1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,720
I don't know how to react at the
moment because the rest of us 

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,960
did do a small wardrobe change 
here over the course of the past

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,160
five minutes and just threw a 
sweater on. 

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,000
And then Santa Jeff sat down and
I. 

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,600
Merry Christmas everybody. 
You you look like you're doing a

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:26,800
remake of Bad Santa I. 
Don't even know what to think 

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,280
either. 
And I didn't even think he was 

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,560
going to change his shirt 
because he was busy. 

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,320
And then he looked up and was 
like, oh, you guys all changed. 

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,800
Hold on a second. 
And I thought, you know, a 

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,080
sweater or shirt and then he 
comes out and like the full get 

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,360
up. 
Santa. 

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,800
Happy holidays everybody. 
Help happy. 

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,640
Holidays. 
Just waiting for my Jingle Bell 

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:01:01,960
dog to stop jangling. 
Hey everybody and welcome to 

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,840
this week's episode, or I guess 
I should say, Happy holidays 

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,160
everyone and welcome to this 
week's episode of the DVC Show. 

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,240
I am your host, Paul Krieger, 
joined as always by my lovely 

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,560
wife, Amy Krieger. 
We have Senior Sales associate 

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,240
for the DVC Resale market, Derek
de Boer with us. 

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,320
Ho ho, hey now ho. 
Ho, hey. 

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,120
Sorry, Derek, I didn't mean to 
interrupt you. 

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,160
Can you show off your that is 
the the one that figment wears. 

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,440
And even if I don't like 
figment, that is so cute. 

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,760
Yeah. 
Thank. 

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,280
You and then Santa himself. 
Ho ho ho. 

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Merry Christmas everybody. 
Jeff Haslam. 

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,800
Jeff, I just, I feel the need to
ask to get us started. 

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Why do you have that? 
Listen, I I can't give away 

30
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,480
secrets, but I'm very busy this 
time of year. 

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:56,320
No, I'm kidding. 
I saw it on Amazon once. 

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,080
I thought it was a way nicer 
costume because I was going to 

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,160
play a trick on my kids and it 
came. 

34
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,680
And then it showed up and. 
I didn't. 

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,600
All right, patreon.com/DVC fan 
for the real story. 

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,480
Because I don't buy one. 
Look at that one. 

37
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,240
I do have to tell you all 
though, that you may notice that

38
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,360
there's a tree behind us and 
wonder if I just set up a tree 

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,120
randomly for this show, or that 
there's a Santa next to Amy on 

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,240
the other side of Amy. 
And whether or not I just pulled

41
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,280
that out of storage on this show
'cause it is October 29th at 

42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,960
that. 
We are filming this show. 

43
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,720
But it doesn't go up until what,
November or something? 

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,080
That is true, but what I can 
tell you in the bottom of my 

45
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,280
heart is that I went and got a 
haircut yesterday and Christmas 

46
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,080
vomited over my house while I 
was gone. 

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:52,280
OK, let me let me explain. 
So First off we moved last year 

48
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,120
in December. 
So normally Paul and I would put

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,360
up our Christmas stuff in like 
it used to be, It used to be 

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,880
Thanksgiving weekend. 
And then it slowly crepts sooner

51
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,160
into November, 'cause we wanted 
more time to enjoy it, 'cause 

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,560
we're always really busy and. 
And we and we go away for the. 

53
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Holidays, yeah. 
And we go away, especially now 

54
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,480
we, you know, we spend the whole
week, we drive with our dogs. 

55
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,960
We go to West Virginia, we stay 
in a cabin with our dogs. 

56
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,080
And so when we host Christmas 
for our family. 

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,400
So we're gone the entire week of
Christmas, actually a little 

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,000
more because it takes a little 
time to drive. 

59
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,120
And so last year we moved. 
So we were, we were selling our 

60
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,880
house in October, we were 
closing in December, we moved 

61
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,920
into a new house in December. 
So by the time we got our stuff 

62
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,000
moved, we had the Polynesian 
tower opening and then we had to

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,960
go to Wheeling and we had no 
time. 

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,680
We didn't get to put our trees 
up. 

65
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,840
I love this. 
Barely got to decorate. 

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
So that you've spent the past 
two minutes justifying this and 

67
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,520
as if anything different will 
happen next year. 

68
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,480
No, we are obsessed with 
Christmas. 

69
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,320
Let's just put it that way. 
Whereas some of you love 

70
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Halloween and love spooky 
season. 

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
When trick or treaters come to 
our house, they're going to get 

72
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,960
hot cocoa and cookies and that's
going to be there to scare them 

73
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,840
away at the front door. 
I hope so. 

74
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,720
We are going to be putting our 
Christmas tree up this week 

75
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,600
before Halloween because we need
to see if all the faults are. 

76
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,520
Going. 
To make sure going to light it. 

77
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,840
Doesn't apparently there's 
something at Home Depot called 

78
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,200
the Grand Duchess that I have to
purchase so. 

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,600
I'm doing, Annie said that 
we're, we're doing ours the day 

80
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,160
after Halloween. 
And it's for that exact same 

81
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,000
reason that you guys are too, 
because for around Thanksgiving,

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,520
we go to Asheville to go visit 
my dad. 

83
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,760
So then we're, we just want to 
enjoy it more. 

84
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,040
And I feel like this year, I 
feel like Halloween's been going

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,480
on since like June. 
Yeah, it actually feel. 

86
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,120
Like that more this year than 
any other year, yeah. 

87
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,360
And I think it's because like 
Horror Nights down here in 

88
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Orlando starts like in like mid 
August. 

89
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,120
So it's got like Halloween, like
on the I swear to God, it feels 

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,560
longer than the food and wine 
fest. 

91
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,640
It's just so long. 
Yeah, the first Halloween party.

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,120
Help me out for. 
Disney was you. 

93
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,320
Know in the comments and then 
you guys as my friends get Amy 

94
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,240
Templeton involved with this. 
There is no Christmas allowed in

95
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,280
my house until Black Friday. 
No, that's too late. 

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,280
That's way too late. 
The glow of a Christmas tree is 

97
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:25,480
one of the most magical things 
that you can have in your 

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,640
household. 
Why would you want to reduce 

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,840
that to like a month? 
Some of my favorite. 

100
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:31,920
Pictures an entire bin of 
Thanksgiving. 

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,320
Things that have to go out 
before. 

102
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,280
Thanksgiving, that's. 
Hold please, do you have a 

103
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:39,520
Turkey costume? 
Stay tuned. 

104
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,600
Why do not? 
Darn, yeah, I love the glisten 

105
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800
of my dogs eyes as they look up 
at the Christmas tree. 

106
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000
I have like a bunch of different
photos like them of them. 

107
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,640
Yeah. 
Anyhow, you guys could probably 

108
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,840
judge us and say that we're 
crazy, but we love Christmas and

109
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,560
so and you know, Merry 
Christmas, happy Holidays 

110
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,280
everyone. 
We're doing a Christmas show 

111
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:01,160
early this year and we decided 
let's talk about our favorite 

112
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200
holiday traditions. 
So we we'll go around the room 

113
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,560
tonight and do kind of a 
combination of some of our 

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,960
favorite Disney and DVC holiday 
traditions that we've created 

115
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,320
over the years, but also just 
kind of some fun like just 

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880
general holiday traditions, like
what do you do around your 

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,320
house? 
What is something that you know 

118
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,360
you you you always do or you 
always think about and something

119
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,920
you celebrate with your family 
Before we get into it, this and 

120
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,920
all of our content is brought to
you by Key Holder Vacations and 

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,240
our world of DVC companies. 
DVC Resale Market. 

122
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,160
If you're looking to buy a 
contract for a loved one this 

123
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,640
holiday season, you might be a 
little bit late to the game, but

124
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,440
I can tell you that a couple 
years ago, several, maybe 5 or 

125
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,520
so, I was contacting Derek de 
Boer around this time of the 

126
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,280
year to the prize, this one with
a Grand Floridian contract. 

127
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:57,280
So you can at least get that 
contract under contract, get 

128
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:01,440
that contract under contract 
before the end of the year and 

129
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,320
then you'll have something to 
wrap up under the tree. 

130
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,080
I, I put a little sticker 
underneath the ornament for the 

131
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,440
Grand Floridian, the points that
I got you. 

132
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,720
So that was a fun little 
Christmas gift. 

133
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,840
So if you're thinking if you, if
you need a gift, it's an 

134
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,240
expensive one, I'll agree, But 
you know, it's an option. 

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,560
If you're looking to sell a 
contract to purchase all of 

136
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,160
those other toys and everything 
that you'll have Jeff deliver to

137
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,080
your kids this this Christmas, 
then the DVC resale market can 

138
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,240
help with that. 
Also Monera Financial where you 

139
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,960
can finance that DVC resale 
contract. 

