It's Boxing Day, which doesn't necessarily translate to anything here, but we do usually use the day to simply lounge about and play with our new Christmas toys. That we did, especially the new Nintendo Switch that we got. We were playing Mario Odyssey, and Daddy spent much of his time playing a video game character that was a hat. This was a co-op experience, so Madison got to be Mario. Daddy got to be a hat.
Of course, putting it that way doesn't make it sound like too much fun, but the game is just about as much fun as any Mario game has been, and perhaps a bit more: there is a T-rex. Right away, we learn we can play the game as a T-rex during one portion. This is pretty exciting, of course, because really who wouldn't want to play the game as a T-Rex? I hope that's not you, because there was just a little bit of respect I just lost for you!
Seriously though, it's a fun game so far, and given the way we're playing lately, it might be that we see a lot of it this week. It's a great system, one that you can play in bed, and then plug into the television, and so on.
We were going to see a movie today, but at the last minute we were over at a neighbor's house, one who is moving away. The call went out to some of us to come over and grab anything we want from the garage, as they are moving away and they were going to just donate the stuff elsewhere or have it thrown out. It's easier to have us come and scavenge than hire folks to come pick it all up. Anyway, we have some items in our garage now, things we don't necessarily need, but we picked them up for possibly the grandparents or Aunt Shain. We have a few very large boxes of books that we plan on donating to a book store in town, one that uses its profits to help needy families. The remaining stuff that nobody really wants, we'll try and pass off at the usual neighborhood yard sale. Perhaps we can raise some money to pay for a summer camp or something. We'll see!
Anyway, we went nowhere really. Except to that neighbor's house. And to Cascade Falls in the Mario game. Oh, and of course the Kessel System. That would be the one featured in the movie, "Han Solo," the movie we watched tonight. Now that Christmas season is wrapping up, we're allowed to watch all sorts of non-Christmas movies, so we're sort of catching up now on some of the ones we either got as Christmas gifts, or even birthday gifts that we've been waiting to watch. "Han Solo" was good - better than it got credit for. It's not my favorite of the series, but Mommy and Madison really like it. Of course, the characters are classics and they did a good job with that.
We watched that tonight, and started it pretty late - that's why we didn't read as much tonight before bed. It was somewhat of a lazy sort of day that way. We went to bed after reading, quite at rest because we knew we have absolutely nothing on the calendar to do tomorrow. Maybe we'll see a movie, or maybe we'll stay home again. It really doesn't matter. It's a staycation, and we're fine with that!
