almost midway thru december...

and i am really hating typepad right now. i just had a long post, complete with CHRISTMAS LIGHT info, and POOF, typepad made it disappear like jimmy hoffa. grrrr... i think it is this new editor. it's making typepad act really weird for me.

i'll give links to the maps for what i think are two of the best christmas light displays in south orange county.

bramford street candy cane lane 

this is a very special neighborhood where i think about 99.9% of the houses are lit up. so worth the trip! :)

el corzo, rancho santa margarita 

this winter wonderland is kind of out of the way for a lot of people, and the crowds can be off-putting, but once you get out of your car and walk down this street, you'll feel like you are in another world, complete with SNOW and a mini ice rink. GO - you will not be disappointed, i promise! ;) i posted a ton of pictures of it a couple of years ago here. 

and yay!! snowdays is back!! you can go here and make the coolest virtual snowflakes. my kids LOVE this site, and i bet yours will, too!   

one last thing. if you love christmas treats, you must go to trader joe's. they have so many yummies - peppermint joe joes (oreos), salted caramels, triple gingersnaps, the list goes on and on. so good - make sure you put some of these delicacies on your christmas list. ;)

and if you scrapbookers out there need something really, really cool to ask for for christmas, THIS might be the perfect thing to ask for under the tree. it is being put on by scrapbook oasis and my awesome friend, susan lyons. i know that susan is a planner extraordinaire, and that karen and scrapbook oasis always hit it out of the park with their events, so this should be amazing.    

sorry no pics on this post, but typepad is *NOT* my friend right now.

hope everyone had a great weekend! :)
