"You'll shoot your eye out"... my favorite line from one of my favorite Christmas movies; never did I ever think it would pertain to one of my Christmases, but thanks to the AK-47 BB gun that Mr.London found wrapped and waiting under the tree from Gregory, it did.
While I should be counting my blessings that nobody did actually shoot their eye out, for me, Christmas 2013 will forever be known as the year a BB gun stole Christmas because random shootings peppered the day. And since random shootings peppered my Christmas, I thought it would fitting to have random videos of these shootings, pepper this blog post. You're welcome.

Everybody got spoiled on Christmas morning... Mr. London was scarily happy with his BB gun, Gregory was given so many jackets that he'll never be cold again, and somehow, Mrs. London's presents turned her into Mrs. Moscow.
Dinner was an international affair with three English, three French, one South African, and one American (that would be me), but since Mr.London does all of the Christmas dinner cooking every year, I didn't have to lift a finger for our United Nations feast and got to spend the day doing practically nothing. It was pretty cool, I'm not gonna lie.
And because turkey alone isn't good enough for Mr.London, he made ham and roast beef as well. That along with a bunch of other traditional goodness and some not-so-traditional wine (which was surprisingly delicious), we had quite the scrumptious feast.
I'm no fan of guns but you can send a bacon wrapped turkey my way any time you like. Looks like fun was had by all! (except Gregory's back). Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteOh man - I have never even considered wrapping turkey in bacon. Now I am! It looks amazing!! I love it :) the BB guns look awesome and Mrs Moscow makes me laugh!!
ReplyDeleteThe turkey really is lovingly wrapped in bacon. It's so artfully done! And is that a little flower garnish on its tummy?
ReplyDeleteAh the BB guns! Growing up with ALL boys this brings up Christmas memories for me as well. Except we weren't allowed to shoot EACH OTHER! Damn, you guys play rough.
ROFL, well Mr London is a growing boy you know. As as all his guests now too, obviously ;o)
ReplyDeleteI particularly love Mrs London and the voddie!
I'll have to look at the videos later. My internet speed is at a snail's pace right now. But I have to send the bacon-wrapped to Son's Bride-to-Be. I'm not so sure she's not planning a bacon-wrapped wedding gown. Or My Little Kitty.
ReplyDeleteJust warn Mr London or Gregory to never, ever, take the BB-gun out in public in the US. Possibly even in some parts of France. The police are very nervous these days. (I loved my cowboy pistol when I was a little kid, but its shiny silver-scrolled finish would never be mistaken for the real thing, to my dismay.)
turkey wrapped in bacon, why have I never eaten this before. I think everything needs to be lovingly wrappedin bacon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an amazing Christmas! Bacon makes everything better, especially turkey. I'm slightly confused by the rules of rock, paper, scissors... And are Gregory and Mr. London wearing matching bumder T-shirts? Oh, those guys!
ReplyDeleteWith those big guys, you would need more than one turkey to feed that crowd. Sounds delicious. I am glad you survived the day without anyone getting their eye shot out.
ReplyDeleteAll the weapons make this look like a Texan Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they shot at each other! I don't know much about guns but I assume these ones can't really hurt you unless you shoot somebody in the eye? And what do they say when they play rock, paper, scissors? Glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic spread, and what a merry day. My youngest son is a keen BB fan and is gutted he can't have such a powerful gun (legally) until he is 18. He despises the little Uzi I bought him a couple of years ago. You can get biodegradable pellets on the internet by the way... :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha boys and their toys! I love that they incorporated the guns into a card game. Classic!
