The day after

Its the day after christmas and I am totally shot. We had a great day, it was the first christmas at home with the kids. The grandparents came to our house this year. Our kids got so much shit it is unreal. We only buy them a few things that they really want or need because our parents go all out. So now they have fifty more toys that they will probably never play with. It's all in good fun I guess.

I was putting shit together all day yasterday. These big companies must save so much money by not assemling any of the toys they manufacture. The just manufacture the parts, put them in a box with some instructions that don't really make sense and leave the rest up to you. We were up until 4:30 am on christmas eve putting togethr this play kitchen that we got for our daughter. I think Bob Vila would have had a hard time putting that kitchen together. And I consider myself a pretty handy guy. I mean What the fuck do santas elves do in that shop all day anyways? I guess they all want to be dentists.

But all in all it was a great day. It was awesome to see my son really getting into it this year. My daughter isn't quite old enough yet but she had a blast playing with all the stuff. And of course I ate way too much but that's a given.

I hope all of you out in diaryland had a great holiday and that all your loved ones are safe and sound.
