There used to be a jingle from a TV commercial that my sister and I sang. It went something like “everything you wanted, you didn’t get for Christmas – is on sale now at SEARS.” While, I can’t honestly say I am a big Sears shopper. I do love the deals that you can get just after Christmas – plus, there is no guilt when I get to purchase something for myself. I don’t hear this tiny little voice saying, “you should be buying something for the kids.” They are all hopped up on sugar, and they will be occupied with their new toys for at least a week or so (I hope). It seems like every store in the mall (and otherwise) have fantastic sales. While, typically the Christmas stuff is well picked over by the next day, we went to Target near us today and there were still some good finds!
Celebrate Noon Year’s Eve
My kids are usually so excited to try to stay up until midnight and see the New Year in. I usually am good at convincing them that the celebration is done at 10 p.m. when we see the ball drop in New York. But, a couple times we have gone to the fun celebration at the Children’s Museum for Noon Year’s Eve.
Celebrate New Year’s Eve in the Mountains
There are several ways to celebrate the New Year in the mountain towns including: Keystone’s Icestravaganza Celebration (plus, I am told the snow fort at the top of the mountain is up), Vail’s Largest New Year’s Party at Dobson Ice Arena, Breckenridge’s New Year’s Torchlight parade and fireworks, and Beaver Creek’s Kids Winter Wonder Parade
