My Christmas wish came true… not with assembly required was asked for this year.

Now it’s just dealing with my wife, because she turns into a raging bitch anytime she has to be around either one of our families for more than an hour or two. She worse about her family and they’ll be at our house for the next three days. I’m not sure there’s enough bourbon to get me through this.

Assembled one in the dark. I was about a third of the way through with attaching the springs to the outer ring before I realized there was a little tool that came with it that made the process a whole hell of a lot easier

In 1989 I was working inside of Exxon Refinery, my truck was loaded with Christmas toys. I was to assemble them that night. It was a major fire and explosion. I was there for days. Father in Law went got the same toys, assembled them. Days later we got a refund on the toys unassembled.

Actually nothing! Kids all asked for relatively small things. Got bikes and other new sporting equipment the last year or so.

I did one of these a few years ago and it still stands as my least favorite kids’ item to assemble.

It was hours working in a tiny space and I went from fun drunk to buzzed to exhausted in the time it took.

Purchased a Barbie dream house off of Facebook marketplace for 1/3 of what it cost at Target, plus its already assembled. I’m currently enjoying bourbon and Christmas Vacation. Thoughts and prayers for the rest of you though.

Already done. Had 2 of these to do for my twin boys. Wasn’t that time consuming, but there was no way I was waiting until tonight to find out.
