The evidence

Well, the Christmas cake is eaten, the snow has melted, the kids are back at school, and I've just cut together all the footage from my secret filming shenanigans. Behold!
A few questions remain:

  • The Wise Men reside in the loft. How did they open the loft hatch? They must be wise indeed!
  • How is it they always know where the manger is? A small internal star? Incredibly precise maps? Sat-nav?
  • Where did the Wise Men learn how to operate heavy (Lego) machinery?
  • Why did the living room camera fail to record? Sabotage???
  • What will they get up to next year?
  • What should I do with this evidence now? They have committed no crime, and to try to stop them would seem (at best) unsportsmanlike.
I'm not sure I have answers for any of these, but if I come up with anything, I'll post it here.

Concern mounts

As Christmas nears, and we plan to go touring the country visiting relatives and the like, I have some concerns regarding certain 'visitors' to the house around this time of year. I refer, of course, to our Three Wise Men from our Nativity set. These fellows, when left to their own devices, can get up to all sorts of mischief. They will use any means necessary to reach the rest of the crew. Last year I found them fashioning a rudimentary belay system to better manage the stairs - as you can imagine, with all the new housemates, I'm a little concerned as to what they'll get up to!
To that end, I'm planning on rigging the house with cameras to catch these 'wise' men red-handed, and hold a formal court proceeding if any property damage should occur. I'll post what I find on here early in the new year.
