Merry Christmas To All
We are well underway into the Holiday Season. What's happened in our neck of the woods? Well: 1. Kim cooked a wonderful Thanksgiving meal for the three of us. And we are officially out of leftovers!
2. We drove to Downtown Disney so that Charlie could talk to Santa. This is the first year that Charlie is really understanding Christmas, and he is EXCITED!. He practiced what he wanted to say to Santa, and then got so excited, he just blurted it all out as soon as he saw him. But, we got a great photo (with an outstanding Santa).
After visiting Santa, we walked and found a DJ spinning dance music in Downtown Disney. Charlie is all about dancing, as you can see below! (The sound doesn't work for some dumb reason, but you can tell, there was some great music going!)
3. Over the weekend, I put up lights on the house. Charlie has ben asking for several days, since the neighbors put up their lights. Tonight will be the grand unveiling!
4. We attempted some shopping on Black Friday, but it wasn't easy. Florida Mall (the largest mall in Orlando, but also the one that all the foreign visitors visit to load up on stuff before their return home) was packed. We managed a couple of purchases, but just wanted to get out of there.
5. Saturday was spent at home, and then friends came over to watch Charlie, and me and Kim had a date night. I won two tickets to Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba. We really enjoyed it (and highly recommend it if coming to visit Orlando). We then ate at Raglan Road. One warning if you visit the one in KC . . .the Soda Bread is a might dense, and can sit on your stomach like a tennis ball.
6. Sunday, we skipped Church (got up too late), and then did some chores and a bit of shopping. Charlie got really tired, so we headed home for a nap.
Monday, it's back to work, back to school, and another week starts!

As I was listening to the Rock on the way on to work this morning, Johnny Dare was interviewing Santa. It made me think of this post and I think this might be right up your alley - The Red Suit Diaries.
