December is flying along at breakneck speed. Why am I not surprised? Christmas is not such a busy thing for me as I don't get into the holiday shopping thing. My family does a really subdued Christmas grab bag that is actually rather fun instead of stressful. I finished up the cookies I intend to mail and have those packages ready to be shipped out today.
On December 4th, I co-ordinated the annual Toy Con Charity Toy
Show. We raised about $180.00 for Children's Treasure Chest for Pediatric Oncology.
This event is always laid back and we had a large number of costumes turn out. I brought two costumes this time as I needed some photos taken of each of them. The Endor costume needed photos for a trading card and the
Rebel Vanguard needed photos to submit the costume. As always, it was great fun and we raised some money also. 
I did a restoration workday on Saturday. I didn't bring my chainsaw as I am really trying to cut back on sawing because of the damage to my hands that has been done already. I ended up leading the workday because the FPDWC employee ended up in afib right before the workday. Everything turned out ok and we got a lot of work done and prep work was accomplished in advance of the Frozen Butts workday when we will likely finish the project there.
I went into Walmart to return something last week when a display of Bluray players caught my eye. I did it...I finally purchased a Bluray player to play my latest (and hopefully final) release of Star Wars. I purchased the Bluray edition the night it was released at the event we did at the Orland Walmart but was never able to play it. This LG Bluray was really easy to hook up and Sunday I watched the first disk that I wanted to see which was the deleted scenes and extra material from the Original Trilogy. WOW! There is so much on that disk! It took me most of the afternoon to get through it all.
I also got to the movies last week on Tuesday to see the latest Eclipse movie "Breaking Dawn". I was kind of a snooze but is a set up for the final installment (which should be MUCH better).
