Enjoy Christmas Day Marveling Over Your New Set of Fuel Wheels

Christmas morning is pure magic, if you're a kid that is. As a child, you wake up early in the morning, much to the chagrin of your parents, fly downstairs, stop and gasp in awe at all of the gifts that “Santa” brought you, already assembled and ready to go. In all of the excitement, you don't even bother to check to see if Santa ate the cookies you left for him.

Your parents always seemed extra tired on Christmas morning, especially dad, and weren't always in the greatest of moods. You never understood this until you grew up and had kids of your own. Now, you look forward to Christmas about as much as you look forward to a colonoscopy.

In our last post, we discussed in great detail the five stages of Christmas toy assembly. If you survived another Christmas Eve struggling to assemble gifts for the kids, congratulations on a job well done. You can enjoy Christmas Day marveling over your new set of Fuel wheels you received from your wife. And if you think you had it bad, just take a look at these gifts some poor sap had to assemble in the wee hours of the morning.

Little Gym Deluxe

Anything with the word “deluxe” in it is going to be a huge pain to assemble. It might take hours to assemble, but your little gymnast will never be able to step away from the Little Gym Deluxe. The set includes everything any budding gymnast could ever want including an adjustable horizontal bar, adjustable balance beam, folding may and the ever-important landing mat.

You may have died a little while piecing this monster together, but the look on her face when she sees it will make it all worthwhile. That is, until she wants to take gymnastics and you see what that is going to cost you.

Princess Castle Bunk Bed

Your daughter’s bedroom will be the envy of every one of her friends when they see this cool hangout. The Princess Castle Bunk Bed is one awesome piece of furniture that includes a twin bed with a tent over it, a covered hiding place below and even a slide. Never mind the fact you promised a life of celibacy if by some grace of God you could somehow manage to put the damn thing together before sunrise.

John Deere Ground Force Tractor and Trailer

Every kid needs one of these. And every dad who has to put this beast together will wonder why he had kids in the first place. But hey, it does have a working FM radio if that eases the pain at all.

Backyard Discovery Playhouse

The Backyard Discovery Playhouse comes with construction paperwork that states some pilot hole drilling may be required. In a nutshell, you will need a whole set of Craftsman tools if you ever want to have this thing assembled by summer. And when we say assembled, we really mean built.

In hindsight, piecing together a few bicycles and a Barbie Dreamhouse was really a walk in the park.
