Merry Christmas 2020, Day 3
Merry Christmas to all once again.
It's nice that Christmas is a season, not a day.
Of course, we had our gift exchange on Christmas Day. We thought everything had arrived by the 25th. We were pleasantly mistaken.
A day later, the Santa UPS sleigh deposited a large box on our doorstep. It was sent by Grandpa Danny.
The package arrived late on the 26th. After breakfast on the 27th, the three of us gathered around the other end of the dinner table to see what wonders G'pa Danny had sent. His gifts are always thoughtful and fun.
Xavier, being Danny's only grandchild, was highly favored.
Xavier had a "stocking in a bag" and two wrapped packages. He opened his stocking first. In keeping with a Braaten tradition, there was a clementine to eat.
Xavier and I built the Lego light-up car later in the evening, turned out the lights in the house and played with it nearly :30 minutes.
Xavier got a new pair of binoculars, something he has needed as his last pair have seen better days.
The second package contained a remote-controlled car, one promising the ability to scale walls. Xavier squealed with excitement.
Although the wall-climbing feature did not work well on our orange peel texture, the car did well on the floor. We broke out two other RC cars and raced them quite a while.
