This neighborhood turkey says, “Hello!”
An image of an inflatable holiday yard decoration that looks like a Turkey sitting on a pumpkin, with a baby turkey nearby. There’s a banner that says “Happy Thanksgiving” draped over the pumpkin.

We’re grown adults. We do not need A Christmas Story inspired plush of the Raising Cane’s puppy dressed in a bunny onesie and with Ralphie glasses.

ALSO ME:

This is a slight Disneyland deep-cut. Cleaning out our spice cabinet and found this beauty. 🚝

Went to Cheesecake Factory last night and we noticed that the decor changed. Apparently it happened overnight (or 2) about 3 months ago.

Even Cheesecake is going through some design “generic-fication”

It’s hard not to walk by an adoption pop up and not want to bring all the puppies all home.

Wait…
Are these the same costumed characters as from the original Disneyland / WDW Christmas Parade(s)? 🎄

On this date in 2010 we made a pilgrimage to the very first Disney Store at the Glendale Galleria. Unfortunately, it had already been converted to the “Millennium” design. Was never a fan of this look. But hey, it was still in its original location.

Such a great show.
