Today is Boxing Day, which we never get around to. We have great plans to put on boxing gloves, watch a "Rocky" movie or maybe play a boxing video game on the Kinect. But that never happens, mainly because:
a). We have new toys to play with.
b). We're pretty wiped out.
So "Boxing Day" is again down for the count. But "Brave" is certainly in. Madison and Daddy had some major X-box time, playing this one game pretty much all morning. And then some.
It's actually a better game than I thought it'd be, as it is in fact a co-op game: Merida is assisted by a willow of the wisp. So, she's tromping through the forests and snow and cliffs of Scotland with her bow and sword, accompanied by this blue glowing thing that slaps around anyone that tries to mess with her. That's Daddy, the blue glowing thing. Call me a wisp!
The tradition for December 26th is this: stay in your pajamas, and play with toys all day. I'm okay with this. Mommy, Daddy and Madison basically hung around the house all day, and never left - not even to go outside and get the mail. It was so cold out there anyway.
We decided to keep the whole Christmas thing going further, by continuing to play Christmas music - and watching a few Christmas movies as well. We were delighted to hear a local radio station still playing Christmas tunes, and so from this point on the thinking is that we'll make Christmas much more than a one day event. Consider it a three-day thing, sort of like the old feasts they'd have in the Bible. Speaking of feasts, there are still plenty of leftovers - and don't even start about the candy! We have so much chocolate in the house right now. We'll smuggle a lot of that into the movie theaters this week - our big plans for the this winter break are to go to the movies a few times. Yep, it's that dramatic. Earlier, we spoke of going to Florida or elsewhere - but the best plan of action for December 26th is to do exactly what we're doing now: nothing. No piano practice, no homework, no work, no housecleaning, no nothing! We'll just sit around in pajamas all day and play with our new Christmas toys!
