Well, about the tree and all, that is all very nice (we put it up after Sinterklaas Dec 5, so never wait) but what about the mittens and the wonderful hat you’re wearing? Very pretty. But above all: the dog, had I missed something? You’re search engine works fine and has put me up to date: neighbour’s dog, and “should we take a dog”? Consider this Dutch saying: “a dog has a boss, cats have staff”. We have three cats: Constrance, Carolien and Jan. …Says it all, I think. (However, living outside and in a house all the time – as opposed to living in a city – I don’t know what I would do!).
Go Go ‘o9, to you both!

@Deb – Glad we’re not the only ones who aren’t completely on the ball. :) Putting up a Christmas tree late does have its perks though. Those 12 days of Christmas gifts sound fun. I love opening little surprises.

@Jypsy – I don’t think that I’ve actually seen a tree with real candles burning on it. I bet that looked lovely. Cute kittens!!

@Vicki – We don’t have as much snow as you, that’s for sure. Funny to be saying that!

@Kerry – Same too you, Kerry. :)

@Sandy – Merry Christmas to you, too. Hand-picked ones are the cutest. They have character.

@Andrea – She likes to be in pictures, but…we can’t really control her, lol. She never looks in the right direction.

@Michelle – Your house sounds like it’s decorated beautifully, in spite of animal challenges. :)

@Marjorie – We discussed the socks on the phone! Only a mother could recognize socks from 5000 kms a way. Love you, Mom!

@Luclaire – Thanks, we like it too.

@Vicki – We loved being at Wood Mountain last year. It was really special for Cameron to be in the same spot where his Grandfather grew up. Couldn’t have picked better timing. :)

@Aunt Krissy – She is quite the dog. She belongs to our neighbours, but she comes to visit us on occasion when we’re outside for long periods of time. Her name is Angel.

Okay maybe that is not my parcel? Just thinking last year when you guys called from Wood Mtn. Saskatchewan. I was so touched & will never forget how unselfish you guys were to spend you Xmas Eve there. Thank you, it meant so much to me. Miss you both & love you!!

Do I see, in the bottom right of your Christmas decorations box, some of Eileen’s customized hand knit socks!?! If so, could you possibly take a photo of them on your feet, for your far-away-at-Christmas mom?

One very energetic but blind Australian Cattle Dog and a 7 month old kitten means no Christmas tree for us. We have another dog who’s perfect in every way so he doesn’t factor into why we don’t have a tree… I mention him cause I just didn’t want to exclude him.

I do have my bannister decked out with faux greenery, shiny mini ornaments and lights; cheesy cheap Christmas candelabras in the windows; and outside we have LED lights intertwined with genuine greenery on the porch spandrels. It’s enough to invoke warm fuzzy feelings.

Nice accessorizing with the pup!

We have a very similar tree that Riley and Bailey picked out in our woods. Small, but might, just the way we like it!

Merry Christmas!
