Merry Christmas to everyone here.

I have 4 happy children and a happy wife, so it's a great Christmas so far.

We had a Monkey Bread for Breakfast, and plenty of coffee.

I got my wife a full size wood guitar for her Guitar Hero game, and the World Tour game. I look forward to watching her play and hearing the tunes. I guess it was kind of for both of us, although I don't play the game.

Kids got some cool toys, although only a few. The Lego Duplo block sets were a big hit. Both little ones got trikes like Big Wheels, only they were Diego and Dora. They have been riding them in the addition.

My oldest got an acoustic guitar, and an amp and strings/parts for his electric, so it's been musical. We listened to Twisted Sister's Twisted Christmas CD, complete with the Heavy Metal 12 days of Christmas.

My 10 year old got some blue spy goggles, that's been his favorite. He got some better stuff, but that's the one he likes the bast. Cheapest too, which only goes to figure.

I got some small LED flashlights, one with a lazer pointer and one with a long telescoping magnet in the middle. You can't go wrong giving me a flashlight, I'm very pleased.

I hope you all enjoy the gifts you got and gave, and the people that gave and received.

It's time to go "Over the river and through the woods", and get some grub.

Merry Christmas.

Still recovering from the feast. 'Twas a nice family gathering, wherein everyone contributed to the strain on the table. My youngest brother even made a Figgy Pudding!

" The Lego Duplo block sets were a big hit."

Facts you cnnot live with out knowing.

Leggo's are made completely by machine - raw material in - boxes of Leggo's out the other end.

If all the Leggo's produced were distributed to all the people in the world each person would receive 68 Leggo pieces.

After reading the above two posts, I've decided that Lego should have been the one to buy Dodge. Or GM for that matter.

If I might chime in on the LEGO topic. If all the screams caused by stepping on a LEGO block with a bare foot could be synchronized and sounded at the same time. It would be heard on the Moon. Jim
