This is a great time too because there are no crowds this time of year. We live 10 minutes from Universal City which is delightful.

After several years of this, we gave up and now open presents on Christmas Eve. My X-mas present is being able to sleep in on the 25th.

We’re Knotts regulars — generally so many rides that the lines don’t get too long except for Ghost Rider. This is probably one of the best weekends for avoiding crowds. Will get gnarly closer to the holidays.
