We will be celebrating our second Christmas together as a married couple and it is also both dogs second Christmas seasons. We also have the puppies this Christmas hehe. That is exciting. No Tree for us since Rumely REALLY loves sticks and balls and well... A tree really is just sticks and if it is a Christmas tree... it will have ornaments and they look like balls. The presents are wrapped and hidden in the spare bedroom so RUmely can not get those either because he really like paper and boxes. Yep... We are ready for kids...

Sounds like you already have one, Rumley

My mom has even requested what "they" want for Christmas This year they can't come with us to family Christmas get togethers due to the puppies but they usually get to for Christmas. They are our kids and get to come along with to things like that.

Put the Christmas village on the buffet.

I think we got a really good tree.

As life-long cat people, DH and I always have to anchor our tree, and cannot use tinsel even though we love it. The first time a cat comes out of the litter box dragging tinsel behind him may be hilarious, but it certainly isn't fun chasing him down and removing it! That was our first Christmas together. After 24 years, tying the tree to a window frame and the ceiling is just the 1st step of decorating. When I was a teen, we had 5 flying squirrels rescued newborn from a tree felled by a friend with his father's tree service. The mother died in the fall, and he arrived at our house with these 5 pink "mice" that all fit in the palm of your hand like a ping pong ball. They were sooo tiny, 2 drops from an eyedropper was a whole meal at first. You should have seen them in the Christmas tree!I was wonderful!! Oddly enough, I don't think they broke any ornaments.

We are well behind in decorating this year, but Christmas will be here in 5 days, decorations or not. Remember what they say in "How the Grinch stole Christmas":
"It came without presents. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags..." (Hope I remembered that right.) I do love Christmas! ...and it's almost HERE!

Does anyone have a good cake roll recipe? The internet and Pinterest weren't helpful

 

[LukeMeister]

Hmmm, no I don't. :/

 

[Poka_Doodle]

I might check my cake book now that I think about it

Hey, so I am sure at least Luke is like me and wanting Christmas to be sooner. And I have a good trick for passing the time, being on BYH
