Well we waited for it all year and Christmas is nearly over already! OK it carries on till Twelfth Night but the main event has unwrapped itself for another twelve months. Still I hope everyone enjoyed themselves yesterday and tucked into some delicious left-overs today for a second round of Christmas Dinner! Yum! But does it really taste better than the first time round?
The biuld-up to Xmas is always special and Moonbase was no exception. A few things I recall from late December include [top L to R], vintage Xmas Cards found in Oxfam, my two fave Cards this year - one Birthday [from our Daughter] and one Xmas [from our Toad] and a battery-operated Santa I picked up in Headingley for £2! He rings that bell like a madman!
The big day itself was it's usual mix of magic and mirth with the decorated tree at it's centre. Having thought I was on the Naughty List I was pleasantly surprised to find that Santa SWORD had actually visited us all the way here at Moonbase [I did leave some oxygen tanks out for the Reindeer!]. A couple of prezzies from my friend Ferryman even came wrapped in his own C21 style paper! [above]. Along with scarves, socks, incense sticks and choccies, here's a snap of the tree with my SWORDy/ Sci Fi gifts nestled beneath. I know the piccy is fuzzy but I kinda like what it did to the lights!
...and a close-up reveals: three lovely TV21's from our Daughter, Sci-Fi Art book by Steve Holland from my Missus, two horror books from my Missus, two VHS/ Grindhouse books from my Missus and a Hoover XL9 and Golden Astronaut Lift Loader from Ferryman. Arto also sent me two wonderful pieces of vintage space ephemera [not photographed]. Thanks guys!
Pictures of your prezzies/ tree/ wreath/ decs/ food of whatever type would be welcomed!
Whatever you do [and what do you do?] have a great Boxing Day.
