Merry Christmas From a Long, Long Time Ago...
This year, Yoda substituted by Santy Claus, and Parker got an entire armada of Star Wars vehicles, culminating in a giant Millennium Falcon. The Falcon is based on the original 1970's mold, and suffers all the design flaws of the original: the unwieldy entry hatch, the easily collapsible landing struts, and the hard to close top cover. Nevertheless, they added a great blue LED for the sublight engines, and some great flyby sound effects.After opening the presents, the weather turned even colder, and we got snow flurries. We all went outside for an extended snowball fight, and later went sledding down the parking lot. It was picture perfect.
