Having a puppy in the house who likes to taste-test everything meant some decorations had to stay in the box this year. I can relate. I have two puppies. We have had many dogs but these two are a true challenge. Tis The Season ';

Went a bit on the subtle side this year. Having a puppy in the house who likes to taste-test everything meant some decorations had to stay in the box this year. We are the same with Ted ....had to buy a small tree.....The big one was wrecked every morning ....we had to completely decorate it every day....
November 28, 20187 yr Author When Ralph was a wee kitten there were no decorations on the bottom of the tree.... last year was the boys first christmas... they were pretty good with the tree... but the presents under the tree, that was a different story..... so there were no presents under the tree and the decoration that is a teddy bear was taken off every time Sarge would find it on the tree and hidden in his not so secret hiding places. oh... what am I doin' right now.... getting the tissues ready to read that thread.

The lights and ornaments are all just above the line where a he can reach anything. Of course, with as fast as he is growing right now, he may be big enough to reach by the time Christmas gets here.
November 29, 20187 yr Just watched The Christmas Chronicles, with Kurt Russel, on Netflix. He made the cutest darn Santa. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Laughed, cried and just got into the Christmas mood.

I tried decorating the cat last year and it ended with a fair bit of blood, a lot of swearing and a trip to a+e. To be fair I can't blame the cat, all went well until I tried to sit it atop the tree instead of the fairy.

November 29, 20187 yr I knitted Reindeers for the tree a few years back for our families....hilerious all out of shape ...and different size legs....but they come out every year...I'm proud ...one off,s...
December 1, 20187 yr Author I make fabric covered balls and put names on them... one year for christmas... years and years ago I made my grandma a ball for every grandkid..... with our names.... and they still come out (get added to every year) and get hung on the tree at whoever is hosting family christmas... the boys are hysterical... the branch at the top of the tree.... closest to the star will end up with about 6 balls on it... as they all want to be top and centre.... so funny that these men in their 30s, 40s and one in his 50s are rushing to the tree not to shake presents but to see where their frickin ball is hangin.... lol.... love it.

December 1, 20187 yr Author When I make this years ones I'll do a pic.... its that time of year..... so my christmas tree is a hodge podge... no colour scheme, no uniformity... just a mix of evrything and anything... I need it to be like this, if I colour co-ordinated it I would end up having a breakdown because then everything would need to be strategically hung and placed and organised.... so my chrissy tree is chaos because chaos works for a mix and match... but not for a colour scheme. ... or I will get a pic from my mum's set. OH came in to say going bra shopping for the kid... again... cos they have grown.... again....

Those bras can been kind of expensive! not a teenager until next month.... but has the attitude down pat.... she is, um, gifted in the front.... so normally I spend $160 and she gets 2 bras..... so we lucked out on a sale... like huge sale... 7 bras (normal price for the lot $480) we payed $140... because we went to the outlet AND they had a sale with all bras $20. so she got a new pair of togs too (togs = bathers/swimmers/cosy) bloody exhausted.... got a take away roast for dinner from the spit shop.
December 1, 20187 yr Wittt ? That's bloomin expensive bras jo. There's bras in asda no joke I think they're £4! Or a decent one from markies might be £20.
