I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. She told me “Nothing would make her happier than a diamond necklace” So I bought her nothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I missed the day to call in!\u00a0 No!\u00a0 It can’t be!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Time to panic.  As I walked into the office at 6:30 AM I realized it was the 25th…the day AFTER I was supposed to call Disneyland and get our tickets for the Disneyland Christmas Walking Tour!  OMG, what if they are sold out!  First time in years we might miss.  I got three lines going to Disneyland and began called at 5:59 AM.  I got through at 7:05 AM and was on a 5 minute wait.  Finally she answered and I told my story of woe…she looked up the availability and they had eight openings at 12:50 AM on the 24th…we are in!  Hallelujah…Christmas is saved!   I called Robin and Rebecca to let them know are are on for Christmas Eve at Disneyland!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another laid back day.  I went for a walk but for some reason I reset the pedometer half way through the walk but since I have done it so many times I can say “I went 3 miles in 90 minutes” with certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winter flowers are still quite pretty.  Interesting to see the tropical Hibiscus doing so well in relatively cold weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
