any good gift ideas? anyone giving or getting good ones this year? dont forget to post us what you got! merry xmas!

Hey jane,

You and Frank have a wonderful holiday.

And that goes for ALL the rest of our dear friends on this board. The knowledge, the humor, and the never ending philosophies are truly priceless. I started to list y'all, but just sure as hell I'd leave someone out, and then that "blue drinkin'" in the morning thing would come up again.

Giving/getting for Xmas? They're both the same...I'm giving SWMBO, the Prince, and the Princess trips to San Pedro, AND I'm getting one myself! 48 hours left to "no shoes and a tub of 'blues'."

If anybody's in the "area" by all means drop by, y'all probably got the location of the veranda pretty well figured out by now.

Happy Holidays and Peace on Earth.

CC and SWMBO

I am so jealous. Wish I were headed to SP for Christmas. Although we have no snow here in Sac, it is COLD! BRRR. Giving gift certificates to friends and family this year - for restaurants (everybody loves to eat) and my folks are getting one for Harveys Casino in Lake Tahoe. (tempted to keep that one!). A great holiday to all! The boss here gave us Friday and Tuesday off, plus a bonus. Gotta love it.

Round trip tickets to BZE/AC for my three kids, son-in-law, son's fiancee and myself plus 5 nights at Holiday Hotel and Blue Hole dive trip on the 30th. It's a trip of a lifetime to have everyone there together. My daughter and her husband spent their honeymoon at HH in 1996, the older son was there in 94 and the youngest and I were there in January 2000...but never all of us together. With busy lives and distant homes this will be the first time in two years that we are all together. Can you think of a better place to be?

Annie,
Obviously, no.

Jane, Merry Christmas to you. What does your family have planned? I am making your Cranberry Grand Marnier Cheesecake for Christmas so wish me luck.

I just read back and realized that you might be celebrating the festival of lights in your home. What ever the season I hope that your home is filled with warmth and love as you celebrate together.
