Well Amigos, you might as well face it. The Holidays are here and people of Good Cheer are running rampant in the towns and cities around the world chasing their dreams of Merry Ho Ho which is two weeks from today. That’s right. I said two weeks from today Christmas will be upon us.
The Red Man recognizes a sure Sign of the Season at Casa de Canterbury.
The old woman Slow and Pretty are moving in low gear this year so I’m not hopeful for anything major – like a Christmas tree for example. But I’ll give Slow credit for always making sure there’s a red poinsettia at Casa de Canterbury for the holidays. And she bumbled around yesterday and got the lights up on the outside tree we have as our addition to the neighborhood association outdoor decorations directions. We party.
Looks like we’ll miss the elaborate Worsham Street outdoor lighting this year. Bummer. The Little Women of Worsham make the place light up like Disneyland, and it’s great to be able to see what I’m barking at when I run up and down the fence at night.
We’ll also miss the annual Christmas Cookie Walk at the old Community Building in Montgomery this weekend. Now that’s a major loss. So many cookies…so little time.
So Sports Fans, you win some. You lose some. That’s why they play the game. I’m calling it a Holiday Night and dashing to the king-sized bed to make sure I keep the pillow. Catch you later…get busy on those gift lists…time is ticking away…

Slow and Pretty bought the king-sized bed for themselves, but Slow has to wedge her way into the middle because she’s always the last to climb aboard! 🙂

My human mommy lost her breath just a little bit when she read that Christmas is just two weeks away. At our current rate, we may not get around to celebrating until some time in mid-January! By the way, nice move getting the pillow, Red Man. We know who’s the boss. 🙂

Heh, heh. Oh Miss Harper Lee, The Red Man always has the right moves for the king-sized bed!! 🙂 Tell your mommy she better get going or the Great Santa Claus in the Sky will not be able to find her at Christmas! Whoa, Nellie – has she been too naughty this year??

We were wondering where Slow fit into the picture. Ma said she probably warmed the bed up for you pups, then headed into the guest room. I dunno Red, she said that with a dirty look on her face. It’s not like Cassie and I take up that much room! 🙂
Maybe it’s a good thing you’re having a low key holiday at the Casa. It’s been another tough year for Pretty, Slow, and you guys. A little downtime might do everyone some good. You can start a new South Carolina tradition like walking a tray full of cookies from the kitchen to the bed!

Yes, excellent question about the old woman Slow’s place in the king-sized bed, Miss Poppy and Pack! Every night it’s an adventure for her to squeeze into the middle between Pretty and us Pups. Actually, it’s funny for the rest of us to watch her struggle. TBO Chelsea generally begrudgingly heads downstairs to the sofa, Spike shifts to the bottom of the bed and well, The Red Man never moves from his pillow.
Cookies and candies and goodies of all kinds have made their way to Casa de Canterbury for the holidays! 🙂

Red – Ma has tried 3 times to leave a comment from me on this post. We seem to have hit some sort of cyber bump in the road. She’s nodding off, so number 4 is a quick recap: Take it easy, enjoy Christmas in SC, walk some cookies to the bedroom and call it a holiday!
Love, love, love … Us! 🙂

Ann, thanks so much for the comments! I Did get them but I haven’t been at my computer today since Pretty has had a day off and we have been spending time with our babies and a few fun errands…she is feeling some better but still has pneumonia. The weather today was unbelivably warm and the sun was shining so I allowed her to have outdoor activities!! Talk to you later…
