On Carol Singing

Well it is Christmas and though I do not have the dulcet howl of my two border terrier pals Mac and Sam, I felt my rendition of  "Bark the Herald Angels Sing" was pretty darned good!  "Deck the Halls with Bow Wows of Holly" next I think!

On Christmas

What I cannot work out is why I am nearly 20 years old and as yet have only experienced two Christmas Days!  Still, I try to follow English and Welsh tradition where the servants are allowed to sit at the table and I wait on.  The tradition in my family is always roast ribs of beef for Christmas dinner which goes back to long before geese or turkeys became the order of the day.  And so I wait on, and on, and on having learnt that sooner or later the servants will misuse their Yuletide alcohol allowance and forget to push their chairs under the table.  There it is - roast rib, bones, fat and gravy.  Two Christmas dinners and two royal thefts and a third to come in just over a week!!!  So to all my pals here, the USA, Canada, Australia and everywhere in the world - a big fat Merry Christmas!
