    [QUOTE=lostinrates;67293914]I don't really like the picture. I think its mean. :( I feel the same about a lot of the animal pics on the net.

    Though, mauve squeaker had a cake box in Milan that she used to retire to and pull the concertina lid down by the ribbon.[/QUOTE]

    I feel like that too, about dressed-up animals, especially cats, I think it is demeaning to the animal.

    Dressed up people, though, are another matter! I think Father Christmas will be visiting littlewing in person this evening at Granny's. (He did last year).

    Ahem. Dumbass dog will be donning his santa coat later on in his role as Santa Paws when I take selection boxes to the kids next door. He loves his santa coat and gets very excited when he sees it. I will be wearing my elf hoody.

    Merry Christmas Pyxis. Hope you have a wonderful time. The place you're going sounds fabulous.

    HBS - I love Muppet Christmas Carol. It's my favourite Christmas movie. I haven't watched it yet this year so maybe that's why I'm not feeling in the mood for Christmas.

    I was planning to spend a relaxing day watching Christmas movies in my onesie and eating chocolate santas but failed in my task to get the house clean and presents wrapped yesterday.

    I did. Sent it to the mil who giggled hysterically. Sent it to DH but he just was being grinchy yesterday and didn't appreciate it - he was annoyed that his elf was camp :rotfl:

    I allow myself to watch it once a year, on Christmas Eve, with a couple of glasses of pink fizz and some ice cream or chocolate. That way it retains its magic for me :)

    My favourite part is where Gonzo rants for a while and then Rizzo kisses him on the nose. I giggle every time :)
