I don't know how to break this to you, but here are yet more DIY Xmas decorations.
Two of them date from last year, so you've probably already printed them, cut them out and thrown them away, but just so you don't feel too short-changed, there is one NEW design too: a Xmas Bauble featuring what W describes as 'A wonderful Golden Anteater Angel!'
I'll leave it for you to judge just how Wonderful it is – and please don't send me the bill for the printer ink you must have gotten through in the last few days.
On the plus side, this is the LAST DAY you'll be getting home-made decorations!
As Xmas grows ever closer the residents of Chez New Dad will doubtless be sending out their Xmas Cards, worrying about whether they names appear on the Naughty or the Nice List, and generally waiting impatiently to hear Sleighbells In The Snow…
Not especially Xmassy as far as I can see, but today's Free Download is a Xmas Spaceman designed by Wilson and a Xmas Robot designed by Nërp.
Nërp has pointed out that you could use the Xmas Robot as a Place Setting Name Card at meal times if you were to write people's names on the little screen, but neither he nor Wilson can think of any specifically Xmas-related use for the Spaceman figure beyond Wilson's (totally unsubstantiated) assertion that 'Nothing says Xmas like an Anteater in a Space Suit!'
Today's Xmas Decoration to Make and Treasure is a variation on the tyrannical Elf On The Shelf – except it's an Anteater!
The instructions must surely be annoyingly familiar by now:
• Print it
• Cut it out
• Fold it where shown
Then when it's complete (unless already consigned to the Waste Bin)
• Sit it on a shelf
• Reposition it every night…
I am happy to say that Elves on Shelves were not a thing when I had young children – I don't count Wilson as a young child because, although young, he is old WAY beyond his years…
