One Last Post For The Year

This Christmas holiday has gone so very fast I can't fathom it. It seems like just a moment ago we were unwrapping the prezzies and now it's a week later and thoughts are turning back towards the working week. New Year holds no attraction for me whatsoever so we probably won't be doing much. I'm just recovering from a bout of vomitting that took down me and Harriet in the last few days, hopefully the other two have dodged it. Our wonderful Nintendo Wii has sustained so much fun during this week that it's already earned its keep in our house.

Boxing Day

Mary's team were all sick so the gathering at our house was five less than normal. Still, a pleasant time nonetheless. Loads of food and goodies left over, oh well, I suppose I can finish it off ;) Dylan getting into his new Zelda adventure on the Wii and Harriet designing everyone in the Mii channel. Everyone loving the Wii (Rayman was a big hit) although as usual I'm not getting much action. Browsing the internet from the Wii works easy enough although it would look much better on a HD TV!

Merry Christmas!

Lovely christmas morning with all of the unwrapping. The kids loved the Wii, got that up and running and online in no time, real smooth installation. Jacq and I didn't do presents for each other for the first time this year and to be honest, I didn't miss it.
Stayed away from the goodies all morning to clear the way for christmas dinner which was a gorgeous feast. Lots of Wii playing in the afternoon mostly with the Sports and Play titles. Everyone wearing their straps and no injuries to report (although Jacqs arms ached the next day from the tennis!).
My parents came over at 4:00PM for more prezzies, a bite to eat and more Wii play. Even my mom was enjoying having a virtual bowl so Nintendo were right, the Wii IS for non-gamers.

Christmas Tree

Thankfully, this morning I wasn't suffering from the beers the night before, which was a bonus. I got down all of the Christmas stuff from the loft and we set about putting up the tree. Weather was dreadful so we spent the whole day inside. The weekend finished off with another splendid episode of Lost.
