Written by a brother of mine . . .
I have family in town this week. The good kind. The kind that if you had the room you’d want them and their brood to stay with you. The kind you don’t get to spend enough time with. That sort. Anyway, we went to one of the holiday offerings in Orlando at one of the Theme Parks that has a special ticketed event that serves all the cookies, hot chocolate, apple juice and pre-packaged apple slices one can possibly consume, as well as parades, decor, and offerings unique to the season. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. This is a winter wonderland for kids of all ages. Unlimited cookies? What gets better than that. And the brilliant logic as a parent is to let your child consume as many as possible and then flame out in a brilliant buzz of sugar-induced energy which ultimately results in a good night’s sleep for all. Sometimes.
Read the whole thing. It’s worth it.
