He also made us wooden swords and shields. We have never had tissue paper wars, but the cardboard tubes were often used for swords - they worked great. If you ever eat at my house when we have baked potatoes, be warned that there could be a foil-ball war. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like you had a good Christmas with your family!Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-3126326746253386752008-12-27T21:40:00.000-06:002008-12-27T21:40:00.000-06:00Lou, I've been pretty busy with family for the pas...Lou, <BR/><BR/>I've been pretty busy with family for the past week -- and everyone was wanting to use my computer ("for just a few minutes") including the four year old, so I just now got all caught up reading your posts for the past week. All the Christmas stories were fun to read.<BR/><BR/>Oh my gosh -- the shoot-em-ups sure brought back some memories of Christmases and other family get togethers long long ago. Did your family every make those "guns" that shot rubber rings cut from old tire tubes -- those things could hurt but none of us dared to be a baby and admit pain. In later years, my kids and nieces and nephews looked forward to the gift-wrap-paper wars every Christmas Eve. I think they looked forward to throwing those paper wads at each other as much as they did opening their gifts.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for some good memories, Lou. Your holiday sounded like a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>~SharonTowandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245494480579308875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-88949115119357434542008-12-27T08:21:00.000-06:002008-12-27T08:21:00.000-06:00Piper, I don't shink sho!FF, beatemups sound like ...Piper, I don't shink sho!<BR/><BR/>FF, beatemups sound like they would go great at our house.

That would have never gone over in my house growing up. We weren't allowed to have any kind of guns--even toy ones. My cousins gave my little brother a cap gun for Christmas one year, and my mother took it away from him and hid it in her closet. I found it several months later and gave it back to him. She was not pleased.<BR/><BR/>Now, when I got to college, we had a few of those shoot em ups in the dorm hallways! The guns that shoot the discs work better than the ones that shoot the plastic bbs.Becky Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901212090175780900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10997257.post-76730040368428194062008-12-26T12:26:00.000-06:002008-12-26T12:26:00.000-06:00Christmas shoot-em-ups!
