Well, there it went...I heard a big hahwhoomp! And Christmas had come, gone and left a big mess in it's wake. The funnest thing I got was actually for my 3 yr old son, an aircraft carrier complete with aircraft. We spent a long time getting ready for the attack of the mini-robo-sapien, planning our defense strategy and so forth. Then of course the actual repulsing of the mini-sapien took some time, as he kept coming back, despite our knocking him off the deck into the briny sea (he just would not sink) and tying strings around him with the jets then hooking the strings with the Chinook and Apache helicopters and carrying him off, he just kept coming back, grabbing the aircraft off the deck and tossing them into ocean. There was some initial confusion about whose stocking was which, and that caused a fight, but after I threatened (well actually my wife did the threatening, but I was thinking it too) to confiscate all the loot Santa had left, the kids sweetened right up and managed to work out their differences within about as much time as it takes a gnat to contemplate its own existence. I also learned a new and improved means of skinning and cleaning a pheasant, which instead of taking 20 minutes (as before) takes about 2 minutes. I think I could really enjoy shooting animals for food, if they were all so easy to process.
