as big as the sea." Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, "Do you know what I know? Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king, Do you know what I know? Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold-- Let us bring him silver and gold, Let us bring him silver and gold." Said the king to the people everywhere, "Listen to what I say! Listen to what I say! Pray for peace, people, everywhere, Listen to what I say! Listen to what I say! A Child, A Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light."

The rest of the folks are on their way. Ahhhhh.... here they are now. ** A huge sleigh arrives with everyone else aboard** I hope you all enjoyed the ride. Mr Yoda, if you would kind sir, a four star kitchen and full bar await your talents! Pete please assist me in helping the ladies off the sleighs. Chicken if you would be so kind, please select our dinner music. Tom please make sure the Tea Room will accomodate all of us. Now everyone please, inside for a pre-Christmas feast! ***Everyone enters and has the best feast ever. Hours of peaceful banter, great food, and Yoda's exceptional drinks of all kinds delite everyone.*** Yoda you really out-did yourself! Tom thank you for getting us the Trapp Lodge on such short notice. Chicken thanks for providing such excellent music. At the end of the evening, they all load up and head back for LP Winter Wonderland. Halfway back... DVC_dad yells back to his passengers, "I hope you all had a great time. By the way, the truce is over." He gives a loud crack of the whip, and dives off the sleigh. "Enjoy the ride ladies!" "DON'T FORGET TO WRIIIIIIITE!"

Meanwhile, the ladies are preparing their next plan of attack. And DVC - you are the center of that attack. Beware....
