TICK TOCK GOES THE CLOCK
JUST FIVE MORE DAYS UNTIL WE ROCK
SANTA COMES WITH DEER AND SLEIGH
LEAVES YOU SOME TOYS THEN FLIES AWAY
IF YOU’VE BEEN GOOD NO DOUBT YOU’LL SEE
PREZZIES UNDER YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE!
Yes indeed – not long to wait now. I’ve been camped out by our Christmas tree for days now – watching all the activity around here. Mom’s shopping, wrapping, rearranging stuff under the tree and Dad’s favorite napping spot is the recliner here in the library where the tree is. He snores – I snore…..Mom walks by and see us in here with a big smile on her face (I peeked). But at any rate, only five more days and we’ll all see what goodies Santa brings AND whatever else our parents might get us because we’ve all be EVER so good haven’t we?
I’ve received a couple of packages from some of my bloggy buddies and may I just say THANK YOU to anyone who sent me anything at all…..what a lovely thing to do – I didn’t send presents this year because I have like two gabillion bazillion friends and I’d have to be a quadrillionaire to afford to send stuff to everyone….but don’t get me wrong – I would if I could!!!!! Mom’s still being stubborn about my Secret Santa Paws box from Spitty but I continue to give her the sad eye treatment and she’s looking weaker. There’s hope.
My Dad went flying this morning and Mom did the grocery shopping. She bought the stuff for our Christmas dinner next week. I saw what she got and it looks like I’ll be getting some TURKEY for Christmas! Yay….not I’m not a BIG fan of the stuff – but I do like a little nibble or two. Just a bit. So forgive me Tabbies o Trout Towne for admitting that I DO like a bit of “burd” but I do. We’re not having any company for Christmas this year so it will just be me, Mom and Dad for Christmas day and dinner.
Well, one thing NEVER changes no matter what time of the year or what holiday it is and that’s that Friday is MONSTER DAY……so if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to try and decide to keep an eye on the THING or go and hide……I’m never quite sure which of those to do. I mean it pays to keep an eye on your enemy but when it’s a super noisy enemy sometimes it’s better to hide. Know what I mean?
HAPPY FIVE DAYS TO GO FRIDAY!
Sammy the Excited Boy…… 🙂
Pssst……don’t forget to put this on your calendar!

Well, I’m in favor of finding a quiet spot and hiding out until the monster goes back in the closet. Mom can keep an eye on it since she’s done such a good job all this time. And you can dream of your prezzies and the treat of bacon on the weekend and a nibble of turkey on THE Day.

Hi Miss June!! I think you’re right – hiding makes more sense than spying on the monster so I’m going to head down into the basement, curl up on my spy chair by the back door and snore right through the hubbub upstairs with the monster! Are you ready for Christmas? I hope so!!

Bacon I don’t suppose that the old song about “I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus” could be YOUR Mom…maybe she was calling her boyfriend Mr. Claus to arrange a meeting under your mistletoe (whatever THAT stuff is), did you think of that???
