White Christmas is on AMC tonight at 10:45 - I know what I am watching once the kids get to bed and I am settled in for the night! :busy:

One of my favorites. Dinner is at 6:00 p.m.

Maybe we will do Lights on the Lake tomorrow night...can I come for dinner tonight? Your soup sounds delicious and Made, the bark sound wonderful as well! I will bring some Christmas cookies! Deal?

Tonight DH, myself, and the kids are going to "Holiday Lights on the Lake." It's a big lights display in my area. I found this link to a video on youtube. It's from a years back and they have added lights now, but they have 50+ acres now to look at.

Lakemont!!!! I guess I'll have to come back one December so I can drive around this now.

I called the company and they are sending me a replacement of what I ordered, they say it should be here before Christmas, I will believe it when I see it. That's the first time I ever had to call to replace something that didn't come in after ordering online. I feel a little better about that is starting to be rectified.

I heard this song on the radio on my way home from shopping today, I laughed so hard when I heard it. [youtube_browser]50IgzksUqpQ[/youtube_browser]

Yes...good 'ole Lakemont. It truly has turned into a dump, to say the least. I have never once taken EA there. We take her to "Bland's Park" in Tipton, which is now Delgrosso's Park, have you been there before? It is still sooo nice, plus the water park is very nice. It isn't that far from my end of Altoona either.

Hope you get your gifts. We ordered stuff for our Iphones off of Amazon and it was supposed to be almost a week ago and is still not. DH says he can't even track it. He's really starting to get mad.

Was there PB in your chicken wing sauce?

May have been but I know I got some smeared in the grooves of my Dinah Shore 33 1/3 Christmas record of which reflects this bunch perfectly!

Oh, man, yes!!!

If RJD had written what I just wrote, he would have said, "Oh, (wo)man, yes!"

Seawaters said:
Oh, man, yes!!!

Seawaters said:

If it's okay though, I will probably have to bring DH and the kids. I told him I was going to make dinner...lol

Seawaters · Dec 13, 2011

Okay, I just spit out some coffee!!!

Hi everyone! How is everyone on this fine day? I can't believe there is only 12 days to go!

Not too much going on here. Today is my day off, then I am not off until next Monday. Total bummer, right? I was busy at work last night, it was incredible. Every minute I turned around, so else went wrong. I am so glad to be off tonight, you have no idea. My back is killing me. It really needs a rest.

I am so happy to see all the chatter on the countdown today! It makes me smile!

That's beautiful!!!! Have fun!!
We used to go to Festival Of Lights here when it was in a park nearby, but they lost their contract with them & it's now at The Las Vegas Speedway
Which is too long of a drive, and getting out of there is a nightmare.
I'll just virtually enjoy yours! :grin:

Spit more coffee!!! You guys, STOP making me laugh!!!

Sorry to hear that! I love going to this every year. It looks like this video was obviously made by someone who just goes to it every year as well, but it still portrays what it is kind of like. They try to add some lights every year. They have a gift shop with a toy train display as well to give visit afterwards. You can even go on sleigh rides during certain times. I would love to do that some year.

I think you would enjoy them - a 5 month old and 2 year old would be GREAT entertainment!

I haven't been to Lakemont since the early 90's. It's sad to hear that it's turned into a dump. I've never been to Delgrosso's. When we use to come back every year we would always go over to Hershey Park for a day and then we also go to lakemont for a day after it opened.
