Merry Christmas, Bruce, and to all of our friends here at Ecoustics. Here's to hoping that your holiday is all that you want it to be and that all of your loved ones are safe, healthy, and happy.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all my friends here. I am thankful for so many things and am looking forward to spending ALOT of time with my family.
Finished opening all the gifts here. My living room looks like a toy factory exploded. My son's favourite gift was the guitar and Marshall practice amp :-)
It's important to instill a love of reading early NMT. We cut back on the toys this year (at least we tried too) and focused on a few big things instead.
I am happy to share that this Christmas was overall pretty good. Family got on well minus one 20 minute moment. I can inform I'm a happy owner of some Sennheiser hd 595s, a portable hardrive, richard bransons autobiography, new shoes, odd bits and bobs, some money and some beer. I wish I could afford to give more gifts to my parents and sisters! Maybe next Chrimbo if I land a nice graduate job.

Absolutely, David. My boys are 3 and 5 years old. And we have. We were reading to both boys since they were born and we've been encouraging reading just as long.
They have always had a good collection of books. But last christmas we dicided to reduce the amount of toys and continue to increase their book collections.
Next year it's a keyboard and nylon string guitar.
They already have drum sticks, bongo drums, a tamborine, a harmonica (which my three year old is actually getting pretty good at) and a snare drum.
Of course they also got and have the usual sports stuff. Hockey sticks, pucks, balls, baseball mitts, bats, footballs, soccer balls ...etc.
