Xmas well wishes everyone 🎄!!
SS
I always love seeing your annual post. Now tell me, is this religious?
❤️🐬
…..🎄🫶
I was in this group therapy a few years back. I was Santa. I remember it clearly
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to you. 👍🥵😂
Have a rootin’ tootin’ Happy Holiday! 🩵🤠
hope your storm has passed so you can go surfing 🫶🎄
We didn’t get much so it’ll be smooth surfing for a while.
Mistletoe is usually green
Holly is mostly red
Let’s put 2023
To Bed! 🩵
in the name of Jesus,I beg your pardon?😄
I don’t see the confusion. Put 2023 behind us. Maybe I should have put the poem in a New Years post. But what the heck….
2024 has come around so quickly….I think the covid jabs had time travel in them 😳
I agree. I wonder what else the jabs might have in store for us. I still have both my arms.
I still feel like Popeye, after covid and flu vaccines three months ago😝🤭
You won’t have to fork across pounds for spinach, then. 🤭
I’m getting my affairs in order today….reported 🫶🎄
What affairs? With who?
Affairs ……xmas well wishes to the fabulous people on hu fighting to get through this week…..remember it’s just a few days then we can be back to being happily depressed in peace …..xmas cards to neighbors…..because they sent me one 🙄will post later when it’s dark to avoid the joyous small talk 😉
Okey dokey…..I guess I’m lucky. The holidays don’t depress me and I don’t talk to neighbors.
Except the policemen across the street and they don’t send me a card anyway. Maybe I can break the law and get their attention…
Merry Christmas to you as well!
😆 There's so much truth in that version.
🎄🎅🏻🤶
Hooray! A new tradition. My favorite Herman pic. 🩵
I ❤️ this!
Thank you LZ
Today we are going to see Santa and sit in his hands. Photo to follow lol
❤️🐬
OMG! I can't wait to see the photo. 😆 what a great idea. I may do that with my doggy, Pix.
Yes, do it.
This is Herman's second year with Santa. They always expect dogs. Last year they were quite fascinated
Soooo gorgeous. Look at his cute little face 😍😍
Hahaha
Where's our bunny boy?
❤️🐬
Asleep under a chair at the moment. Haven't got any Xmas pics except this old one
He does that like the wild bunnies do? They can stand still forever it seems. Love his ears
I love the ornaments
Yes he does. I suppose it's instinct, to avoid predators.
The ornaments are on a small pre-lit white tree. I keep it in the window. I thought he wouldn't be able to get up there but he jumps up via the chair next to the window🙄
Smart boy He's very talented
Once he makes up his mind to do something, there's no stopping him 🥴
This morning they were offering free carrots in tescos which we took them up on the offer and thought I would let you know so you can stock up for Dylan for free.
It doesn’t answer my question?
lol... H hasn't done his Xmas dinner photo yet. We only have Thanksgiving
Gotcha…..I wouldn’t think SS is a sherry man, though. Maybe Sherry..lol

Warm and cozy. Time to pull out the fuzzy slippers.
My slippers are lined up and ready along with the annual Xmas pjs I wear once a year. I wish I had a real fireplace.
I have a gas fireplace, but I want a house that doesn't have one. I can't find a house in our area without one anymore. It's a real pain.
I'm thinking of putting one in. Is there a problem with it. I want the wall thing on my sunroom
It's just more maintenance and one more thing to repair if something breaks. My son lives in the basement, so it use to get a lot of usage. But when it needed a cleaning a couple of years ago, the tech broke the glass, then didn't know how to turn it back on, nearly burned down the house, overcharged for the repair it didn't need, lied to his boss about me breaking it. It was a nightmare that lasted from September to February. After everything was fixed, we don't use it anymore because I just can't go through that again. I bought an $80 oil heater that works just as well heating the basement (Yay for Home Depot). It lowered my winter electricity by at least $100 dollars a month.
So I don't enjoy fireplaces anymore 😆.
Well on that note hahaha.... I have the space heaters. I think it was more for the ambiance. But seriously who needs it.
