Well, today Moonbase Junior has gone back home to his parents, who sadly had to work yesterday. His departure signals the end of our Christmas really. Okay, the tree and the decorations still hang around the place but the childish fun has finished. These festive reminders usually linger till the 6th January.
As for Christmas itself, it was an intimate and small family affair here on the Base. Lots of feasting and prezzie giving, party games and jokes, and some telly watching. The thing I remember the most are the family meals round the festive dining table: Christmas Dinner, Boxing Day brekkers, Christmas Dinner round 2 on Boxing Day [leftovers] and evening cheese and crackers.
Moonbase Junior made sure there was plenty of laughter around the place offering us all cockroach chewing gum and searching for spiders with his new torch!
His fave prezzie from us was Magic Tracks, a fantastic clip-together track system with really cool and powerful battery-powered cars with flashing lights. I once bought in an old 80's set like this years ago so its good to see the design lasting so long. I'll film it in action at some point.
You can get an idea of what can be achieved with these sets when you watch this uber-neat video of the luminous mega-version of magic tracks in all its glory, which we may well have to get now! Do you like it?
I hope your Christmas was enjoyable too readers and that you've survived in one piece ready to face the as yet unknown but hope-infused future that is 2020.
Glad you had a great Christmas Woodsy! Like yours ours was small and intimate and pretty much all about the grandbaby! My lone present was a plastic candy cane filled with M&M's hahahaha hey, can't go too wrong with an edible present :-) Haven't blogged much of late, our computer broke and we're now waiting for its replacement to arrive! Anywho have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love MnMs Ed! Nice prezzie. Hope your Granddaughter had fun. Its a festival for children really. Hope the new PC works out. Always takes me ages to get used to new laptops. A happy new year to you and yours Ed and a guten rutsch.