140
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Purchase the DVC rental store 
where you can try before you 

141
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,280
buy, rent some points. 
Book that vacation for your 

142
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,160
family that they can under 
unwrap under the tree this year.

143
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Or if you again need some extra 
cash to pay off that credit card

144
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,920
debt that you racked up from 
buying too many presents, you 

145
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,560
can rent out some extra points. 
Don't forget annual dues are on 

146
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160
the horizon. 
And last but not least, unlocked

147
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Magic unlocked magic.com/DVC fan
for discounted Disney World and 

148
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,440
Universal Orlando tickets. 
And I heard only because someone

149
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,200
emailed me earlier today asking 
for some Disneyland tickets that

150
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400
those are on the horizon because
many of you have been asking 

151
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,320
when will we have Disneyland 
tickets? 

152
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,280
So shows are coming soon. 
Could be out there by the time 

153
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,640
this goes up. 
So go check it out. 

154
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,560
magic.com/DVC fan. 
I don't know why I'm doing the 

155
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,160
short thing, but I'm your 
Penguins. 

156
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,800
I think you had you. 
You gave a perfect thing for all

157
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,160
parents out there with young 
kids. 

158
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,640
If you want to get your kids on 
the best behaviors and have them

159
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600
on the nice list, show them a 
picture of Santa. 

160
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,400
If you want them on the naughty 
list, show them a picture of 

161
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Jeff and I swear you will. 
You will completely change their

162
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,920
behavior 100%. 
I don't know a better person to 

163
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,240
kick off our holiday traditions 
with than Santa himself. 

164
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480
So Santa, give us one of your 
favorite. 

165
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,920
We'll start things off with 
Disney or DVC related holiday 

166
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,040
traditions. 
Give us one of your favorites. 

167
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,040
Is it easy to deliver to kids in
the DVC villas or is that a 

168
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,040
little bit? 
Oh yeah, OK. 

169
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,600
You've seen my show, The Santa 
Claus. 

170
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,800
There's there's magic involved 
for sure. 

171
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,200
You have a magic band that just 
gets you into every room. 

172
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,160
Wouldn't that be great? 
I think one of my favorite 

173
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,760
things is is to see the resorts 
at Christmas time, but 

174
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:27,080
specifically I love, love, love 
the beach Club gingerbread merry

175
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,840
Go round because it's different 
every year. 

176
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,200
It's a. 
Different theme every year. 

177
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,840
I, I, it's just all the 
gingerbreads are cool, don't get

178
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,360
me wrong, but that one 
definitely changes every year. 

179
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,440
And that's just kind of my, my 
favorite thing to do. 

180
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,640
We always, always will always 
make a stop at the beach club 

181
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,040
and see what creativity they've 
done. 

182
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,160
My dog is wanting to play ball. 
If you can hear the thumping in 

183
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,880
the background, sorry but. 
Your reindeer, you mean? 

184
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:52,840
You what? 
Yeah. 

185
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,720
My reindeer like last year it 
was. 

186
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,760
What was it last year was? 
It the DuckTales one or? 

187
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Or maybe last year was Mickey's 
Christmas Carol, the year before

188
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,720
his DuckTales. 
I don't. 

189
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,320
Remember, I remember the 
Princess one girl was. 

190
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,120
Just so great. 
That's that's one of my 

191
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:07,880
favorite. 
Things. 

192
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:10,080
Yep. 
Right. 

193
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,800
That's the show. 
We're looking at me. 

194
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,680
Well, usually that means talk. 
I know, but you know, sometimes 

195
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:19,080
it doesn't. 
You are the holliest, jolliest 

196
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
person I know right now. 
So what is 1? 

197
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,320
OK, this one you're going to 
think is stupid, but it's one of

198
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,520
my favorites. 
So every year at some point 

199
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,720
between November 1st and before 
we have to leave for Christmas. 

200
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,000
I always like to go holiday 
strolling. 

201
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,480
I'd say holiday shopping, but 
I'm way too cheap to buy most 

202
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,720
things there. 
Holiday strolling around Disney 

203
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,000
Springs and I like to stop at 
Earl's Sandwich and I have to 

204
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,400
have and they sell it all year 
round, but it's super special to

205
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,320
me during the holidays. 
The holiday Turkey sandwich at 

206
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560
Earl's Sandwich. 
It's like Turkey dinner and a 

207
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:01,800
sandwich. 
It is. 

208
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,800
It is like one of the best 
sandwiches ever so and then I 

209
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,280
like to stroll around and see 
like the tree, the Christmas 

210
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,280
trees at at Disney Springs and. 
The holiday bar at Jock. 

211
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,320
Lindsay's holiday bar is always 
fun. 

212
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,320
Yeah, there's all kinds of cool 
stuff. 

213
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,200
There, and the great thing about
Amy's too is is is it's the free

214
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,840
option. 
For. 

215
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,040
For if you want Disney magic 
mixed with a little Christmas 

216
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,800
time, Like it's free to park. 
It's free to just wander around,

217
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,200
Yeah. 
And a sandwich is like 8 bucks 

218
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,440
at Earl's sandwich. 
She even talked him into a free 

219
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,360
pasta salad one year. 
True source. 

220
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,040
They did. 
The manager gave you a free 

221
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,240
pasta salad, but it was because 
I it wasn't on the because. 

222
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,600
She's a frequent customer, 
that's why. 

223
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Yeah, it's, you know, she 
doesn't make this up, folks. 

224
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,960
She loves sandwiches just as 
much as you think she does. 

225
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,920
So there you go, Derek the 
figment elf. 

226
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,960
Give us one of your DVC or 
Disney holiday traditions. 

227
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760
I will. 
This was fun because I was 

228
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,760
talking about it with my wife 
Annie, and the first thing that 

229
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,240
we said is probably something 
that most people may not think 

230
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,720
of when they associate with the 
holidays is it is our annual 

231
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,040
tradition to go to wait for it, 
Disney's Vero Beach in December 

232
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,800
before Christmas. 
We have our trip booked this 

233
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,560
year. 
That's what I was looking for 

234
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,480
when we're trying to figure out.
So we're going, yeah, I don't 

235
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,560
have the exact dates, but it's 
like 3 nights right before 

236
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:31,560
Christmas. 
We're going to go the points for

237
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:36,600
an ocean view in the in room 
range anywhere from during the 

238
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,560
week. 
It was 15 points because again, 

239
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,040
it's before the holidays. 
So this falls into travel period

240
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,080
#2 on the weekend, I think we 
have one weekend night, then 

241
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,800
it's like 19 points. 
And that is an ocean view in 

242
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,600
room for those that haven't 
been. 

243
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,840
And by the time we tape this, 
hopefully right now, Paul will 

244
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,640
segue to a picture I'll send him
of the tree at Vero Beach in the

245
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,200
lobby. 
That lobby is always beautiful 

246
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,880
to begin with. 
But my God, during the holiday 

247
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,520
season, that tree I think rivals
anything on Walt Disney World 

248
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,920
property. 
They've got cookies out. 

249
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,360
They've got cocoa out. 
The tree has giant turtle 

250
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,720
ornaments on them that are like 
this big all up and down, the 

251
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,840
whole entire tree that goes from
the bottom of the lobby all the 

252
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,640
way to the very top. 
The weather, it may be a little 

253
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,840
cold to go into the ocean, but 
it doesn't matter just because 

254
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,600
the weather's beautiful. 
The pools are heated, The 

255
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,480
holiday music they play is just 
fantastic. 

256
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,840
And again, it's been a holiday 
tradition of me and my family 

257
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,320
and now that we've been going 
for, my God, probably 15 plus 

258
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,520
years, every single December, we
always managed to meet some 

259
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,320
great DVC fan folks when we're 
there as well. 

260
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,040
But knowing that my kids have 
always associated, you know, 

261
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,440
right before Christmas with 
going to Vero with mom and dad. 

262
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,600
And now they're, you know, 20 
years old and 17 years old. 

263
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,720
And I'm more pumped about this 
year than I think ever before. 

264
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,880
So Vero Beach before Christmas, 
if you go during that Christmas 

265
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,280
week, your points then jump up 
to like 600 points per night. 

266
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,800
So kind of insane. 
But right before Christmas, 

267
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,760
travel period to Vero Beach, the
favorite DVC resort of mine for 

268
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,560
the holidays. 
And that's funny because that's 

269
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:21,400
when a lot of people don't think
of when they think of Christmas.

