Advent Day 19: Super Mario
On Christmas Eve 2019 we took a stroll to the nearby area of Scotstoun to view its Living Advent Calendar. Each evening in December, one more window had been illuminated. On the 24th, we got to see them all.
Number 19 – Level 20 Nearly Complete.
I love Super Mario! My video game skills never advanced much beyond SNES, since I never owned any of the newer systems with the really complicated controllers, but I am awesome at Mario, if I say so myself.

I’ll take your word for it! Having had a pre-digital childhood / youth my skills are zero.

Not the best example of a game character I can think of but ok for young children. Interesting as it shows how far they have evolved since the 1980s when it was very crude and basic shapes only unless it was laborious hand drawn art in each frame..

It’s a nice adaptation for the window though. Maybe the residents are children of the 80s!

It looks like a pixelated Santa and that’s what I’ll take it as. Not many more to go, and then you can take a day off!

I admit I have had to check some of the popular culture references quite carefully …

Now that is just funny. By the way, I saw a huge Darth Vader blow up beside a house and it was higher than the home. What DarhnVader has to do with Christmas I will never know.

Not at all appropriate for Christmas! How weird.

Haha… I remember buying Super Mario for my boys way back when. My daughter and I used to play it after they went to bed and spent many midnight hours trying to complete the levels, but we never did.

Hi Anabel – little did Mario know what he was hop skipping into … I bet he’ll be leaping far and wide this year into 2021 … the windows are fun – stay safe – Hilary
