Christmas is just over three weeks away … say it with me … ACK! I’m actually not in terrible shape though. Christmas cards ordered, stuffed, and sealed as of weeks ago. Nick put the Christmas tree up by himself, and completely decorated it. I’m done with shopping for my nieces, Mystic’s daughter, and a few odds and ends for my sister and the kids. Not an overwhelming to-do list, but ask me in a week or two and see if the answer changes. Or if I’ve made any progress on that list.
Now for the favorite topic these days … gifts. When the folks at Hasbro asked if I wanted to check their KRE-O set, I was intrigued. It looked an awful lot like legos, and we’ve never been a legos household. Oh there was a brief spurt, but it didn’t take hold. As I hear about legos taking over my friends’ homes, and them stepping on the little pieces in the middle of the night, I’m actually ok with that. But the set they wanted me to look at was a Transformers set. And, of course, not legos. Just similar. You can build either a truck or a robot from the same set. The same 90 piece set. I swear when I see “90 pieces,” my eyes glaze over and I want to push it aside. But this time, we dug in.
