The stand-off with the hubby is over. He's gone back to work and is not under my feet with his man-cold. And he redemmed himself yesterday when he helped me move some things into the garage and complimented my cooking 
Today I'm loking forward to playing this new board game with him when he gets home from work. It's called Bizzerwizzer. It's a new game, I believe, and I could only get it from Amazon. You can play a sample of it online, which we did and got hooked. Basically Bizzerwizzer means "know-it-all" in Dutch, I think. And the game is like trivial pursuit but with about 20 categories and you can swap categories with other players. It's more interesting and more fun than I've described it. Check it out.
The other game we'll be playing during the Christmas season is Pictureka! Which is great to play with the kids. Even our 2 year old is into it. It's basically a spot it first game with different challenges; big gameboard tiles with small pictures and you have to 'picture hunt'.
I'm getting very excited about Christmas. I'm looking forward to cooking some new different things, playing new games and some good oldies, listening to music, watching movies, playing carols on the piano and enjoying having my family around. Oh and watching the Dr Who and Eastenders X-mas specials...haha
Happy X-mas peeps....lol
