It's been a bit hectic here what with the card sending...parcel wrapping and all that festive decorating but now it's time for the best bit...the cooking fest of all that mouth watering grub...time for me to take up residence in the kitchen to guard the oven and treat my super sensitive nose to the delights of all those glorious smells and await the great big Christmas tasting session...oh yes the cook and this gastronomic connoisseur need to sample everything just to make sure it's fit for the Christmas Table.
But I hear that some of my bloggy buddies are getting their tinsel in a bit of a tangle...running around like headless chickens and getting themselves in a right old state...well take some advice from one who knows...Christmas will come and go whether you're ready or not so CHILL...it's only a fancy "bigger than normal" Sunday lunch after all...who's gonna care if your roasties are a bit overdone or your sprouts are more al dente than is good for your teeth...just fill up their glasses with some Christmas Cheer and if they are anything like the diners at our Christmas table...all plates will be scraped clean and tummies will be full to bursting...if not I'm happy to step in and mop up any left overs.
But apparently the cook fest is not kicking off until tomorrow...my old crafty Mum is off out today for a special Christmas Treat...bah humbug is all I can say...why am I never invited to go along.
So stop fretting...take a breath...it will all be alright on the night...I promise...
See you all soon
BIG CHRISTMAS HUGS

ReplyDeleteA very merry Christmas to you Buddy ~ love the hat, thank you for your wise words, I have been in a mild state of panic all week (parents arriving today), but you are right it will be fine. Hope Santa Paws brings you all the goodies you asked for xxx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Buddy, you look so sweet in your Santa hat. Lucky you getting to sample all the christmas goodness, hope Santa brings you some lovely treats and a few new playthings too x Susan & Toby x
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see you being allowed to post at last, your crafty Mum does rather take over the blog you know. You are looking very handsome and I hope you have a lovely relaxing day and enjoy the tasting sessions. Hope Santa has lots of goodies for you, hugs xx
ReplyDeleteOh dear Buddy I hope they don't lick their plates too clean and leave some for you!! Susan x
ReplyDeleteHi Buddy, I have missed you and your uplifting posts so it is lovely to see you here today! That's great advice you give. Take good care of Mum and I hope Santa brings you lots of lovely treats. You are much better staying at home, it is absolute madness out there! Love the hat btw. Big hugs to you and Mum. Lots of love, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Buddy boy. Hope you're going to be a good helper to mum with all the festivities on Christmas Day! Oh, and don't partake of too many sprouts!
ReplyDeletewell Buddy - never have I heard more sound advice - I do hope santa has got something special for you this year - I'm sure he will have!! Hugs rachel xx
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful advice. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.Lots of hugs.
ReplyDeleteHello Buddy - so good to hear from you again. My doggy Polly is also looking forward to all the yummy Christmas Fayre but unlike you, she just won't wear a hat. I suspect that like her "Dad" she is also a bit of a humbug too. Strange that they both enjoy tucking in to all the festive grub! Hope you have a super Christmas, and I'm sure you have been a very good boy this year and will be getting some lovely treats. I will try and take your advice and chill out. Us humans do tend to get ourselves into a bit of a pickle - and that reminds me - did I put that on the ever growing list??? Big hugs - X
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Buddy - love your hat!
ReplyDeleteJust popped over to say thank you to your Mum for the gorgeous Christmas card she sent me...but as she's not around today, could you please pass on the message?
