^ this is Marvin! He's our favourite Christmas decoration, just look at that smile
(this pic is from last year)
Marvin hibernates for most of the year, he covers himself in bubble wrap and sleeps in the large storage cupboard in our bathroom.
During the early months of the year, we sometimes hear him snoring.. Around september we hear little movements from inside the cupboard that indicate he's starting to stir, and by the end of November we can hear rattling around and bubble wrap popping!
Marvin loves Christmas and is very, very excited come December..
Tonight when Mr Summer arrives home, he will find a trail of destruction that shows that Marvin has burst out of his cupboard!!!
The cupboard door is wide open, rolls of wrapping paper have spilled out, the (freshly emptied) bin has been knocked over, and along the landing & down the stairs is a trail of red Christmas ribbon curls that lead into the living room..
In the the living room there are ribbon curls, pieces of mistletoe and celebrations chocolates scattered over the floor!
Marvin is hiding under our blanket/throw, still half wrapped in bubble wrap, with a torn open & tipped upside down box of celebrations, a big bunch of mistletoe, my reindeer antlers headband and.. Our Elf DVD!!!!!!
In our house, December 1st is Elf night! We always watch it, and it looks like Marvin wants to join us (he usually comes out of hibernation the first Sunday of December)
Mr Summer is going to either kill me, or find it hilarious!!!! He gets home before I do
