Snow & Trains

I gots snow last Monday..... purdy snow. And fun Snow!




But, the rain came yesterday and took it all away - so now I gots to waits for snow again.

And - I gots to show you the train that goes around the tree this year. It is new and makes lotsa noise and I just wanna play wif it, but I'm not suppose to touch anything by the tree. So I has to bark at it instead.

Warning: Momma says my barking is loud in the video.

My Tree

Last weekend we went to get out tree at the tree place. They have lotsa wreaths.
Which are good for sniffing.
But, we were there for a tree so the hoomans picked on out, wif my approval of course.
Hello Mr Grinch....
Then the Tree came home for decorating. I inspected the lights to make sure they were put on properly.
Then I took a nap while the hoomans finished decorating. Don't you like my tree - whata you mean you can't see it.
Der is this better?

'Twas the Night Before Christmas, a poem

'Twas the Night Before Christmas (or A Visit from St. Nicholas) by Clement Clarke Moore (1823)
************************************************************************************
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash,tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the lustre of midday to objects below,when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.More rapid than eagles, his courses they came,and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer!Now, Prancer and Vixen!On, Comet! On, Cupid!On, Donner and Blitzen!To the top of the porch!To the top of the wall!Now dash away! Dash away!Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky so up to the house-top the courses they flew,with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly,that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.And laying his finger aside of his nose,and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

A shopping Trip

Time to do a little Christmas shopping and I knew exactly where to go:
Hmmm... lets check out the toys - it's gotta squeak.. I need to get presents for lotsa doggies....
I loves Kong toys, let me check the price.... I gots a budget you know.

After a trip to the pet store I found pressies for all the doggie cousins and even some for the kitties. I'd tell you what I got but that would ruin the surprise. Speaking of suprises guess who I got to see after shopping....
Yup, my BFF Diesel!

Let the Bitey Face commence!

And who doesn't love a good game of lazy tug........
After visiting with Diesel there was more shopping to do.... Hooman shopping.... boring..... I do likes the Whoopie Pie store though... Yummers.
The whole town was lit up with these creepy balls... I got enough courage to stand this close to gets my picture taken. There were even peoples in a horse drawn carriage with those big budwieser horsies. Don't worry I made sure to barks at them to tell them to go away, so no picture.
Shopping is absolutely exhuasting..... But I is all done so now I can go back to sleep.
What do you mean I still gots to wrap them.... ugh!