270
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,400
And every time I'm in that lobby
at Vero Beach and we've never 

271
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,160
been there for for the holidays.
The closest we've come is 

272
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,360
September. 
So we've been there, May, 

273
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,720
August, September. 
Every time I'm in there, I think

274
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,640
about Derek saying, you know how
beautiful it is in such a pretty

275
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,040
lobby. 
So I just can't imagine how 

276
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,960
pretty that tree in the decor 
is. 

277
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,360
So someday we're going to have 
to. 

278
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,080
This is again like go back to 
the top of the show. 

279
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,800
This is why we decorate early. 
This is why we get started 

280
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,160
early. 
There are not enough days or 

281
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040
weeks to do the million things 
that we always want to do. 

282
00:14:59,040 --> 00:14:59,680
Many. 
Things and. 

283
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,960
Especially in Orlando, there are
so many different things, like 

284
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,560
we've been talking about going 
to ice at the Gaylord Palms and 

285
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,160
ever since we moved here. 
And this year will be the first 

286
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,440
year that we're actually going 
to go because my mom's in town 

287
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,240
and we were like, that will be a
fun thing to do with my mom. 

288
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,480
You know, it'll be it's not too 
super expensive. 

289
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,640
And this year, near and dear to 
my heart, has always been 

290
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. 
Yeah, the the claymation version

291
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,800
of Rudolph the Red Nose 
Reindeer. 

292
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,120
Essentially, I have all of the 
Rudolph characters in stuffed 

293
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,520
form sitting upstairs right now 
in our loft. 

294
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,440
Yeah, so since you brought it 
up, I just, I do want to mention

295
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,200
it because if you're looking for
something non expensive to do 

296
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,480
very holiday theme, maybe you're
you're staying at Dizzy, maybe 

297
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,960
you don't have a park, you know,
park Pass or whatever that day. 

298
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,560
It's like 30 bucks a person or 
so. 

299
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,080
It's called ice. 
It's at the Gaylord Palms Hotel 

300
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,800
Convention Center. 
And every year they pick a 

301
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,480
different like movie theme. 
It's usually it's a movie theme,

302
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,520
a Christmas theme. 
And they it's just this giant, 

303
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,840
you know, and we'll know more 
after we go. 

304
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,440
But it's just like all these 
really cool giant ice sculptures

305
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,080
and they have actual sled riding
and just all kinds of really 

306
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,880
cool things. 
So look it up in the past, some 

307
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,480
they've done, you know, like 
Charlie Brown, Peanut Elf, Elf, 

308
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,080
A Christmas Story, The Grinch. 
So they've had a lot of really 

309
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,600
cool ones. 
But yeah, this year is Rudolph, 

310
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,320
which is very, very special to 
Paul, so. 

311
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,360
Well, if you yeah, if you see me
on Facebook or Instagram this 

312
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,480
time of year, you'll realize 
right away why. 

313
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,160
I mean, I am. 
My profile picture changes to 

314
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,600
the Bumble on November 1st. 
It has for the past 10 years and

315
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,520
it will continue to do so 
forever and. 

316
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,160
Did. 
Speaking of, did you see the 

317
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,640
giant bumble they have at 
Lowe's? 

318
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,960
Yes, I saw the giant bumble. 
Here's my problem, Jeff. 

319
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,120
It's not just the bumble, it's 
the entire you can you can get 

320
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,320
like an entire scene. 
I think Cornelius is in there 

321
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:06,160
and everything. 
And my issue is what do I do 

322
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,839
with it after Christmas? 
Do I do I just keep it set up in

323
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:12,480
my garage? 
Actually it's not a terrible 

324
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,319
idea. 
Maybe I could pay it mission and

325
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:15,319
then. 
Wait, wait, wait. 

326
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,400
Are these inflatables or are 
these like? 

327
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:19,880
No. 
No, these are animatronics. 

328
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,839
These are. 
And. 

329
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,599
Bumble himself is. 
He's taller than your garage 

330
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,520
door for sure. 
That's so disturbing. 

331
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,760
Yeah. 
OK. 

332
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,520
This is why people in Florida 
have storages. 

333
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,160
I'm yeah, I'm dying to go this 
year. 

334
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,360
We're we're going to go as well.
Why we're going with my mom, we.

335
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:39,680
Should all go. 
Tag along but just. 

336
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,240
Give me a date. 
We'll be my mom's coming to town

337
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,440
too, so maybe it'll be a mom's 
trip. 

338
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,200
Mom fence and they. 
And they and you get to wear 

339
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,880
winter coats there too. 
Yeah, they give you like the big

340
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,520
like parkas that you got to you 
put on so you don't phrase. 

341
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,920
Yeah. 
Can I just bring my own winter 

342
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,040
coat? 
Do they make do they do they do 

343
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,320
they pass them out? 
Because most Floridians don't 

344
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,800
have those anymore. 
Yeah. 

345
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,160
I don't, I don't know, find out.
I know maybe maybe it's like 

346
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,680
bowling shoes, like you have to 
get what they have there and you

347
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,160
can't bring. 
They spray it with that same 

348
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,920
spray after everyone's used to 
they will. 

349
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,880
Especially after that guy, when 
that guy takes off a coat, 

350
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,640
they're going to like, burn it, 
I think. 

351
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:27,840
My, my DVC at Disney holiday 
tradition that we've really 

352
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,400
created since we came down here 
has been going around to all of 

353
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,640
the different Disney Vacation 
Club resorts. 

354
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,160
And I remember doing that 
actually before we ever moved, 

355
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,880
we were down here for a trip in 
December and we did make it a 

356
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,440
plan one day. 
We didn't have any parks planned

357
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,040
and we made it around to all of 
the different resorts and it it 

358
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,760
just makes you fall in love with
these properties even more, let 

359
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,840
alone the fact that each one 
typically has its own special 

360
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,680
treats that you can purchase. 
That's the one part. 

361
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,640
It becomes a little bit of an 
expensive adventure tree. 

362
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,440
Brownie on a stick. 
Decide to buy something at each 

363
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,800
place now. 
I am saddened that we will not 

364
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,080
be having the Gingerbread house 
this year at the Grand Floridian

365
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,960
that that will be sad because my
favorite is always the bag of 

366
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,720
mixed German assorted 
gingerbread treats that they 

367
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,720
sell at the gingerbread house. 
But I hear that they might still

368
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,000
be selling some of. 
The treats. 

369
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,520
In the stores there. 
So I'm excited to maybe still be

370
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,120
able to grab that. 
But even I know we talked about 

371
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:35,880
Beach Club and Boardwalk. 
They have little gingerbread 

372
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,800
setups and they always have a 
little place that's selling some

373
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:44,880
hot cocoa or some, you know, 
spiked specialty drinks and all 

374
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,800
of these. 
Resorts always had something. 

375
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,880
Riviera even has some specialty 
things in the cafe there that 

376
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,560
they put out for the holiday 
season. 

377
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,320
So it's just so fun to see how 
each resort celebrates. 

378
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,080
And I know Amy talked about this
and I I can't play it on this 

379
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,360
show, but we did have a listener
reach out to us recently and 

380
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:13,880
sent me via e-mail a link to the
holiday music at the Polynesian.

381
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,320
So that'll be playing throughout
the Krieger household this year,

382
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,600
because I think we talked about 
that on a recent show and Amy 

383
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,120
was forgetting what it was. 
So thank you they. 

384
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,320
Play it so much. 
Thank you. 

385
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,000
But each resort has its own kind
of holiday theme music music. 

386
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,880
So I think we're going to carve 
out a day this year to make sure

387
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,480
we go around and do that again. 
We previously did that. 

388
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,560
I know Jeff joined us. 
We actually as part of our Give 

389
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,480
back November campaign several 
years ago now we're calling that

390
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,160
Keys to kindness. 
We did like a resort marathon 

391
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,880
kind of thing. 
But so Jeff, maybe we, we won't 

392
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,520
do a resort marathon this year, 
but we, we might still do a 

393
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,040
little video as we, as we go 
around the, around the resorts. 

394
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,400
And since I mentioned it, keys 
to kindness that is head that is

395
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,120
going on throughout the entire 
month of November. 

396
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:07,160
If you didn't catch our episode 
about the amazing ways where you

397
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,860
can buy a raffle ticket to join 
us for our group cruise, buy a 

398
00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:13,080
T-shirt or any of those things, 
head to 

399
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:20,720
keyordervacations.com/kindness. 
Derek, give us something that's 

400
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,120
not Disney or or DVC related. 
Maybe a tradition you started 

401
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,600
with the kids or the family. 
But I was just ready to go 

402
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,600
because I just thought of my 
next one that is Disney. 

403
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,400
So can I do a Disney one because
it's fresh in my head, Yeah. 

404
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,760
Yeah, I'm not even going to ask 
you questions anymore. 

405
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,680
I'm just going to say Derek, he.
Doesn't call the rules. 

