Oh how happy I am the holiday season is upon us and I have an excuse to drink straight from the bottle (because I’m so classy).
Packing up my rust bucket as snuggly as Santa’s sleigh, I hauled my Christmas decor back to my mini manse, excited to commence the sparkly gaudiness I like to call seasonal ornamentation.
Naturally my elves could hardly wait to lay down and take naps on my boxes of goodies as soon as I arrived home.
Teddy sniffed and pawed every piece of shiny tinsel attached to my pink tree before allowing it to leave the box.
He also tried to end up electrocuted like the cat in Griswold Family Christmas but I was able to yank the lights away in the nick of time.
Careful not to lift a paw, my feline duo found the Christmas tree box the most relaxing venue on the planet while I assembled the tree.
And as soon as the pink lights glistened, positions were assumed. Being that this is New Cat’s very first holiday season with us, Ted was slightly perturbed to find that he has to share the tree. I was simply thrilled NC decided not to climb it.
Morphing into an elf, I spent the rest of Friday evening trying to make my pad resemble the North Pole.
While I was busy channeling Santa, my Iowa twins were out and about in the newly fallen snow.
On Saturday we had one final Nashville college football tailgate at my mini manse, cheering on our mediocre at best Iowa Hawkeyes.
Mr. Bear was so upset that this was the final viewing party that he promptly took a three-hour nap on his grandma’s lap.
Keeping our family tradition alive, my dad and I decided to drink straight from our moonshine bottles in lieu of shot glasses because our Hawkeyes lost yet another game.
By the end of the weekend, the flu found its way to my little Iowa bebes, who’ll hopefully be in recovery before Auntie CBXB gets her hands on them in a few days for Thanksgiving!
Here’s hoping you and yours stay healthy for a safe and happy holiday week!
CBXB
Dicks in a box. Lol. I see what you did there. Have a great Thanksgiving with those babies! Let me know if you stall in St. Louis by chance.
We didn’t stall in STL – I got sick, so my parents drove straight through. Hope you had a fabulous Turkey Day!
Hahaha – I’m so glad you drink out of the bottle and love Christmas too! It’s destiny : ) Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you had a fabulous Turkey Day! I drank from the bottle for four days straight. ‘Cause I’m classy like that! XO
Ooh please can I hire the Inspector gadget duo ? They were so cute in that photo in-front of the pink three, you sure can see that they were all comfortable in your already Christmas atmosphere ! Hope that the twin will get better very soon and I wish you a very lovely evening in your new Christmas home π !
You may borrow the Inspector Gadget duo anytime you need their assistance. Although they meow loudly when hungry! The twins feel much better now – thank you! XO
Can’t wait to decorate my house too… I Hope this weekend! Kiss kiss dear
Hope your house is all Christmasy now!
Inspectors Clawseau One and Two.
And they keep just getting more and more curious as the decorations keep coming out!
I’m glad to see you’re doing better than your Hawkeyes, CBXB! Ouch. But the mini-manse looks fab for Christmas already. Griswold’s look out, here come Ted and New Cat!
Oh and have we gone to town Griswold’s style since Thanksgiving…I’m bracing myself for the electric bill! Hope you had a fabulous Turkey Day!
Hey girl! I’ve missed reading you. Everything OK? Getting ready for a houseful here, hub, son, DIL. Lots of eating, drinking, surfing (them) cleaning up after them and cooking for everyone(me) Hope you Tday is happy!
Strewth, you go girl (rock star I mean!) π
I was wondering if you were ok….now I see you have been taking your medicine and feel relieved……………
Well thanks for thinking of me! π
Good to see you back drinking and blogging! Ugh – Christmas already?
I KNEW you would hate that I had Christmas before Thanksgiving! But in my defense, leaving for Iowa on Wednesday, back Sunday and having a party the following weekend. Had to be prepped and ready for the shenanigans!
