Christmas notes

“Some assembly required.”

Those are the most fearsome words that a parent can hear, sending a frisson of fear down the spine.  OmegaGranny is going to have a lovely pictorial of “some assembly required”.


The Barbie Jammin’ Jeep (”some assembly required”) has a radio.  The radio, when turned on, was tuned to NPR.  That is a Christmas miracle! 


Children of a “certain age” will not wait until mom and dad really want to wake up to dash out into the living room to see what Santa brought.  Santa brought OmegaDotter a wooden Breyer barn (”some assembly required”). 

 

It did not bring the same squeal that the BJJ did, but Spirit is now climbing on the roof of the barn, accompanied by a paint and many neighs, plus the sounds of Morning Edition.


Santa brought me a bunch of 60-minute massages.  Santa was very good!  (NO assembly required, woohoo!)