406
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,600
Now I got a pivot. 
I'm too old to pivot. 

407
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:45,000
Fine, we'll do another round. 
We'll do another another round 

408
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,080
of the World of Disney DVC. 
OK, thank you. 

409
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:52,080
So this was a new tradition and 
it's not even really ADVC one. 

410
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,840
This is a new one that Annie and
I discovered a couple of years 

411
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:00,440
ago is we had in December. 
We had a dinner in like an early

412
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,280
afternoon dinner over at Tony's 
Town Square. 

413
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:10,240
But the kicker is we sat outside
on the patio and that has become

414
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,080
a tradition that we are doing 
every single year. 

415
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,880
We're headed back to stay at the
Wilderness Lodge, I think on 

416
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,040
December 1st, and we we're going
to pop over to the Magic Kingdom

417
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,320
and go eat at Tony's. 
However, the kicker is again, I 

418
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,360
will refuse to eat inside at 
Tony's because I don't like it. 

419
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,560
There's nothing nice about it 
whatsoever. 

420
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,000
But outside during Christmas, 
you're lit right next to that 

421
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,520
tree. 
You've got the holiday music. 

422
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,040
You can get a glass of wine or 
you can get a beer. 

423
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,000
The food tastes infinitely 
better than it does if you were 

424
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,640
just five feet eating inside 
that restaurant. 

425
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,920
Eating on the patio is so much 
better. 

426
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,160
So, so if you haven't done it, 
go sit on the balcony or patio 

427
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,040
there at Tony's, Don't go inside
and wait for it. 

428
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,480
It has become one of our 
favorite holiday traditions is 

429
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,320
just eating there, looking at 
the trees, seeing the music and 

430
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,040
then kind of just strolling 
around looking at at the 

431
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,880
merchandise and then heading 
out. 

432
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,080
So Tony's Town Square patio. 
Highly recommend it. 

433
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,760
That's funny because I saw that 
book on My Disney Experience 

434
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,520
because I'm connected to Annie. 
And I was like, I was like, oh, 

435
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,920
there's Derek. 
He's probably going to sit on 

436
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,640
the patio again. 
Like I I thought about that. 

437
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,840
Yep. 
And, and the good thing is, you 

438
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,880
know that Annie booked it 
because I don't know how to use 

439
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,560
that. 100% she did, yeah. 
After Oktoberfest, you're no 

440
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,640
longer trusted to do anything 
technologically. 

441
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,800
I wish, I, I wish there was a 
viewer that was like standing 

442
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,880
nearby as we all entered Epcot 
that day during Oktoberfest, 

443
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,560
because it was like, you know, 
Amy was, it was Derek's mom 

444
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,400
bringing him into the park. 
Something didn't work properly. 

445
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,680
So she had to she. 
Had to pass ticket right here 

446
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,800
and then they're like OK, well 
he needs a park pass. 

447
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,200
Like, Oh yeah, I'm sorry, we 
didn't. 

448
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,280
They got they, they took very 
good care of them. 

449
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,120
And then and then we had to 
bring all of these plastic beer 

450
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:00,760
steins in. 
And Derek was like, should I 

451
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,080
come out and help you? 
And I'm like, by no means am I 

452
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,080
letting you leave this park now 
that you're in it. 

453
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,640
We're not dealing with that a 
second time. 

454
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,080
Amy, what is another Disney or 
DVC tradition that you might 

455
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,280
have? 
OK, so we'll, we'll say Disney. 

456
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,040
I love going to the festival 
holidays, going around to Epcot.

457
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,280
I think, you know, everyone 
talks about the tree at Magic 

458
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,560
Kingdom, but I actually like the
tree at Epcot a little better. 

459
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,360
And we have some really cool 
pictures that I had noticed that

460
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,520
when I was going through my 
phone camera of you and me with 

461
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,160
with that tree. 
But I love going through the 

462
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,400
festival holidays, the different
countries. 

463
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,120
I like how they have the 
different presentations, you 

464
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:48,680
know, in in the different 
pavilions and, and I like just 

465
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,320
all the little festival, the 
holiday foods. 

466
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,280
I think what you'll notice from 
a lot of locals is that we love 

467
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,760
both Festival of Holidays and 
the Arts festival the most 

468
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,920
because the the it's. 
Cooler, yes, and that is that. 

469
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,240
Makes the food that they serve 
at these events more accessible 

470
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,360
because no part of me screams 
food and wine festival have some

471
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,920
udon noodle soup. 
And stand in line and this and 

472
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,720
it's just the scorching sun. 
So do you like the cooler 

473
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,160
festivals? 
That is accurate. 

474
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,880
And then there's also the cookie
stroll. 

475
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,520
So you can essentially collect 
cookies along your way around 

476
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:26,800
the world. 
That's fun. 

477
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,880
We've also. 
It's just pretty, you know, 

478
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,240
Epcot's always decorated. 
We've talked about going to beer

479
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,120
garden because Jeff's Amy wants 
to face off again in a beer 

480
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:37,360
Stein drinking competition. 
And they decorate that. 

481
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,000
But they, they decorate that for
Christmas and they, they do a 

482
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,120
couple extra little musical 
shows and numbers that are 

483
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:45,360
Christmas themed. 
So those are all and. 

484
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,480
You love the cookies, FSL the 
holidays. 

485
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,800
I love all cookies. 
Let's just let's just preface 

486
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,800
that unless, unless it's a 
pizzelle, I do not like a 

487
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,080
pizzelle that has that black 
licorice. 

488
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,880
Anise, yeah. 
I was going to not say it 

489
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,120
because I feel like I was. 
That is the worst. 

490
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,280
Other other terms, but that is 
the only. 

491
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,960
That's what it tastes like. 
Only cookie. 

492
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,560
Yeah, it does taste like the 
other word, but not a fan of 

493
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,880
those. 
But I do enjoy any other cookie.

494
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,200
So if you're looking for, you 
know, if you got extra cookies 

495
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,400
and you want to send them our 
way, you know just that. 

496
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,400
OK, Speaking of traditions, I 
want to, I want to know. 

497
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,920
So my mom makes like 20 kinds of
cookies for Christmas. 

498
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,680
And when I was a kid, I just 
thought that that was what 

499
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,640
everybody did. 
I thought that was so normal. 

500
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,640
It's like 20 types. 
And I'm not. 

501
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,080
I don't even think I'm 
exaggerating, Paul. 

502
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,840
You're not. 
And what's funny is that. 

503
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,600
At least I think. 
She goes, I'm going to cut down 

504
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,240
on the number of cookies that 
I'm making this year, but as the

505
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,080
season progresses, it's like, 
well, but so and so likes this 

506
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,200
cookie and I always make that 
for them. 

507
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,200
And and so I don't blame your 
mom for that. 

508
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,080
I feel like she because she 
always gives these out as. 

509
00:26:58,120 --> 00:26:59,760
She does. 
She wants everyone to have like 

510
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,960
their favorite cookie. 
As giving them as gifts, she's 

511
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,400
making sure that that person 
that gets them has their 

512
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,960
favorite cookie as part of them.
And I get rewarded by care 

513
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,840
packages sent in the mail to 
Florida with cookies or for the 

514
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,400
fall. 
I had this this package that had

515
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,720
a jug full of Paul's Omnom Fall 
mix, I think it was called. 

516
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,880
Writes on. 
It but it was like a trail mix. 

517
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,320
And it's funny because she knows
I don't like it, so she just 

518
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,920
writes Paul's Omnum. 
And I omnum numbed it all the 

519
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,040
way up so it's it's all omnum 
gone so. 

520
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,320
Jackie, I like oatmeal Raisin 
and snickerdoodles. 

521
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,000
She. 
Definitely makes that meal 

522
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,360
Raisin. 
Oatmeal Raisin is already on the

523
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:44,200
list. 
I'm not sure. 

524
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,080
I don't involve snickerdoodles 
are. 

525
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,960
My my favorite cookies that she 
makes are she makes a lemon pie 

526
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,880
bar and I like, I like the 
little strawberry cookies that 

527
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,480
she makes. 
All the cake ones, yeah. 

528
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,520
I always like spritz because 
they taste like almond extract. 

529
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,280
Like 7. 
Layer 7 layer cookie is always a

530
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,480
good choice. 
He's just good. 

531
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,440
He's gonna be this. 
Is gonna name all the cookie 

532
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,920
from. 
Now on it's kind of like, but 

533
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,720
during during Forrest Gump when 
they're talking about all the 

534
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,960
different types of shrimp, I'm 
just going to start just the 

535
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,160
rest of the show, I'm just going
to not contribute. 

536
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,600
Just name random cookies so. 
We're not hungry at all. 

