Looking Back... December 2008

Before all those diets start...

Sylvia is plowing through all our old photos as she doggedly, determinedly works on getting our archives organized.

She makes discoveries.

Every so often I hear her laugh.

It's a great laugh. Sort of like a bell pealing.

Or a gong.

Today, it was the discovery of this photo that got her going.

"What's this?!"

Ah, the "old timers" will remember the Christmas Dinners once served year-round at Santa Claus Land.

We'll have to scan one of the old menus and post it in the new year.

This next photo elicited another howl.

Anyone recognize this mystery dessert?

The recipe is featured on page 211 of the Santa Claus Museum Cookbook.

Joy to the World

A wonderful grandma named Joy sent us this story and photo:

Attached is a picture of my granddaughter. She is two and is in love with Holidog. (I only got this picture by telling her I was sending it to Holidog).

She was having a little trouble with the idea of "potty training" and I had the idea of telling her that Nana couldn't take her back until she could use the potty and go like all the big people at Holiday World.

Well, believe it or not she looked at me and said, "Me go Holiday World, ride roller coasters." And she has not had one accident since!

As she goes into the restroom she continually says, "Holiday World ride roller coasters!" It's so funny! I'm sure the kids who do the Holidog get very tired and hot, but I hope they realize what an impression they have on the young kids.

Keep up the good work and Nana will be there the first day with all the grandkids! (Pray for me). HAHA

Nana, please tell your cute little granddaughter that Holidog is very proud of her and can't wait to give her a big doggie hug next summer.
