Merry Christmas Plus One!
Yesterday was a wonderful day for me and my Mom and Dad…………we had a wonderful cozy Christmas and Mom made sausage gravy and biscuits in honor of her Dad who always made that for the whole family on Christmas morning when Mom was growing up. Mom did, however, make me one piece of bacon because – well – it was Christmas morning!
Dad fixing the sausage for sausage gravy to help Mom out!
Today though is BACON CATURDAY so we’re ALL having bacon………Not a pile of it or a tree full of it – just bacon and eggs and toast in NORMAL proportions! (depending on your definition of “normal” of course!).
Don’t need a tree full – just one piece!
Nope! Just one piece please!
Here are some photos from My Christmas – we had a nice quiet day and I got some fun things from Santa Paws and my Mom and Dad and of course some of my friends (thank you!):
I did kind of miss having a “white Christmas” though……….we had fog but that doesn’t count. It was 70 degrees and rainy/cloudy all day……but INSIDE my house it was perfect – Christmas music playing, Christmas movies watched, Christmas dinner (turkey and the trimmings) to eat and lots of hugs and lap naps for ME ME ME! I hope your day was perfect too.
Christmas is a lot of hard work!

What a wonderful feeling when you have unconditional love…..being special needs DOES make you special but it also makes your Mum special for keeping you and taking such excellent care of you because sometimes it’s very hard. Thankfully Ladymum got the RIGHT help and now you’re feeling so much better. That’s a lot less stress on her which is good for her too! It’s a WIN/WIN!
