Disney's Tropical Christmas

I'm happy to report that our Christmas was merely confusing. Somehow Santa visited a small stateroom without waking anyone up. As for the hallways of our mighty vessel, I'll be quite happy not to hear Christmas caroles played on a steel drum for awhile. You really need snow for the proper effect although Disney tries hard with soap bubbles distributed liberally in common areas. Jessica's Christmas breakfast consisted of chocolate and Pez's - some things stay the same no matter the latitude.

Carolin's working hard to be independent. This can cause scenes later in the day when she runs out of energy but you can't fault her determination. As we all work through this we're learning when to offer help and when to get out of the way. Tomorrow we'll be home. I hope Calgary still has some snow.