537
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,800
I know. 
And it's actually, yeah, it's 

538
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,560
earlier than normal for us 
filming this film in this 

539
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,800
episode. 
So, you know, we're we're going 

540
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,880
to be eating earlier than normal
for us. 

541
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,680
You mentioned festival of the 
holidays. 

542
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,440
I'm excited to for us to go back
to some of the other parties 

543
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,840
this year, but I will take this 
one and make it not Disney or 

544
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,040
DVC related, but I'll keep us in
the theme parks. 

545
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:54,440
And I am wearing my Universal 
Studios Spirit jersey for the 

546
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,600
holidays tonight for a reason. 
And there is nothing that 

547
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,720
screams holiday season for me 
like going to the Universal 

548
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,880
Orlando Resort, going to 
Universal Studios Orlando and 

549
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,240
watching the Macy's parade, 
getting some of the holiday 

550
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,400
treats that they have available.
They have a couple different 

551
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,280
food booths that they that they 
have. 

552
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,560
And also going to the Holiday 
Tribute Store. 

553
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,480
Yeah, seeing Earl the Squirrel. 
I don't know why, but the it's 

554
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,000
the music. 
I think the music but the the 

555
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,040
parade is really cool too. 
But it it is the music and it's 

556
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,800
just it's almost like get your 
like emotions going. 

557
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,480
And I feel the same way to me, 
like when I think about, oh, 

558
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,880
having fun, enjoying the 
Christmas season, like part of 

559
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,480
me is transported back there in 
front of that giant tree at 

560
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,080
Universal, walking through the 
Tribute Store, you know, 

561
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,840
listening to that music, 
watching that parade with, you 

562
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,640
know, they do like a Macy parade
with actual balloons. 

563
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,440
Balloons. 
Yeah. 

564
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,560
With the big balloons. 
Now, obviously not as huge as 

565
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,440
the ones you see on Times 
Square, but they're pretty good 

566
00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,400
size. 
They're impressive. 

567
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,120
They're impressive for, you 
know, for a theme park. 

568
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,560
And they do that every single 
night. 

569
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,720
So it's not just, you know, a 
one time deal. 

570
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,280
They do right every night. 
Yeah. 

571
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,720
For the for the season. 
Unless there's unless there's 

572
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,480
wind. 
We did experience that one time.

573
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,920
Right. 
So what kind of music? 

574
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,240
What? 
What kind of music? 

575
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,120
Is it because you said you love 
the music? 

576
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Is it original music or is it? 
Like, yeah, so I've looked for 

577
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,800
it in so many different 
capacities and it doesn't. 

578
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,480
It exists. 
So like, the only way I can find

579
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,400
it is like finding a YouTube 
video where someone has filmed 

580
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,760
the parade. 
But it's dumb. 

581
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,920
I was. 
Like trying to hum it. 

582
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,800
I was like Nope, I cannot hum it
no matter how much I hear it in 

583
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,800
my head. 
That was it. 

584
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,480
He had it. 
If I get a copyright strike 

585
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,440
because I just sang that song, I
swear. 

586
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,120
But yeah, so yeah, it's it's 
it's the it's an original theme.

587
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,600
Nope. 
So it feels, you know, it just 

588
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,320
feels so magical. 
And Santa comes down, Santa Jeff

589
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,240
comes down and he lights the 
Christmas tree every night and, 

590
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,160
and. 
You gotta find Earl the Squirrel

591
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,000
and. 
Find Earl the squirrel on the 

592
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,480
tree. 
And Earl typically does have 

593
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,600
meet, meet and meet 
opportunities. 

594
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,920
But yeah, I don't know, like 
that is something I know that we

595
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,720
will go back and do it again 
this year. 

596
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,960
I'm also thinking you're you're 
disappearing from me for a week 

597
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,080
to go up north for Thanksgiving.
And Jeff, I might call you up 

598
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,640
and we just may go like where 
your where your Santa costume 

599
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,120
and I'll wear my missus costume 
and missus we'll go. 

600
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,360
We'll go to Universal together. 
That's cold. 

601
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,320
Yeah. 
That really was a fun event. 

602
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,040
You guys invited us to go last 
year. 

603
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:41,040
I've never been to universal at 
Christmas time and it it is very

604
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:46,680
special it they, they do just a 
phenomenal job up there. 

605
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,760
I spent way too much money. 
It's because you guys kept 

606
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,640
making fun of my hoodie. 
But anyway. 

607
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,120
And you still kept it. 
I did still have it. 

608
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Jeff, give us another DVC or 
Disney. 

609
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,040
Amy kind of stole mine. 
I was going to say festival, the

610
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,600
holidays. 
I just love the treats. 

611
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,760
I love the kitchens that they 
have, believe it or not. 

612
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,640
And I said this last year and I 
think it's because I always 

613
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,880
forget and I just looked to see 
if there was availability. 

614
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,920
I've never been to the 
Candlelight Processional and 

615
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,640
I've. 
Oh no. 

616
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,600
Yeah, and I, I missed the 
opportunity. 

617
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,000
Looks like most every day it's 
sold out. 

618
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,440
So next year that's happening. 
But yeah, I love Epcot. 

619
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,800
I like, you know, they make 
Spaceship Earth look peppermint 

620
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,120
Y, you know, with the red and 
white, you know, candy cane Y, 

621
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,880
whatever you want to call it. 
It's just, it's my favorite park

622
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,640
at Christmas. 
I do like Magic Kingdom as well,

623
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,280
but we're not doing the 
Christmas party this year. 

624
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,840
We decided to skip it and do 
Jollywood. 

625
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,960
So it's going to be a different 
Christmas for us at Disney 

626
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,600
because we always, always, 
always do Mickey's very Merry 

627
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,360
Christmas party. 
This will be the you know what's

628
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:51,960
even you know. 
What's even crazier to think 

629
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,400
about is that before this video 
goes up, we will have been to 

630
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,400
the opening night of no, not 
Jollywood, but Mickey's very 

631
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,440
Merry Christmas party. 
I forgot. 

632
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,600
We were going to that. 
Yeah, OK. 

633
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,760
I was thinking, I was thinking 
that we were only going to 

634
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,320
Jollywood, but I forgot about 
that. 

635
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,200
And today I saw a list of all 
the cookies that they were 

636
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,040
giving out. 
Like I looked at the active 

637
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:14,600
flakes. 
They're. 

638
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,840
Doing some different. 
And there's some unique ones. 

639
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,840
And I said to myself today, oh 
man, I'm sad we're not going to 

640
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,720
that. 
And I forgot that we were. 

641
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,920
We are. 
So yeah, Amy and I at the 

642
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,480
opening night of Mickey's very 
Merry Christmas party. 

643
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,560
So we're bringing I'm. 
Super jealous. 

644
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,360
I'm so mad that we didn't buy 
tickets. 

645
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,200
We'll be bringing you all along 
so check out our DVC fan YouTube

646
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,520
channel where a lot of you are 
probably watching this show if 

647
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,560
you want a little recap of our 
night at the the Christmas 

648
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,280
party. 
But it's it's exciting that 

649
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,360
that's so close now and then 
this Mötley Crüe is headed to 

650
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:55,120
Jollywood Nights and that is, I 
think, the premiere party that 

651
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,480
Disney really puts on. 
I'm. 

652
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:57,440
So excited. 
I don't know. 

653
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,440
Yeah, I bought. 
I bought a new dress for it. 

654
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,160
I bought a new T-shirt for it. 
That's gonna be hilarious. 

655
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,800
Oh my goodness, that's that's 
what that T-shirt was. 

656
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,560
For it'll go under my blazer. 
So. 

657
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,000
I will dress up a little bit, 
but. 

658
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,400
Wait, am I supposed to be 
dressed up for this? 

659
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,960
Yeah, totally. 
I have no idea. 

660
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,000
I have no. 
Idea I just wear your 

661
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:18,920
sweatshirt. 
That's fine. 

662
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,639
Wear that sweater. 
Just wear it really. 

663
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:23,120
You can be comfortable. 
I like to dress up because I 

664
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:25,320
think that there's some really 
cool photo OPS. 

665
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,840
So I actually do wear a dress. 
But some people it's it's very 

666
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,040
mixed crowd. 
So you've got people that are in

667
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,760
the, you know, like Hollywood 
kind of dress. 

668
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:34,840
Dressy. 
Glamoury. 

669
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,560
Let's see glam. 
But then you've also got like 

670
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,520
families wearing matching 
pajamas and you've got people 

671
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,199
wearing, you know, comfortable 
stuff. 

672
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:43,800
So so you won't be out of place 
no matter what you wear. 

