It seems that life sometimes gets away from us… when we least expect it, we find ourselves running around in circles without an end in sight. It is after such a time in my life that I find myself back at the helm of Rays of Disneyland and ready for a new year in the blogosphere.

1. The Christmas season is winding down, which always makes me sad… every year I say that the next year will be when I finally make it to Disneyland for the holidays. It looks like I’ll be shooting for 2009… I’ll keep you all posted.
2. My Bug’s Life desk decorations were a big hit this year and so much fun to plan. You would be surprised at how hard it is to see life from a bug’s perspective!
3. My favorite Christmas present? A negative and slide converter that will take all of my pre-digital memories and turn them into high res images that I can keep on my computer. Hopefully I will have lots of nostalgic Disneyland pictures to help embellish my memories on this blog.
4. Hymns at church for Christmas… not quite my speed. The church band completely rocking their rendition of Trans-Siberian’s Carol of the Bells… absolutely amazing.
5. The Disney World Christmas parade celebrated its 25th anniversary this year with lots of fun moments from the resorts on both coasts. Along with performances from some of my favorites… like David Cook 🙂 I’ve been watching the parade on Christmas for all 25 years and nothing else can replicate the feeling of bringing the parks into my family room for a few hours on Christmas.
