Is Santa Here Yet?

Today is Christmas Eve. As in the day before Santa comes. I’ve been in my Christmas PJ’s since about 9am this morning, because I can hardly wait for Santa to stuff his big tushie down my chimney.

My stockings are all hung, the plate of cookies and milk are ready, and I even left some carrots for Santa’s reindeer. (P.S. Rudolph, I left an extra one for you)

I might have tasted a few of Santa’s cookies. I’m really hoping he won’t mind.

Just in case I printed out this photo of me giving the sad puppy eyes for Santa – and I’m pretty certain no one can resist sad puppy eyes, not even the jolly fat man.

Well, I better go jump in bed and pretend I’m sleeping, because I think I hear the sound of reindeer hooves on my roof! Ahhhhh I’m so excited!

Merry Christmas to all my pals!

 

Holiday Parade

Posted on by

On Saturday was the Downingtown Christmas Parade that comes right down the street in front of my shop. As per our yearly tradition, me and Trooper staked out the best spot in front of the shop to watch the parade go by.

There were marching bands galore and lots of amazing floats this year.

And despite the cold temperatures the streets were packed with people excited to watch the parade go by.

This guy on top of an old fire engine even waved at me! He must read my blog.

The parade was so much fun, but my real duties of the day were inside the shop – where I handed out hot cider and cookies to all the chilly parade goers.

I might have had to sample the goods too, you know, to make sure they were tasty enough for my guests.

So what about you, what kind of things are you doing to get into the Holiday Spirit? There’s only 14 more days until Santa comes to visit! Time to get your Holiday Cheer on! Yipeee!

Santa’s Secret Workshop

Last week I was busy working away on a secret project for the Holidays. I made Christmas Cards! Yay!

Mom fashioned a beard for me out of some cotton and a string and I happily posed for portraits in a cheerful little Santa hat we got at the dollar store last year.

Picture taking always proves to be the easy part, it’s coming up with the inside greetings that takes a little more effort.

But this year I came up with my very own version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas….

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And left tiny paw prints all covered in soot.
The beard of his chin was white as the snow,
His twinkling eyes gave off a warm glow.

He spoke not a word, but gave out a sigh,
As he gobbled the milk & cookies in the blink of an eye.

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 as he drove out of sight,
“I like peanut butter cookies, next time get it right!”

You can fetch your very own set of my Holiday Greeting Cards HERE. Send a little Christmas Cheer to everyone you know! And because I love you all oh so much, enter the code AMMOPAL at checkout to get 10% off your order. Yipee!

Deck the Halls

Posted on by

It was inevitable.

The Christmas tree may have made it home, but it was far from festive. But have no fear, I was up for the task of decorating it.

Ok fine, I mostly watched.

However, I did give my favorite ornament a good butt sniff before he made it to the tree.

And before I knew it the tree was decorated.

It was…..GLORIOUS…..

…if you can’t tell from the look on my face.

Only 17 more days until Santa comes!

Oh Christmas Tree….

I bet you guessed it…..it’s Christmas Tree Shopping time!

Last year I had to do my Christmas Tree Shopping in the rain.

Mostly because my parents waited too long to get a tree….and the last chance we had was during a rainstorm!

So this year we went shopping for a tree right away.

I had so many trees to choose from I didn’t know where to start!

Luckily this year we didn’t have rain….instead we had the frigid cold.

So cold, that I’m not really sure why my family insisted on taking like a bazillion pictures of all of us.

Yeah, I lost interest after about a minute. I mean wasn’t the purpose to get me a tree….so Santa has somewhere to put all my presents?

My parents took so many pictures in fact, that they made the camera die! So if you are wondering why there are no picture of me helping Dad cut down our Christmas tree….you can blame them.

Luckily though, when we got closer to the car, mom was able to grab her spare camera.

I helped Dad drag the tree to the Christmas Tree people!

And FINALLY my tree made it safe and sound into my car. And I made it safe and sound into my heated doggie seat!

Only 18 more days until Santa comes!
