Holiday activities? - Page 4

I guess now would be a good time to point out that this weekend is Candlelight Procession at Disneyland.

(Sunday would be a particularly good day to go

)

If you haven't seen it (Pru, Lance) it's a massive choir and full orchestra doing Christmas Carols interspersed with the reading of the Christmas story by a celebrity narrator. It's really a beautiful event.

I can't wait to go on Sunday

I'm already doing dinner with the bro on Saturday, sadly, and since I didn't bother getting tickets, it seems kind of pointless to try to stand by anyhow.

I did standby the one year I saw it. No problem. It was standing, but I had a good view, and I got some good pictures. I didn't even have to spend hours waiting.

So go if you get a chance. Even if you don't have tickets.

Ok. Target has them for $1.29 each, and there are about 20 in stock. Plus, we get a 10% discount.

Would you like us to grab 'em?

Even if you don't get a "seat" you can see the show. There's standing room behind the roped-off seating area. We've been there as a group before. It's just fine!

I'll second that. I was at the Park and didn't even know it was happening. It was great even standing in the crowd.

If it's mine, yes.

I think some tasty gingerbread poop would go quite nicely with your homemade pud.

We ended up seeing Candlelight, although our view wasn't great. (Back of the crowd next to the opera house). Mostly my feet just hurt.
