Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Big hits here were board games - Stratego, Quelf, Scattergories, and Tipover. The stilts and scooter were in heavy use during game breaks. No snow so sleds are still untried.

Sounds like some of you got a nice white Christmas!

Finding this forum has been a gift to me and my family all year so thank you all and Happy Holidays!

Snap Circuits kept GS10 occupied for a few hours Christmas Eve day, while I worked from home. The Tin Whistle & Fife were received with great enthusiasm and he took both to a family get-together for lunch. He played the Tin Whistle most of the time, he can play some Irish Jig sounding tunes that he makes up. People were genuinely surprised he had just gotten it. Now he's whistling a few tunes while he (im)patiently waits for me to get a space set up for him to start working on his 1000 piece puzzles.

We got the white Christmas that my son hoped for but the big family Christmas get together was postponed so some of the other relatives could get there. My daughter has to go back to Dallas so she will miss it and my son can't miss his 6 hour musical theater rehearsal because his musical theater group will be performing on New Years Eve. One of the songs he is in has not even been choreographed yet and another one has a very difficult dance routine to learn. We already made the commitment to be there so he will have to miss the family Christmas dinner. We are hoping that he can leave for a little the rehearsal for just long enough for him to open gifts with his cousins.
