A Festive Surprise For Nigel from Darrell and Me …..

While Nigel was busy playing with his new Christmas presents, and the turkey cooking in the oven, Darrell and I decided to make an extra special Christmas surprise for the little fella to make Christmas last just a little longer ……
Magic SnowWe wanted to give him a “White Christmas” …. despite our keeping a very intensive eye on all the weather forecasts, it was obvious that without divine intervention it was not going to be a  Christmas of the snowy variety and so to make Nigel’s Christmas dreams come true we availed ourselves some Magic Snow from E-bay.Magic snow.We had already rescued a small, wheeled  cart, which was being thrown out by the Art Department at work for Nigel, into which we decided to put our “snow”, a mobile snow-pit, if you will,  into which we proceeded to add the snow powder and water.  It said on the packet that the said powder would expand by a 100 times, but as we couldn’t imagine what 100 times the test tube container would look like, we just kept adding more and more water and mixing robustly  ……..

    Is Nigel dreaming of a white Christmas?
    Magic snow? It could be something developed by TtS.

    Now that's a fun idea.....trying to think where the best place to keep snow is? fridge or must it be the freezer? Saw a story about a lady who makes miniature real snowmen and keeps them in her freezer! Looks like snow and must have felt like snow.....Nigel will love this festive white Christmas surprise.....will it be more snowballs or a miniature snowman, or just a frolic in the snow?......Lucky Nigel.....happy snow fun....Dianne
