Bah Humbug! It's December, again - 4 more days to go

The Force of Christmas


Happy Christmas, may the force be with you. If you are a Jedi, or one practising to become a fully fledged Jedi warrior.

(OK, so this is not a Jedi warrior standard issue helmet)


And so it was, (sounds like the introduction to a Christmas school play) ... 



and, so it was, 
on the fourth day before Christmas,
 in a land, not so far away, and located 50 miles north of the equator,
  two sleep-deprived adults and two teenagers sporting dark circles around their eyes, found themselves in an empty cinema at 10.30 in the morning, 
subjected to annoying Christmas advertisements,
 and customers dancing in ToastBox (a sandwich place) 
because some white haired smiley gentleman had Visa "paywaved" their lunch.

Hiatus while we wait for the overly loud advertisements to finish.

Black screen.

Silence.

No one rustled anything.

Then the familiar John Williams music ...


The rest is history, and obviously, will not be explained for fear of creating a spoiler situation and the resulting negative reviews.

Rather a cool Christmas gift for two boys who don't want anything for Christmas.


DOWN THE CHIMNEY ©

From down the chimney came a call,
‘I think I’m about to fall!’
‘Quick find the trampoline,’ Dad said,
‘In case he hits his head.’



But too late …                                       
                               
                                     First a crash,

And then a sort of lightening flash,
With a smell like Brussels sprout,
The Christmas lights cracked out.


I wonder if Jedi get Christmas presents?

Bah Humbug, we should all move over to the dark side.
