Brilliant Game
Santa got Emy a really cool toy for Xmas. You setup an obstacle course with 5 simple discs, and then you use a joystick that times how long it takes you to get from target to target. It doesn't matter where you play or how many people can play. Tired her right out in an hour. =)

Pic for Our Holiday Card
Every year, we strive to get a family picture done, and get it out the door in a card format. This year, we've got the picture done, before Christmas for the very first time. (Yay!) Now..for getting it into a card, and sending it out...I give it maybe 50/50 chance of actually happening. So if you are seeing this, Merry Christmas!

Ideas
From time to time, I get an idea in the middle of the night and write it down and do nothing with it. But...now I have a blog, so I can share my ideas that are completely random in the ever evolving public sphere.
1) "Wish Upon A Star" Card - an interest accruing gift card that you can buy from Disney, that works sort of like a savings account. You buy the card when you can afford it, and it gains interest until you can use it. This way if you want to take a Disney vacation in 5 years, you can buy the gift cards in advance which allows you to save some money specifically for your trip, without mixing into your regular savings fold. Another benefit would be, that you could gift a trip to say, your elementary school teacher, who could probably get a $300 gift card every year for five years, and then voila, have a ready made trip fund.
2) No Bailout for Automakers - I think they should have given the money to cities on condition that the cities use the money to buy the greenest cars available from the automakers and give them for free to qualified individual applicants who commute within city limits every day. This way, the cities benefit from cleaner air, the people benefit from the free cars, and the automakers get business without getting rewarded for messing up big time.
