Make Christmas Magical For Your Kids With Portable North Pole!

Every year my kids look forward to watching videos from Santa created especially for them. Since my son Luke has a birthday on Christmas Eve as well, he loves the special birthday video Santa sends him each year. I look forward to their faces as they watch and hear their names, see their house, their photo and photos of what they want for Christmas. The videos are well made and believable. It is a magical thing and I look forward to creating them each year with Portable North Pole.

Last year we tried the calls too and were very impressed at how well they worked to remind our kids about some behaviors they needed to work on. A call from Santa can be quite a powerful wake up call!

It is an online platform used by Santa and his elves to send personalized video messages and calls to the people you most care about anywhere in the world.

All Aboard! The Polar Express as the Saratoga & North Creek Railway rolls out of the station bound for the “North Pole!

 

All Aboard! The Polar Express comes to life this holiday season as the Saratoga & North Creek Railway rolls out of the station bound for the “North Pole!” Come early and climb aboard with your family to cozy-up and enjoy our festively decorated vintage train cars. Dancing chefs deliver hot chocolate and a cookie to each guest to savor while music from the Polar Express movie plays en route to the North Pole. Make sure to have your tickets handy, because your conductor will be by shortly to punch each child’s ticket. Before arriving at the North Pole, the iconic book, The Polar Express is read as your Chef turns the pages to share the beautiful illustrations in the original book.

With the station far away, The Polar Express magically arrives at the outskirts of Santa’s North Pole village, where Santa Claus himself and his elves joyously welcome the train! As you stay comfortably settled and warm in your seat, Santa and his helper elf board the train! During the return trip, Santa will greet each child with his signature holiday spirit and the first gift of Christmas: a bell cut from his sleigh. It is said that only children and those who still believe can actually hear the bell ring. Join in the singing as your Chef or Conductor lead Christmas caroling on the 30-minute return trip. For those wanting the magic to last or to do a little Christmas shopping, visit our gift shop in the station for special Polar Express gifts and merchandise. Oh, one last thing, children are encouraged to wear their PJ’s; adults who still believe have been known to wear them, too! So, are you coming? All Aboard!

All Aboard the Polar Express is coming to the Saratoga & North Creek Railway, visit https://www.sncrr.com/the-polar-express.html or call 877-726-7245 to climb aboard.

Candle Warmers Santa Illumination Fragrance Warmer Review & Give-Away!!! 3 Winners!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent a cute Santa Illumination Fragrance Warmer from Candle Warmers to review.  I already use and love Candle Warmers Illumination Fragrance Warmers so I was very excited.   This cute little Santa is going to be a nice touch for the holidays.  My little ones thought it was so cute as well.  It came with a pack of Christmas Day wax cubes which smell great.  The Illumination Fragrance Warmer is designed to warm scented oils and wax creating the glow and ambiance of a burning candle while releasing the fragrance. Each style brings a relaxing mood to the room and elegance to any home decor.  Bulb is included and the handy dial switch on the cord makes it easy to turn the warmer on and off.  With little ones and pets around I really like being able to have the smells of scented candles without an open flame.  These Illumination Fragrance Warmers are a safe alternative to burning candles.  Candle Warmers has a huge selection of styles and products and there is sure to be something for everyone.

I have some great news, Candle Warmers is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings and 3 lucky blog readers will win their own  Santa Illuminating Fragrance Warmer.  Thank you Candle Warmers for the review warmer and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Give-Away open to US residents.

Christmas Day!

Well, Christmas Day was a blast.  The little ones were definitely all aglow when they saw what Santa left under the tree.  We, left out some homemade cookies and milk in front of the fireplace for Santa.  The big kids got some nice gifts as well, most of which they opened on Christmas Eve (no fair).  Alexandra got a huge bottle of Chanel Chance, Yankee Candles, Footie PJs, Charlie Brown Christmas hardcover special edition book, and a lot of clothes, plus she is getting new tires for her Rav 4.  Ray got new tires for his car (boy were they hard to wrap), lots of clothes, leather gloves, and other stuff.  Michael got a ton of clothes, hats, gloves, DJ Hero set with the turntable for PS3, some video games for the whole family for the wii, the dance ones that are great for exercise.  Ethan loved the workbench with real working tool sounds and effects, they both loved their Bruder trucks, Zhu Zhu pets were another hit with the kids and dogs alike.  Believe it or not the little ones got so wrapped up in the presents they opened we still have wrapped presents under the tree which they open everyday.  The other big hit was their acoustic guitars and Singamajigs.  Ethan got the Tag Junior reader and books and he really likes that.  Santa brought Mommy a new speedlight for her camera, an extra camera battery, and this neat camera lens travel mug that looks just like a camera lens, bracelet and necklace.  Daddy got a Dallas Cowboys throw, Superman PJs (lol), the new Jimi Hendrix box set (West Coast Seattle Boy), new sweat pants, a mousepad of a favorite picture of him and the little guys, and things I cannot even remember.   Santa also stuffed all of our stockings with goodies as well.  Later in the evening we had a great dinner with a delicious beef roast with organic carrots and fingerling potatoes, a roasted turkey breast, and lots of sweet goodies for dessert.  Later in the evening our cousins stopped by to visit with their two kids.   It was a very long but very blessed day to spend with family and enjoy the greatest gifts of all, each other and love.

The Santa Story

 

Okay well, last Saturday after Jimi got home, Alexandra, Jimi, me, Ethan and Luke headed out to Binghamton to see Santa.  The boys slept on the way and we thought that was great.  Luke did not wake up until we parked at the mall.  We got the twin stroller out and everyone in and all was good.  Jimi got a business call that he thought would take a second but it did not.  So we headed off to find Santa and he was behind us.   Well, we were lucky, there was Santa and no line but we needed to wait for Jimi.  In the meantime I got the boys’ jackets off and washed their faces and then Luke saw his bottle.  He fell asleep the minute we were on the road so he missed his nap time bottle and it would have been no problem but I packed empty bottles since we were picking up milk along the way and well, when we got it Luke was asleep so we just filled Ethan’s sippy cup he had on the way and left the container in the car.  Well, just waking up and wanting the bottle, normally “laid back Luke” started to freak.  By this time Jimi was there, we thought he would just take the picture because Ethan was having a great time with Santa, Santa was singing to Ethan and Ethan was telling him he wanted trucks and a guitar.  Luke wanted nothing but his bottle and so he was miserable and it will look like he is crying because he was scared of  Santa when that is not the case at all.  It is just a case of really bad timing.  The woman who was taking the pictures was not such a jolly elf and so it was really awkward and right after that Jimi ran out and got the milk which transformed Luke into the jolly little kid he always is.  We just could not believe it because it was so  unlike Luke and of all days the day of the picture with Santa.  What can you do though, right?