673
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,880
I bet your friends at 
Roosevelt's will find you a 

674
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,000
wonderful. 
Yeah, Can you, can everybody 

675
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,440
just make a promise right now? 
Because you know how much I love

676
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,240
these private events. 
Don't make me wait like 2 hours 

677
00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:00,920
in line for like some rare photo
with some character from like 

678
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,000
1927. 
Just don't make me do that. 

679
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,840
I don't want to do hours long 
wait for any kind of, I will go 

680
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,360
explore other stuff for you. 
But I think that there's like 

681
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,320
super rare characters there. 
And I remember reading reports 

682
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,480
someone's like, Oh yeah, the 
wait wasn't too bad. 

683
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,600
It was like an hour and a half 
for like some character. 

684
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,600
I don't want to do that. 
I, I will take you away and 

685
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,120
we'll find a holiday drink or if
holiday snack to go go try but 

686
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,440
I'm pretty sure that that Jeff 
here on this call is going to 

687
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,960
want a picture with a certain 
Chewbacca if. 

688
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,000
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

689
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,760
So what is it that Life Day 
Chewbacca will be doing? 

690
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,440
Is that like meet and greet? 
There's not enough time on this.

691
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,680
Show it's like snuggle talk, 
only for Star Wars. 

692
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,720
You know, yeah, basically, it's 
funny. 

693
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,920
I think the last show Amy kind 
of acted like she knew more 

694
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,960
about Star Wars than Jeff did. 
Now we're realizing anything. 

695
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,880
Yeah. 
Realizing that wasn't really the

696
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,920
case. 
Oh, what reindeer is that that 

697
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,520
you're now holding? 
Jeff Dash? 

698
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,280
Is that a new? 
That sounds like a reindeer 

699
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,560
name. 
Does sound like a reindeer name.

700
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,840
On dash? 
Sure, dash you. 

701
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,000
Do he is nicknamed Dasher at 
Christmas time for sure. 

702
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,160
Does he have little ears? 
He doesn't. 

703
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,320
We should make that happen 
though. 

704
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,720
I will. 
I can make that happen. 

705
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:21,840
I'll find some ears for Dasher. 
Perfect. 

706
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,680
We got three giant reindeer, but
they don't fly. 

707
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,560
They just lay in their beds and 
sleep most of the time. 

708
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,040
But all right, let's, let's go 
back around the room here 

709
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,080
another time and talk about kind
of I just want a general holiday

710
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,920
tradition, something that you do
with your family. 

711
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:40,320
I'm glad you want to participate
in this question now. 

712
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,320
Derek, go ahead. 
Yeah. 

713
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,880
Now I will because. 
I got. 

714
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:47,880
The other one, yeah. 
So ours is not very, you know, 

715
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,840
probably unique, but there's 
always a certain list of holiday

716
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,200
movies that you have to watch. 
That to me, nothing better, 

717
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,880
especially as you get older and 
like, you know, you realize, 

718
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,280
like, you know, maybe your kid 
is off to college and he's home 

719
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,600
for the holidays, sitting around
on the couch watching your 

720
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,720
classic holiday movies that you 
feel like, you know, you can't 

721
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:10,440
get through the season without. 
And for us, for me, and I've 

722
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,800
said it on another show, you 
know, love, actually, I have to 

723
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,840
watch that movie. 
That movie makes me so happy and

724
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,000
gets me in the perfect holiday 
spirit. 

725
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,960
Of course you got Christmas 
vacation that I like, I don't 

726
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,880
love, but I like it. 
But my kids love it, so I'll 

727
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,640
watch it and It's a Wonderful 
Life. 

728
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,240
Are those like that? 
I just love watching those. 

729
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:33,040
You know, when you got like a 
fire going or you know, it's at 

730
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,800
night time and you got your 
blankets and of course the tree 

731
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,680
is decorated. 
You've got to have the tree. 

732
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,080
So I don't even know how Jeff 
does it. 

733
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,280
Waiting so long to how do you 
watch? 

734
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,880
How do you watch holiday movies 
without your tree up? 

735
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,320
That sounds so weird to me. 
But yeah, holiday movies, you 

736
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,160
have to watch them. 
How do you do it, Sam? 

737
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,400
I know it's not that I don't 
want to. 

738
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,800
It's not. 
That's why. 

739
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:00,000
You guys got a gang up on her 
because we also don't start 

740
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
watching holiday movies until 
Christmas. 

741
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,400
So we have to cram a lot in a 
very short period of time and 

742
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,520
this year is gonna be worse cuz 
we're gonna be on a cruise for a

743
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,960
week. 
See, I've lived that though, and

744
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,000
I. 
Used to be like that. 

745
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,800
When Amy was a teacher, we used 
to always Christmas could not 

746
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,720
start until she went on holiday 
break, which no one else in the 

747
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,320
world knows what that is because
you're not a teacher. 

748
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,440
If you're a teacher, you know 
what holiday break is. 

749
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,920
It's that two week period 
between, you know, Christmas and

750
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,400
New Year's that you get. 
But we weren't allowed to do 

751
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:32,880
anything until that point in 
time. 

752
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,360
We weren't out. 
Like it was just there was no 

753
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,400
festiveness whatsoever. 
And then it was just like trying

754
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,120
to cram it all in. 
Whereas like, yeah, we're going 

755
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,800
to have the, you know, the trick
or treaters are going to be 

756
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,200
knocking on our door on Friday 
and and, you know, there's going

757
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,680
to be Christmas music playing 
and, and we're. 

758
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,840
Not that crazy that is not 
happening. 

759
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,400
It's happened before. 
We are there any of our outside 

760
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,120
stuff out for that reason? 
I didn't want to seem crazy, no.

761
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,760
But this tree came in the mail 
today. 

762
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:08,640
It is true we got two of those. 
And a free tip that we always 

763
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,400
play this music anyway in our 
house is just go to YouTube and 

764
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,880
don't do like a fire log. 
Like you can just put on like 

765
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,800
background music for basically 
any season that there possibly 

766
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,280
is. 
And especially for the holidays,

767
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,000
like you could have it play like
old holiday music from the 1940s

768
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,400
or 1950s with like different 
scenes. 

769
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,280
And it's just basically like 
that's our soundtrack that we 

770
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,760
always have. 
So whenever you log into our 

771
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,560
YouTube ads, then must be 
nothing but suggestions of 

772
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,840
different like music channels 
that you. 

773
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,880
Harkins back to your younger 
days, right? 

774
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:48,160
In the 1940s, yeah. 
Jeff, when you're allowed to 

775
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,640
celebrate Christmas and the 
holiday season because Amy 

776
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,920
finally lets you, you know what,
what, what's one of those things

777
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,400
that you guys are always doing? 
What are you doing? 

778
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,720
I think the biggest 1. 
Derek stopped talking. 

779
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:05,320
It's my turn. 
Santa's talking, Derek let him 

780
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,640
talk. 
One of the biggest things that 

781
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,120
we do is when we do get around 
to actually decorating and we do

782
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,440
the tree, we always try to do 
the tree as a family and we put 

783
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,720
all the decorations up. 
Then Amy goes and fixes it and 

784
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:20,640
makes sure that, you know, it's 
all symmetrical. 

785
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Whoa, while we're decorating the
tree, sorry, I just dropped a 

786
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,800
phone on my dog and the 
microphone went crazy. 

787
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,040
It's time to call this a night. 
But no, we decorate the tree and

788
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,280
we always watch Christmas 
vacation while we decorate 

789
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,880
that's and drink eggnog. 
That's just kind of like our 

790
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,440
kickoff to the season for sure. 
But then we also have I have a 

791
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,800
spreadsheet of our favorite 
Christmas movies and every night

792
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,560
we do a random like dice roll to
see which movie we're going to 

793
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,360
watch that night because we have
so much to do in a short time. 

794
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,920
Love Actually, Derek is 100% 
right. 

795
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,320
That is, bar none, the best 
Christmas movie on the planet. 

796
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,280
We don't watch it. 
We don't, no. 

797
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,160
Come on, love. 
We don't watch Love Actually, 

798
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,960
and we don't watch It's a 
Wonderful Life. 

799
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,240
I I'm traumatized. 
I. 

800
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:11,360
Haven't watched It's a Wonderful
Life for a long, long time. 

801
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,320
That's. 
I'm traumatized by it because in

802
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:18,400
high school I ran Sound and 
Lights for we did the musical 

803
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,600
version of of It's a Wonderful 
Life. 

804
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,680
And so I had to live it for 
basically like 3 months 

805
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,680
straight. 
And so yeah, I feel like that 

806
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:33,960
just I saw enough of it. 
I'm good, Amy, what is one of 

807
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,440
your that one? 
Doesn't make our rotation 

808
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,280
either, unfortunately. 
What is one of your favorite 

809
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,240
movies that we watch one of? 
Our favorite movies, White 

810
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:42,200
Christmas. 
Yeah, I love White Christmas. 

