Slackmas

Why is Boxing Day called that? Is it after some obscure tradition where we donned boxing gloves and had at our neighbours (under the Queensberry Rules of course)?

Well I’m renaming it Slackmas, after the fact that I have to do feck all today, except work out which leftovers to fed the family, load the dishwasher (and to be fair that could become a new tradition of “Dad doesn’t load the dishwasher today, who can I trick into doing it?”), drink more booze, and decide which Action Movie to watch to give me the illusion of physical exercise.

So happy Slackmas yah little tiddlers.

All hail BOB!

The Star Wars team cautiously make their way across the lounge, lookin for the Death Star plans I got as a present, while Henry plays his new Skylanders game.

Talking of the Death Star plans 🙂

The Force is strong with this one!

So me and Henry finally got to see Star Wars VII The Force Awakens at our local Odeon.  Truly it was Star Wars day for Henry since as well as the film he watched five episodes of the Clone Wars, as well as the introductory film, and wore his Storm-trooper outfit all day. To say he was a little excited would be an understatement.

Henry quote of the day, as the film suddenly came to an end “OH! I’m going to have to wait two years for the next one!” 🙂

The film was absolutely amazing. I loved it and so did Henry 🙂

So result 😀

Nearly there

Well I’ve officially destressed from the day job. Took four days, which is right given the level of nonsense going on at the moment (short version currently being restructured with a good 30% redundancies).

Now getting the family Christmas sorted, as well as chilling out to a bunch of Chinese Hong Kong Action movies after hours (aka Kung Fu Christmas). Oh and me and a very excited Henry are off to see the new Star Wars film this afternoon 🙂
