Christmas

Christmas wasn’t the same as it used to feel this year it just didn’t have that special thing about it this year it was just a time to relax and receive a few presents. This could be because I am getting older or Christmas becoming less and less a huge event. However it was still fun on Christmas day and those days after, unfortuatly my nephew wasn’t feeling the best and ended up puking his way through Christmas day but hes only 2 and still doesnt understand the whole “Christmas “ thing yet.

As we all know board games have to be played at Christmas and this year was no exception, we broke out the old favorite cluedo and the one I dread trival pursuit. I lost trival pursuit predictably but came 2nd in cluedo but I seemed too cautious as I thought I had the correct murder, weapon and room a few turns before the end but wasn’t certain, ah well there was always the Logo game the family received. My dad and I played the Logo Game and I won just even though quite a few of the brand names and companies were before my time, the next day I got beaten right at the end twice by my mum. I wasn’t too pleased as I was one question from winning twice, the game made me think of the supposed to be finished group board game which we are making for our group project as you move around the board without dice and via a colour question system.  It wasn’t so bad after all once we finished that game we went onto Personal Preference which was seemingly long but fun as my sister isn’t brightest tool is the shed :P. We had to cycle through multiple celebrities until we found a popstar which was famous for a crappy old song 5 years ago or something like that; even Louis Armstrong was apparently the first man on the moon lol.

Moving on from that Christmas wasn’t too bad in the end, I got the new Xbox 360 elite I think its called, the slim 250gb, so im happy with that there seems to be more and more games coming on the consoles than PC these days so I wanted a Xbox as I was familiar with them and was a huge fan of the original Xbox. Being an avid football fan I was given FIFA 11 and one of the best games of the decade according to many reviews Red Dead: Redemption. I was a big fan of the GUN game on the first Xbox so I had a good feeling about this GTA esque Western, that’s it for another year in terms of Christmas. I fully expect the Xbox to be played with but the board games will probably be shut in the cupboards until next year even though I have felt more and more inclined to play them.