811
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,280
Yeah. 
And then, oh, I forgot. 

812
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,280
I meant to mention this last 
year when we were talking about 

813
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,280
this and I, after the show was 
over, I was like, how did I 

814
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,600
forget about that? 
Because it's newer. 

815
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:56,440
But I love the movie Spirited 
and Paul and I, Apple TV both 

816
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,720
love the soundtrack. 
So if you've never seen it, it 

817
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:02,080
came out a couple years ago. 
I'm I'm probably going to get 

818
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,560
some flock for this. 
I've never been a huge Will 

819
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,760
Ferrell fan. 
I'm just, that's just not the 

820
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,320
comedy that I usually go for. 
He is phenomenal in this movie. 

821
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,960
It was one of his best. 
It was one of his. 

822
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:18,800
Performances, I think best yes 
yes and it was filmed throughout

823
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,000
the pandemic So what they were 
dealing with when they filmed it

824
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,840
for for how great of a movie it 
is it's. 

825
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,320
Amazing, Yes. 
It's such a good movie. 

826
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,000
So that's one of my new, newer 
favorite movies. 

827
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,480
But I've always loved like 
Charlie Brown Christmas and 

828
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,880
Rudolph and White Christmas. 
I'm trying to talk Jeff Haslam 

829
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,840
here, Jeff Santa Santa Jeff into
our our work holiday party that 

830
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,440
all of us are going to go to 
this year for key holder 

831
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,640
vacations. 
The theme is White Christmas and

832
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,080
so I'm trying to get Jeff to 
maybe do one of the one of the 

833
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,840
dance numbers with me while at 
the party and dress up in that. 

834
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,920
You don't have to. 
Try very hard. 

835
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,960
We just got to lock in and start
rehearsing. 

836
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,160
We can do this. 
Yeah, get you a little like 

837
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:05,560
Flappy. 
How? 

838
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,720
Many times have we sung in this 
show so far. 

839
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:09,400
I feel like it's at least three 
or 4. 

840
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,960
If you want to call it singing, 
I don't know about. 

841
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,160
That don't know. 
Next year we should do a DVC 

842
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,800
fan, start our own DVC fan 
Christmas tradition where we all

843
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,080
get together and it could be 
extended DVC fan like some of 

844
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,600
the moderators, you know, Jeff 
and Dan, obviously. 

845
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,120
But let's all bring our own 
recipe and we'll all have dinner

846
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,480
and make our own thing and sit 
around and watch whatever 

847
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,360
Christmas movie we want. 
I love it. 

848
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:34,640
Fun. 
Love. 

849
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,640
It well, I mean, most of you are
already coming to my house for 

850
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:41,240
New Year's, so and Derek, you're
now officially invited if you 

851
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:42,680
have nothing to do on New Year's
Eve. 

852
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,760
So we're all going to sit 
around, have terrible drinks 

853
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,200
that Jeff makes and. 
Happened one time. 

854
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,760
I want to blow your mind this 
year with this drink. 

855
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,680
I want to. 
I fully anticipate. 

856
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,880
He's already, he's like enrolled
in a mixology class. 

857
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,320
He's like, I'll show them. 
We have so many small little 

858
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,760
traditions that we do throughout
the season and each one is is 

859
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,040
kind of special. 
I will say one that for me has 

860
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,520
emerged in recent years is we 
kind of every year we are going 

861
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,160
up north to visit our family for
the holiday season. 

862
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,400
We stay in a cabin at at a 
resort. 

863
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,880
We bring the dogs with us and 
the ability to celebrate the 

864
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,400
holidays with our dogs. 
I think that is very, very 

865
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,040
special to both of us. 
But on the same level, it's 

866
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:40,080
equally special for me when we 
come back home after after doing

867
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,280
that trip to kind of have our 
own little Christmas Day here 

868
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,560
and make sure the doggies, you 
know, wake up in their own house

869
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,360
and have have treats and toys in
their stocking. 

870
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,160
And even Amy gets a couple 
couple fun things in her 

871
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:58,880
stocking also every year. 
So that's very special to me and

872
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,800
just the ability to sit around 
and, and you know, watch, watch 

873
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:10,040
the movies and oh, the treats, 
the coffee I have, I bought my 

874
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,160
holiday coffee two weeks ago 
because Harry and David started 

875
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,480
selling it. 
They have a holiday blend that 

876
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Harry and David that I buy every
year in the K-Cup form. 

877
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,000
And so already enjoying that 
drinking out of, you know, 

878
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:28,360
holiday themed mugs already so. 
What's that treat that Amy got 

879
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,760
us all last year from Trader 
Joe? 

880
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,760
Jingle Jangle. 
You're Amy Jingle jangle. 

881
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,440
Yes, we we took. 
That stuff is crack, man. 

882
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,880
We took that bin tin. 
It was like a tin that you guys 

883
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,840
got us at Jingle Jangle 2 
Wheeling with us and our 

884
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,960
families was like so good. 
You got to bring this every 

885
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,840
year. 
Yeah, so. 

886
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,160
Good. 
And we've never, we've never 

887
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,560
lived as as close as we do now 
to a Trader Joe's. 

888
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,280
So like the fall season was 
extremely expensive and 

889
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,880
dangerous and I can only imagine
what the holiday season is about

890
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:02,720
to. 
Feel cannot wait. 

891
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,760
Yeah, you got some. 
What is stuff? 

892
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,840
What is Jingle jet? 
Is it like peppermint bark? 

893
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,960
No. 
It's it's all chocolate you. 

894
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,840
Know covered everything. 
Chocolate covered almonds, 

895
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,720
Chocolate pretzels, Oreo small 
pieces of chocolate. 

896
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:18,000
Bar. 
Yeah, this. 

897
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,560
All kinds of things. 
Chocolate. 

898
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,680
Chocolate. 
It's so good though. 

899
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,000
We're hungry. 
Talk slow. 

900
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:34,320
OK, I, I want to talk about a A1
just because I think that maybe 

901
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,600
and I'm going to grab something 
that's behind me too that I 

902
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:45,040
thought about because I think 
maybe the ruk community will 

903
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,840
maybe know a little bit more 
about this. 

904
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,480
But Paul and I for some reason. 
You talk, I'll grab. 

905
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,120
OK, thank you. 
For some reason, I want to say, 

906
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,640
Oh my gosh, it's probably been 
at least 10 years now. 

907
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,240
We came across our first John 
Lewis Christmas advert. 

908
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:06,640
So John Lewis, I believe, 
correct me if I'm wrong, is like

909
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,560
more like a depart, a really 
popular department store in the 

910
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,720
UK. 
And every year they put out what

911
00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:19,400
I think is the most amazing 
Christmas commercial, their 

912
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,000
holiday advert. 
And it's just always so good. 

913
00:47:23,720 --> 00:47:26,280
And every year we're always 
like, OK, what's the new John 

914
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,520
Lewis, you know, Christmas ad? 
And if you've never seen them 

915
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,480
before, let me tell you, like 
when you're done watching this 

916
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,320
show, get on YouTube. 
And I'm going to tell you right 

917
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,960
now, the top three, my top 
three, look up John Lewis, 

918
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,520
Buster the boxer. 
That's that's probably my third 

919
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,720
favorite John Lewis the bear and
the hair. 

920
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:53,360
Amazing. 
But the best one ever is called 

921
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,000
Monty the Penguin. 
And that is the greatest 

922
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,520
Christmas ad I've ever seen in 
my entire life. 

923
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:05,040
And I fell in love with with 
this Christmas commercial, this 

924
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,680
Christmas advert so much that 
year that Paul found this the 

925
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:14,680
actual stuffed animals from from
it and had them shipped here 

926
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,920
from the UK. 
And this is Monty and Mabel from

927
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,080
Monty the Penguin. 
So if you have a chance, watch 

928
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,440
those 3. 
Buster the boxer, the bear and 

929
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,840
the hair will make you cry. 
And then Monty the Penguin will 

930
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,840
make you cry even more. 
So those are all the most 

931
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,000
amazing Christmas commercials. 
I can't wait to see what John 

932
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,680
Lewis comes up with this year. 
But yeah, I want to know, like 

933
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,440
people in the UK, do you guys 
love them as much as we have? 

934
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,840
Always. 
We've been loving them for 

935
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,240
years. 
They all pull at the 

936
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:45,800
heartstrings. 
They they did a recent one too 

937
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,760
that was Elton John related. 
Yeah, I remember that. 

938
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,920
Was that the man on the moon 
one? 

939
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:50,680
Yes. 
OK. 

940
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,360
So but it is like I we always 
keep refreshing YouTube this 

941
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,840
time of year waiting for that 
that. 

