This might be a bit too far away from you Aimee but here's some info on an old train that attracts loads of folks to it. My son's school is taking a trip to it today. It's decked out for Xmas as Santas train.
If your little guy is train mad it might be an option if you're ever down in these parts and trying to pass the day!!
Nostradamus tried to rescue him but befell the same fate... got stuck in the past. So, he did his best to jot down some stuff he could remember about his own real past, historical stuff as far as he was concerned. Some numbscull came across the writings some time later and misinterpreted them as predictions.
Ah bless... haven't had one of those in long long time so don't know what that's like.... imagine it's worse at this time of year than at any other. Sooo good that you have your real friends around you though.
Tis not so bad, will get phone calls and will SKYPE them on the day. We'll have our own present opening 'ceremony' on the 24th before they go, kids love getting to do the opening a day earlier than the friends
RE: Will you be giving anything up for 2010?
Am way ahead of you on that one... not by choice though
