Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope y'all are staying warm after the monster polar blast that left much of the country in snow and negative temperatures. Did anyone partake in the Collector Club Santa Surprise, Gabriel? If so, which are you hoping to get? While I was a bit hopeful for Misty (since Breyer has been using many of the pony molds the past few years) it was actually Nikolas. I'm not a huge fan of the mold and I also thought the paint job too simple for a pony mold at the $135 price tag they were asking, even with the modified braided mane version, so I passed. Yes, I know, they were trying to portray glass bulbs, but honestly they also said the same thing with the Merry and Bright stablemates and they were still color shifting. If these guys were color shifting, despite the mold, I probably would've went for it. Nevertheless what I think, they still sold out, probably mostly due to people wanting to take the gamble on the glossy black Coal model. Another club model for 2023 had been revealed last week, in the form of the Cantering Warmblood from the Stablemate Club, whose name is Brighton. This guy looks like a miniature version of Marzipan, in my opinion. This only leaves the Shetland Pony, who must be the gambler's choice as I previously thought. We should see the colors of those this coming week since this is the last week for Stablemate Club and Premier Club signups! Christmas hasn't been too good to us this year, unfortunately. I did get Snowbird gifted to me from my family, making an official conga of the Morgan Stallion mold as model number three. However, the storm left us without power and we're having a difficult time over here keeping water flowing to all the livestock because everything, including the water pumps, are frozen. We've been having to manually carry water buckets out to the horses. On top of that, sickness has been going around our home. It started with me honestly, I came down with the flu the day my work called off and had to take yesterday off as well. I'm finally feeling better but my poor husband now has it so Christmas hasn't been too great for us this year. However, the good news is that my boss announced last week that the overtime will be pretty much over with, so I'll be back on my regular work schedule come January. This means I'll get more opportunities to blog and chat with other model horse hobbyists.
