And so all’s well that ends well, as The Red Man is fond of saying, and tonight 900 lights burn brightly in the front yard on the outdoor tree for Casa de Canterbury! Apparently one of the new strands of tiny white lights didn’t work, and as usual we can thank Pretty for solving the mystery of the Evil Christmas Angel. She painstakingly removed the defective string of 300 lights and re-positioned the remaining 900. Sweet Lady Gaga.
Pretty wants the old woman Slow to get another 300 – she thinks the bottom needs help. Slow is protesting another visit to the CVS, but Pretty can be very persuasive when she’s in a holiday mood.
Meanwhile, back inside Casa de Canterbury, all is very merry.
I have to say we have all breathed a sigh of relief to see the lights aglow outside tonight, and even more grateful that Fence Jumper Spike has so far steered clear of the tree when it’s lit. The Red Man is keeping his paws crossed on that one.
Well, Sports Fans, the Gamecocks have a new football coach today, and a cautious spirit of optimism fills the air – or was that the Ghost of Christmas Past? Heh, heh. My little football joke for the night.
Get me outta here Percy…all this holiday hoopla makes my nerves jingle jangle…somebody save me from so many Santas!
Beautiful lights! I won’t step in that argument about 300 more!

Hah, I hope you enjoyed yourself! We have CVS here, too. I got mad at Walgreens today and said, “I’ll be going to CVS in the future.” The young lady I was talking to just laughed. As if they care!

Every corner in our fair city has a drug store of some variety – I don’t know how they all stay in business? I guess it says something about the number of drugs we Baby Boomers require..:)

I’ve noticed that everywhere I’ve been. And now I think it was Walgreens bought out Rite-Aid so now it will mainly be Walgreens and CVS everywhere. Ugh. Used to be gas stations and banks on the corners!

Yes, such a sad commentary on Baby Boomers that we need more meds in our bodies than gas in our vehicles…:(

I like all of the pretty Christmas decorations. I see a photograph of a special loved one. I think your 900 lights is quite sufficient buy I am very happy to go either way in this lights debate. 🙂
I really hope no jumping over fences fir Spike. Glad Red Man is mature enough to kerp watch and take care of his family. ♡
May all pets find bones or treats and all the others special gufts, along with many warm memories. Merry Christmas dear ones in LA Casa de Canterbury.

Ha, Robin, you are the only person to mention the photograph which is a very special one for us – it is Pretty’s grandmother!
Slow never made it back to the CVS so we are making do with the 900 lights this year. Perhaps next year…
The Red Man tries to entice Spike to jump by racing over to the corner where he climbs the fence to jump and then running around barking to tattletale that he’s over – Red has always been a troublemaker!!
Yes, may all pets find bones or treats but mostly warm memories.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Robin!

We know all has been carefully packed away until next year, but we couldn’t sign off without saying what a lovely touch you two have when it comes to decorating. Very pretty! I must confess, Ma was more that a little covetous of that flocked Santa, as they are her favorites.
I’ve been ordered to turn off the laptop as it’s getting late. I think a certain red horse needs to be fed, though he can starve as far as I’m concerned. 😉 So glad Ma, Cassie Potatoes and I stopped by the blog to do some catching up.
It’s not too late to wish you all a Happy New Year and always lots of love and hugs from the Frozen North.
