The
addition of three guests to our Christmas last year meant is was a very festive
occasion. Two of them are old friends and for one it was her first Christmas and like most first
Christmas-ers the wrapping paper was a major attraction.
They
played a full part in helping gather the holly from the common, in decorating
the tree and opening the gifts, (don't mention the carol singing). They would have liked to have contributed more to
the preparation of the food and the feasting but sadly we have to take regard
for special diets and for one particular waistline. The noise from the first
cracker we pulled was all too alarming so we still have a box of crackers
sitting on top of the fridge. ‘Why,’ asks Phoebe ‘don’t the RSPCA market a
range of silent fireworks for dog owners?’
All
the guests had their own wrapped-up presents which got swapped and swapped back
several times.

A
few years back Mooli spent Christmas with us. Inevitably he sniffed out an
unguarded box of liqueur chocolates and scoffed the lot, coloured silver paper
and all. I can’t remember if it was his moaning or the discovery of the looted
box but there was an emergency dash to Medivet where the poor fellow had his
stomach pumped. He
would do the same again, so it must have been worth it.
