I can\u2019t think of a better Christmas present to receive. The joy of unwrapping an enormous parcel and finding a Scalextric set inside is just the best feeling \u2013 however young or old you are. To make sure that joy continues when the box is opened, it\u2019s a very good idea to prepare for the big day \u2013 especially if you intend to play Scalextric with your Christmas guests.<\/p>\n
A typical Christmas day \u2013 full of excitement, noise, assorted relatives, a big lunch and a few drinks \u2013 is not a great environment to give a Scalextric instruction booklet the time and attention it needs. Quite rightly, everyone is impatient to get the track up and the cars racing!<\/p>\n
The ideal preparation is to arrange a quiet couple of hours one evening before Christmas, after the kids have gone to bed. You will be reading the instruction booklet, unpacking the box and setting up the track.<\/p>\n
