Christmas Plans?

So what's everyone doing for the holidays? We're staying put here in Orlando (in-laws arrive on the 23rd). Dinner is at the kids' house this year so the grandkids can stay at home to play with toys. Lots of Disney trips and just relaxing!

Pretty much the same here.. family visits, including grandkids and great-grandkids visiting from far away. :)

Church on Christmas Day.

Unfortunately, NO Disney visits. :( That would be a nice benefit.

We're having my side of the family over on Christmas Eve. I'm putting a 20 lb bird on the Weber. It's always a challenge keeping the charcoal hot for 4 hours or so. But, the end result will be great, plus it keeps the oven free for everything else.

Christmas day we're just hanging out and watching a good Bulls game and a bad Bears game.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

A bad Bears game - is there any other kind?

Merry Christmas, Jim!
