Plans for the Holidays?

[beautifuldisaster486]

Just wondering if anyone out there has "new" plans this year....maybe a new marriage starting new traditions, new baby, ect ect, just anyone out there doing something different this year?

I plan to go home this year...it will be the first Christmas I have gone back since I left in May 2005. I have taken 5 days off of work, basically the days that I have out of school, I took off from work and plan to head home. I am hoping that I get to spend time with my mom, 2 brothers and one of my aunts, and of course all of my neices and nephews. If I get to acheive all of that, that will be the best Christmas present ever. So right now, I am just praying that I can tie the ends together here so I can afford to go home...

As usual, my memory has failed. If you haven't already left to pick up sister at aairport, maybe you could wear a red bowtie? LOL (whatever that means, I think it means lots of love/laughs?) Hers to making many happy memories to your family and to everyone this season.   Madlyn

That's a bummer about the snow.  Hopefully everyone will arrive safely. It seems the snow hit pretty hard all over the country.

I'm thinking it would be nice if grandma and I can bake some cookies, but that means having to go shopping to get the ingredients and the stuff I want to use to decorate.  But it may be worth it. I'd like to make more cookies like the ones I uploaded in my photo.  The cookies in my photo were from a cooking activity done with people with varying disAbilities. We worked together to add an egg, butter, stir the mix, cut the cookies and then bake and decorate.
