Christmas 2012

 Christmas Day 2012 -Happy Christmas Everyone
Or, if you're in America, Merry Christmas Everyone - yet another minor cultural difference that nonetheless causes some amount of confusion when you wish them Christmas tidings

Stocking Time - or the two presents below, the Jacob's Ladder and the Harmonica.  Within a few  minutes/hours guess which one we wish we'd never bought

Becky always happy to get food
 Dan not opening presents as he's stuck in Tintin


 I kept this up for 20 minutes solid - honest
 New Kettlebell - Andy getting me to keep the pose for rather a long time
 Great present from Jon and Elsa, Jenga Star Wars Angry Birds
 Thanks Nicki and David
 Not happy about the roast lunch then Becky
 Mmmmmmmmmmm


 Brisk walk after lunch on the lake - Andy had turned back by this point - I think it was well below 0F with the wind chill and only about 10F anyway (-12C)
 Don't break the ice





 Then a few games of Telestrations - not a new concept but it's done well and some of the results are pretty funny.  Here's our favourite from the day, starts with Whoopee Cushion
 So now it's turned into Bomb, I get that

 Becky unfortunately thought it was Bob - so this is what Bob looks like apparently
 Then I finish off with Goblin - Whoopee Cushion to Goblin in 3 guesses

Onto Boxing Day and it's off skating at Centennial Lakes



Too full on Christmas Day for any pudding even!   But it went down well the next day.  No added alcohol at all.