I'm going to save the money and go have a facial
I remember the rigamarole you went through with that fireplace. I just like a real one for ambience. I’ve had several and never used them for heat. I’d love one, but then I’d have to buy the wood every year…cha Ching…then cart the wood in. Sometimes I’d use those starter logs instead, but those are cha Ching too. I’d rather use the cha Ching for something else, too. Now I can cast a video of a burning fireplace onto my big tv and it’s good enough, but I can’t watch tv.
Rigamarole, that's a word I haven't seen in awhile. Ambient relaxation videos are the best. Why can't you watch TV?
I can’t watch my tv programs if I am casting an ambient fireplace video at the same time on to the tv. I guess I could buy another tv and set it off to the side. One for the fireplace video and one for programs, movies, etc. But I only watch the fireplace videos around Christmas so the idea wouldn’t really be cost effective.
Lol
😆. That reminds of this story. youtu.be/GVcoaVBRdXk?si=YfW...
Loved that. We don't get nice, cosy Country Christmas songs like that in Britain.
Cheers, Midori
Prince Pixie is too early for Christmas lunch!
Christmas day we are having ham hock along with lots of root veg and gravy!
all the best for when it comes lets hope you have an accident free Christmas.
Here he is
Wonderful. He looks so serious though. Did he try to get up Santa's sleeve and leave him a present lol
I love it! He looks like wants to go home. We're leaving for our pics soon. My doggy is not happy. He thinks something is up.
Oh sweet little one. It will be ok. You will get a bone. Herman got nothing 🙄
I can't wait to see
Love it Dolphin14 🥰🦔🎅 My husband some how has been talked into playing Santa for his office charity events for the past couple years... should see if Santa can visit Clyde & Seneca. Hope you & Herman have a wonderful Christmas. 💗
Hi Mel
Yes please, Clyde and Seneca on Santa's lap I would love to see that. When is the office party lol
Wishing you a wonderful Xmas as well
❤️🐬
🎅💗 Will post the picture if I'm able to talk him into doing it. His office thing is tomorrow... unfortunately I can't make it, too much to do at my office. Plus it'll give me a chance to wrap gifts without him around.
Looks yummy P
Merry Xmas
He looks like he's ready to relax and watch some TV and have a slumber party.
Kitties have their own rules we must follow. 🙂
Did you get your photo?
I did! Here's the final product. It looks like he's growing out of Santa's beard.
LOL
Looks like he had a side pony tail. That's so sweet, I'm glad you went
❤️❤️
Me too. It was a rainy day, so it was nice to be out around people. They had an adoption event going on too, so the store was packed.
Pet stores are fun. Most people are happy.
I hope some of those pets got adopted for Xmas
Fortunately, I have a cat allergy and couldn't get suckered by this face. Hidden I thought you might appreciate this cutie I saw at an adoption event.
Look at that face. I'm not sure I would get out of there without one.
I went to get pet food once and there was one cat left in the adoption section. I was so sad. I didn't need one, already had 3, but I started the adoption process and took her home the next day.
😆. I use to see that happen a lot when I volunteered at adoption events and fostered dogs.
She lived for 20 years. It's sad when people do the impulse adoption and then regret it.
It must have been sad to see some return to the shelters
I did see some returns. But I was volunteering before Covid, so it probably wasn't as bad as it is now. People really need to understand how traumatic it is for dogs to be given up at a shelter or rescue, even just one time. I'm not as familiar with cats.
My best friend, a pit bull mix, was returned to shelter several times before i discovered her. Now she is living large!
Sometimes it's about finding the right family. There were fosters I think about all the time and miss. Then there were fosters I was so happy to have found a good home. I had their leash, toys, food, and everything else packed and ready at the front door 😆. Like this little diva. She woke me up all night over things that could wait until the morning. She ended up in the best home for her. They loved her to the moon.
reminds me of going to a farmers market once for some chickens and came home with a rabbit …it was going to end up in a stew otherwise….i Let. It go free range in the garden and it bolted off into the sunset towards next doors veggie patch
Yay for the cat flap!
Oh gosh, Pix loves you so much. Too much. 😆
I can't believe you haven't gotten in trouble yet. 😱🤣😆

You dressed up your parakeet in a frog costume? Poor bird! 😯 Sorry, I meant to say budgie versus parakeet for those in the U.K.
🤣 good one Corgi
SS: What a wonderful post you have made for everyone! Thank you! 🙏
Baby is just as bad when she meows when she sees us thinking we are tins of cat food!
