Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!
As I write this it's Christmas Eve-Eve. That's right, two days before Christmas.
I have a lot of memories of Star Wars Christmas pasts. From 1978 through around 1983 I was always blessed with new Star Wars toys at Christmas time, be it my "Millennium Falcon Spaceship," the title given to the original Kenner release of the classic starship in 1978, my "Death Star Spacestation", or the Christmas of 1980 when I received my Kenner AT-AT. Those all hold fond memories of my childhood that I still think about to this day!
Steve Sansweet, collector extraordinaire, recently made a blog post of his own talking about all of the great Christmas/holiday collectibles that have come out in recent times and I would like to share that with you now....

With that, I wish everyone the happiest of holidays, and May The Force Be With You!!
See you next time!

12 Days of Tested Christmas: Beep Boop
"Tested" is a web series that I follow on YouTube that was created by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman - you may have heard of them from their show on The Discovery Channel - Mythbusters.
Anyway, this Tested web series is all about gadgets and cool stuff, and is hosted by several guys that make up the "Tested Team." Recently they have started a series counting down the twelve days of Christmas wherein they show you some cool things that they have purchased which make great gift ideas. On this particular day they are showing off our favorite Astromech.
I thought I would share!
Stay tuned for more fun holiday stuff in Mike's World!!

Pic-Of-The-Week #6!!
Hey hey!!
My blog continues it's updates! New stuff in the design every day!
For the rest of this month I'll be celebrating Christmas in the Pic-Of-The-Week. Christmas related goodies from my collection.
This week we will start with Santa Yoda from last year's LEGO Advent Calendar. Each day with the calendar you get to make a LEGO somethin' or other. It could be a ship, or a mini-fig, and at the very end you were able to build a Christmas tree and this cool little Santa Yoda!
Santa Yoda is inspired from an image created by Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie for a Lucasfilm Christmas greeting card that was sent out to staff members back in the 1980s.
Enjoy this first holiday Pic-Of-The-Week, and come back next week to see what else I come up with!!
