'Christmas Morning'

A rather more cheerful offering this Yuletide, after last year's Gloom-A-Thons. It's loosely based on the chaotic Christmases we have every two years at my sister's. Though you'd have to throw in a few more people and quite a lot more mess to get close to those sessions. Even as it is, this one took forever to build. It also suffered the same curse as all my multi-figure images: as time drags on you get less and less fussy about perfecting postures and expressions. I think, though, that only the boy in the foreground has turned out poorly. Incidentally, I am not the maungy bugger in black nursing a hangover. My general demeanour is more like Grandad messing about with the children. Though philosophically obliged to be cynical towards it, I do love Christmas.