It's my phone interview this lunchtime at 1pm so keeping busy this morning and the time will soon fly by and it will all be over!
Back in the January of 1998 I started a catering job where I stayed for nearly 6 years.
If it doesn't come to anything this lunchtime I wont be heartbroken over it!
Been out earlier on for a walk in the drizzly rain which I enjoyed as I feel it does me good to get out and about even i the rain!
My Pix is so obedient. He tries so hard to be a good boy, and he lives for the praise, "Good boy".
Aww, he's a good boy too.
Yes, I have a Father in the hospital so I have been offline playing nursemaid.
We all need a lot of Xmas cheer these days, thanks for getting us together! 😘
Good job we aren't on the Julian Calendar as many are. They have to wait two weeks beyond us Gregorian types! And some little ones only get their pressies on Jan 13th, when the Wise Men come. They get 3 pressies each, and no more!
Cheers, Midori
A lot of folk think that it was Halley's Comet, it was around at about that time.
Mind you, an Alien Spaceship is as good as anything! ( Rings a bell about a song, A spaceman came travelling, or something).
Cheers, Midori
My son and I will be taking it slowly as it is his first Christmas with Diabetes, so a learning curve for us both. Quiet couple of days. I must get my Salt Beef into the slow cooker and dive into the big freezer to find the Bagels. Turkey lump can also go into the slow cooker later, then slice and freeze.
Cheers, Midori
At the pharmacy where I used to work one of the technicians has a pedigree cat who is 16 who is like Pixie!
When Baby was 1 she had a birthday cake saying 1 on it and a tag on her collar saying 1 as well!
Baby has walked on a lead since she was a little kitten!
Hello my friend i hope you and your family have a great christmas and a good new year all the best david
I thought Prince Pixie would be too spoilt to go catching prey!
Pixie will be envious if you tell him we have had a Saturday salad tonight which included prawn cocktail, lettuce, cucumbers and swede and a fruit salad for dessert as we had a load of salad items in the fridge that need to be used up and no way are we throwing them out as we feel it's an absolute disgrace to throw food in the bin when lots are starving!
Lunchtime I really enjoyed a nice peaceful swim at the leisure centre as it was just me there at the 1pm session!
Baby enjoys her salmon and prawns and also kippers as well!
When I worked at the pharmacy I had made myself a salad for lunch that had raw swede in it and one of the girls was like is that swede in the salad and yes it was.
I assure you I'm glad I'm not at that pharmacy anymore after the poor way they treated me all because my face didn't fit!
That was a valuable lesson in not going to that employer again!
I was disappointed when that pharmacy job didn't work out but I have accepted it now.
I was happy yesterday when I got told I hadn't got the jobs I had interviewed for last week as I reckon I would have hated them.
Another one is when those bailiffs came round and left their letter saying they were coming to evict at the end of May and I feel that when they did that by accident they stopped me from having made a big mistake by doing that as it had stopped me from going to that place I'm north road I was unsure about as their earliest date to have got us in was mid June but the bailiffs were coming to evict at the end of May.
The housing officer said to me did I want to book myself into a b and b and pursue the North Road place or did I want to accept this one and this place it was and I had asked her to put the offer in writing which she did do.
If I had gone with the North Road place I probably would still be at that b and b now!
this is for you brother....
He's going to top that you realize
❤️🐬
Oh yeah..... it's on.....
BOOM
There it is
Oh yeah....Kapow
Ronald! I haven't seen him in awhile. Praying to the Buddha Ronald.
Here have a 🦔
Does he come when you call him yet....I don't know how smart they are, all our guys are wild.
He knows my voice so he will respond. Like when I wake him up he un rolls himself
He only moves when he wants to.... male🙄.... and once he takes off he doesn't look back
He will climb up my legs or my chest to get in his scarf though. So that's one direction he follows
yep ... your officially the mommy nest....ain't motherhood grand...he's a cutie patootie
Thank you, he's my little man.
Hope you are doing well.
❤️❤️
I don't want to Jinx it....but I actually am feeling okay....I can't believe it, finally, that's worth diamonds....I'm painting, nesting, and it's been soooo great. Thanks for asking buddy....give spiky an 'air kiss' for me.....
