Since our youngest still believes in Santa (she will turn 11 a few days before we leave), I have to do SOMETHING for Christmas morning.
This trip is our Christmas gift to each other, from each other... as we are not doing presents with anyone this year in order to afford the trip, so no presents WAS agreed upon by everyone.
So, in order to keep the magic of Santa alive for our little one.... I will do stockings for all the girls. I have already started picking little things up at Five Below, etc. Nothing in there will cost more that $3.... to keep the cost low. I am going to get some cheap felt stockings, and write their names on them in glitter (totally something we would not do at home, since they have stockings they have been using their entire lives) to add to the illusion. The older girls know what's up (but won't know what's going in them)...
Anywho.... that's our little 'surprise' we have planned. And we WILL be decorating the room (much to my DH's dismay, lol). I have Mickey head Christmas lights that will go up in the window of our room at POR and I will get some window clings and other small things to set around. Some of our Disney Christmas decor will be going with us for the room... we will box it all up when we are getting out the decorations for the house after Thanksgiving.