942
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,800
Commercial. 
Then they're on with the dragon.

943
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,000
It was like in Scotland or 
something. 

944
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,800
They're so cool. 
So watch them get on. 

945
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,560
They're all on YouTube. 
If you're you're one of our UK 

946
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,240
listeners. 
But then I want to know. 

947
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:10,960
You got to report back. 
If you've never seen them, you 

948
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,880
got to tell me what you thought.
Yeah, then Jeff, Derek, you guys

949
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,960
got to go watch them right after
the show and tell us how much 

950
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,080
you cried so. 
OK, will do. 

951
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,840
Perfect. 
Any other holiday traditions any

952
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,960
of you want to kind of throw out
there before we wrap up 

953
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,560
tonight's show? 
Go ahead, Jeff. 

954
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:29,760
Go. 
No go. 

955
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,200
Santa first. 
Always Santa first. 

956
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,640
That's how you get on the good 
list, Derek. 

957
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,040
Not something that you know a 
lot about like. 

958
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:41,520
Mine is Disney and tradition 
related, but you know when we 

959
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,240
had the kids and the grandkids 
once Christmas morning was over 

960
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:47,800
and the initial flurry of 
wrapping paper and the kids went

961
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,400
off to play with their toys and 
whatever. 

962
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:55,360
I don't think I've missed it in 
the last probably 15 years, but 

963
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,800
I always turn on the Disney 
Christmas parade on ABC. 

964
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,120
I haven't ever missed it. 
It's always just a nice way to 

965
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,680
ease into the day. 
Back in Utah, once that initial 

966
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,960
flurry of wrapping paper was 
over, we had to load up all the 

967
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:17,520
gifts and it was a mad dash of 
grandparents and parents and we 

968
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,720
just had to make the rounds. 
That's just what my family has 

969
00:50:19,720 --> 00:50:24,040
always done. 
So it was while everybody was 

970
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,560
getting ready, I would just sit 
there with my, you know, 

971
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,560
chocolate, my eggnog or whatever
and watch that parade. 

972
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:35,640
It's just it's, I know they film
it in like August, but so. 

973
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,600
That's a good one. 
That's a good because Jeff, I, I

974
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,520
feel the exact same way. 
I mean, this is way before the 

975
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,240
Internet. 
So being like a Disney fan, I 

976
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:48,040
would watch it not for the 
parade, not for the singing and 

977
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,440
dancing or anything else. 
It's if they were going to show 

978
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,560
something from upcoming 
attractions that were coming to 

979
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,920
Walt Disney World, that would 
get me so excited. 

980
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,680
To be able to see because. 
Again, it's before the days of, 

981
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,040
you know, daily photos from bio 
reconstruct that's over at the 

982
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:06,320
park and show you everything 
else. 

983
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,360
It was like this was the time I 
get to see what's coming. 

984
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:14,080
New to Disney and. 
That that takes me to a holiday 

985
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:19,240
season tradition that Derek, to 
your point, as unfortunately it 

986
00:51:19,240 --> 00:51:24,760
has died and part of my soul has
died with this on Thanksgiving 

987
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,880
morning. 
My tradition for so many years 

988
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:33,640
was to get up super early. 6 AMI
would go to when we were in West

989
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,480
Virginia. 
It was like the local sheets and

990
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,720
I would get us coffee and drinks
and something to eat for 

991
00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:41,400
breakfast on Thanksgiving 
morning. 

992
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,680
And I would get every newspaper 
that they had in terms of like 

993
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,160
if they had the Pittsburgh Post 
Gazette, I'd grab it. 

994
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:53,520
I'd grab the local newspaper 
because each one was a metric 

995
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,480
ton of ads and we would. 
Take we would. 

996
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,880
Get back home. 
Amy would wake up, we'd We'd 

997
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:05,080
drink our coffee, have our 
treats, read the ads and watch 

998
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,880
the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. 
Since I have moved to Florida, I

999
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:16,120
have tried to go to my local gas
station, Wawa, you name it, 

1000
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,040
every morning. 
And I, we have unfortunately and

1001
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:24,640
I think reached the point in 
which ads on Thanksgiving for 

1002
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,800
Black Friday are no longer 
they're. 

1003
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,680
All digital. 
They're all digital, 

1004
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,040
everything's online now, but 
wow, like. 

1005
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,160
You know, and then we would 
bring those newspapers to my 

1006
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:37,360
mom's house and everybody there 
would look at the ads together 

1007
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,760
and like, oh, look at this. 
Did you see that? 

1008
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,400
You had to map out your shopping
like, because I used to go with 

1009
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:45,680
my stepmom every year because I 
was, I, I got divorced from my 

1010
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,840
first wife really early on. 
And so I was kind. 

1011
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,720
I wasn't a single dad, but when 
they were with me, I was the one

1012
00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:53,840
that did Christmas, you know, 
and, and so. 

1013
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,480
I think it's a Black Friday. 
And I mean, not to go on a 

1014
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,160
tangent, but I think it's a big 
miss that we went in that 

1015
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,360
direction because it got me to 
buy things that I never think I 

1016
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,680
would have bought. 
And it's, I'm not, it's not like

1017
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,840
I'm going online trying to 
figure out what you got. 

1018
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,320
You know what, what that Black 
Friday deal is like one year 

1019
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,600
Kohl's had Jennifer Lopez sheets
on sale and we went out on Black

1020
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,440
Friday and bought the heck out 
of some Jennifer Lopez. 

1021
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,320
She got theirs. 
They were got the Jlo. 

1022
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,240
Sheets. 
The best sheets ever. 

1023
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:29,880
They don't make them anymore. 
Best sheets ever and yeah, we 

1024
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,360
rope dropped that stuff. 
I know, I thought, I thought 

1025
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,600
Paul was going to have to throw 
down for these sheets. 

1026
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,800
He. 
Wanted to throw that we were, we

1027
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,200
were ready to get them. 
But like those are the type of 

1028
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,120
things that like you wouldn't 
like otherwise. 

1029
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,440
I'm not, I'm not looking online 
to try to find myself some 

1030
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,480
sheets. 
I'm just buying sheets when I 

1031
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:52,080
need sheets. 
Yeah, man, I I really miss that.

1032
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:56,200
And I'm probably going to go out
again on Thanksgiving morning to

1033
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,520
Publix and see if they have a 
newspaper and be disappointed 

1034
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,480
yet again and come home and 
drink my coffee and eat my donut

1035
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,560
and be sad. 
Yeah. 

1036
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,760
In Utah, you had to subscribe to
the paper. 

1037
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:09,880
It what you couldn't go to the 
gas station and buy them. 

1038
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,200
It was a it was a thing that 
came in the paper they delivered

1039
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,920
to your house. 
And so everybody in Utah would 

1040
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,760
subscribe to the Salt Lake 
Tribune, the Deseret News, like 

1041
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,200
November 1st to make sure that 
we got back and then. 

1042
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,000
Their subscription. 
November was the best month of 

1043
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,080
paper sales. 
Yeah, Yep. 

1044
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,000
Yeah. 
These papers are a dying, a 

1045
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,920
dying thing, So. 
But yeah, that was always 

1046
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,280
special. 
That was always like the kickoff

1047
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,480
to the holiday season, and it 
was always fun. 

1048
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,400
Then we'd take them over to your
mom's house later that night. 

1049
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,960
Yeah, we'd all look through them
and get ideas for Christmas. 

1050
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:43,440
Yeah, I missed that. 
Yep. 

1051
00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:46,840
You'd look at Walmart and go, do
I really need an eighth TV? 

1052
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,760
No $100.00 so maybe. 
Just have that back up in the 

1053
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,200
garage just in case. 
TV Well, I think what what is 

1054
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,040
always fun for us with shows 
like this is hearing your 

1055
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,680
traditions, hearing how you 
celebrate the holidays, whether 

1056
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,000
it be Disney or DVC related or 
just that family tradition that 

1057
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,360
you celebrate every single year.
Please let us know in the 

1058
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,680
comments of this video or in our
DVC fan Facebook group because 

1059
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,600
it may spark one of us to try 
that and add it to our holiday 

1060
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,920
traditions. 
Or hopefully maybe one of the 

1061
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,400
things that we mentioned tonight
sparks a new tradition that you 

1062
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,840
and your family start to 
celebrate the season. 

1063
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,760
But no matter how you do it, I 
know we're not done with the 

1064
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:33,040
year and I know we're not nearly
at Christmas at this point, but 

1065
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,640
I'll wish you all a very, very 
early. 

1066
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:40,360
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah,
Happy Holidays, and we will see 

1067
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:49,440
you next Monday. 
What's wrong with the the stack 

1068
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,040
of that? 
It's like flap.
