My daughter is of an age that she likes princesses and sometimes they came to different parties she attends. Just before Christmas, Anna and Elsa from Frozen came to a local Christmas party, and she was quite taken with their pretty dresses. I took pictures of her with both of them and posted them.
Pineapple Lovers, Beware. In More Ways Than One
Today I learned (#TIL) I learned something relatively significant, in my opinion, about the little neighborhood I live in.

Top Five Posts of 2017
I have never really done a year in review kind of post (that I can remember) but I used to love that kind of thing. I remember in junior high, loving to read about big stories from the previous year or listen to the “Top 100 songs of 1991,” for example.

What Disney Characters Would You Invite To Your Christmas Dinner?
Tonight, I got an idea from Disney In Your Day about putting together a Disney dinner party. I like a lot of the Disney characters. (This is Disney, after all. We’re supposed to like them.) But there are a few that I would love to spend more time with.

Christmas Memories
Tonight’s memories are brought to you by Christmas Eve.
Since We’re Banning Words…
There’s a meme going around about unpopular words, or words that need to be banned (other than things like “Diversity” and “Evidence-based.”)

Doctor Who, S2E1, New Earth. Written by Russell T. Davies
The Doctor prepares the TARDIS for take off and outside Jackie looks like she’s sending Rose “Adventure Time” Taylor off to school, hugging her and her backpack and fussing over her, giving advice. Mickey’s standing there pouting. She gives him a long kiss good bye. “Love you.” He says, but she doesn’t say it back. Hmmm…

St. Nicholas Eve
I got gold coins today. To put in our shoes tonight. For St. Nicholas Eve. This is a big step.
Since Wee One’s arrival, I’ve been trying to figure out what I want to tell her about Santa and all the other Christmas “things.” Do I want to do Elf on the Shelf? Do I want to go all out with Santa? Only talk about Jesus? Talk about the other holidays around the end of the year?
