Can't wait for Sirius/XM to start with the holiday music! How exciting! How old are the kids?? Yesterday I ordered a Christmas CD I've wanted since last year. I can't wait for it it get here!!!   My daughter is 6 and my son is 3-1/2.  My son listens to music every night while going to sleep, and the Christmas music was his choice up till August.  Both kids absolutely love the holidays, and repeatedly watch the DVD's of Frosty & Rudolph, etc.  We spend time riding around and looking at the decorations, also.  Even though Hawaii has a better chance of snow, the Mexicans decorate to the hilt and enjoy the heck out of this time of the year. Just today I had one of my guys reserve the caterer for my department Christmas party, which will be at my house this year.  There'll be at least 60 folks, so it'll be a heck of a bash.  I'll snap a few photos in the coming weeks and add to this thread. _________________ Cheers all!!

I would get a check from my parents and grandparents so I could buy what I wanted. My wife is christian and likes presents and I prefer cash. So I must admit it is fun to buy lots of gifts for my wife so she has plenty to open up on X-mas morning..... _________________ Life is not a dress rehearsal!!!
