Christmas Eve Building

[biggs682]

We have a little tike's car and a play kitchen to assemble for our grandaughter on Christmas eve , has anybody else got similar jobs to do ?

I have about a dozen presents to wrap for the wife, luckily she wraps everyone else's. Why are most of the presents I buy for her odd shaped and awkward to wrap, or am I just useless at it.

Three kids bikes for me. Expecting them to get up Christmas morning and say they heard Santa swearing downstairs.

My youngest's new track bike to set up and wrap - everything else is done.

Do you think he'll guess what it is when it looks like this:

Mine are old enough to know the facts of Christmas.... said with a bit of sadness, and a bit of relief!! At least I don't have to whisk the parcels away secretly when they arrive anymore! One child's main present was delivered and set up by them a few days ago... hoping that we have timed it correctly for the main day!!

I still have to buy the presents so have no idea if anything will need assembling yet...

A kitchen for the grandaughter? A good job you didn't post this is in SCAP

If that's to me then .... I'm not old enough to have a granddaughter that could cook ... though I guess I am old enough to have grandchildren (gulp!), though hopefully not for a couple more years!

(Actually just done the maths and I could be the grandparent of an adult if I had had my eldest when I was 16!)

To the OP and it was meant as a gentle wind-up to CC in general

@Hill Wimp got it!

And all you've done is make two people feel very old

I don't know whether to like this or not.

....and I could easily be a great grandparent

We are, although TBH Maz already had children when we got together.

I wasn't insulted, my reply was in jest, though it was suddenly a bit surprising when I realised I could be a granny to an adult! (I hit a significant Birthday recently and suddenly I'm ancient)

I had a birthday recently too, not a significant one but another one nearer to decrepitude, getting old is a bit of a bummer.

As a friend of mine says - it's better than the alternative.
