    Merry Christmas!

    I was up putting together stuff until 3:45 so I’m a little tired but it’s worth it :)

    This reads way differently to an aTm fan.

    My wife's grandfather got that and only made it 6 months without treatment. That is amazing he has fought so long. Glad you are getting to spend some quality time with him.

    My son woke me up at 3 this morning. Fortunately, he finally went back to sleep and woke up at 6. Unfortunately, I've been awake since 3.

    I do miss the Blue Gray Game and the Aloha Bowl on Christmas day though.

    Blue/Gray was awesome. Nothing like a little civil war football on a lazy afternoon.

    Any of y’all ever been to Disneyworld the week of Christmas ? I’ve read reviews and see that it’s usually busy, just wanting to hear personal experience if you have any. This would be for next year.

    I went the week after Christmas with my family one year(2009 I think) and it was absolutely packed. We didn't spring for the fast pass(or whatever its called that lets you get into the "priority" line) and the line for basically everything was at least 45min-1hr. The park itself was awesome but the wait for most of the rides were miserable. Not sure how much has changed in the last decade, but I'd just assume Christmas week would be packed. Would still say it was worth going to once though, especially for kids who are old enough to appreciate it. Even with the crowds and wait times I'd love to go back if I didnt have to sell a kidney to do so

    Never done it myself but I know last year they had stop letting people in at noon. They were at full capacity and the same happened on New Year's day. You decide, but that would be a terrible experience.

    Family went when I was 15. We all had fun, wasn't terribly crowded, but wasn't not crowded either.

    Just finished watching Christmas Vacation with the family for every year since it came out 1989 ...

    and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no good, rotten, low life, snake licking, dirty inbred, over stuffed, ignorant, blood sucking, dog kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat assed, bug-eyed, stiff legged, spineless, worm headed, sack of monkey shit he is .... Hallelujah, holy shit, where's the Tylenol

    I hope you all were as lucky or luckier than I was, because I'm happy. Merry Christmas, 8th.

    Wow. That would be terrible. My girls are 11 and 8 now. I think I’m at the right time to take them but might just do it in the fall instead.

    But we are definitely going somewhere next Christmas.
