Disney, Final Days


We're home recovering from vacation! Isn't that funny? No, really, though... we had a fantastic time. On day 5 we went back to Epcot for their Candlelight Processional featuring a talented string orchestra, magical choir and Abigail Breslin of Little Miss Sunshine as the Jesus Story-teller. All this Christmas stuff got me thinking that Disney is really PRO-CHRISTMAS. You don't see much of that these days. Everyone saying "Happy Holidays." I say "Merry Christmas" always. You really have to stick up for Jesus these days. Folks have really lost the meaning of Christmas and celebrate is as just a gift-giving holiday. But anyways, Disney puked Christmas and it was awesome!

Ok, on day 6 we went to the Wilderness Lodge for breakfast and headed home, err, to Tampa rather, for a little holiday celebration with my Dad, Pat, Lauren, Luis and my Uncle Joseph. This was a great introduction to opening presents and how it's all done. It's instinctive for her to tear paper so she did a pretty good job tearing up the wrapping paper after Aunt Lauren got her started. She got lots of fun presents and we managed to get them all home on the plane. Hooray!

This morning we got up at the wee hour of 3:30 am to catch a plane home to Fayetteville! Surprisingly, after a shower, I'm feeling pretty good :)

YAY for a great vacation. And I loved what you said about saying "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry Christmas." Alot of people forget what this holiday is all about, not all the presents, but the REAL gift that was given to us all. Well get home safely, and give the family a big hug from me! :)
