May I wish a very Happy Christmas to all my friends, wherever you are. I didn\u2019t get to see Santa last night. There was one point where I heard something and I went and tapped my mistress to say, \u201cIs it him? Is that noise Santa?\u201d but it turned out to be just the sound of the central heating boiler starting up. It might have been Santa. My mistress didn\u2019t seemed thrilled to be woken at 3am. She would have been upset if it had been Santa and she\u2019d missed him.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t be opening the present until later, so I can\u2019t tell you what I\u2019ve got yet. It seems mean making me wait that long. It will be particularly hard as they are all going next door for Christmas lunch and Matilda thought it better that if she and Tigger were going to be there, I should stay at home. What are the chances of my resisting opening one or two of the presents whilst they are out? They aren\u2019t even planning to light the log fire for me before they go, frankly I think that is a bit on the mean side. I hope they will bring me back some turkey.<\/p>\n

I could write a whole book out of the \u2018parsnip incident\u2019 but I\u2019ll try to keep it brief. My mistress couldn\u2019t find parsnips in Belgium so asked my master to bring some back from England. He wasn\u2019t happy to have to carry a dozen parsnips but eventually agreed. When my mistress told our neighbour she had managed to get the parsnips it turned out that our neighbour\u2019s sister had also managed to bring some, so my mistress swore all out neighbours to secrecy so that my master wasn\u2019t upset. Except my master left the parsnips in the fridge in England so as it turns out my mistress is enjoying a laugh at his expense and the secret parsnips are no longer secret!<\/p>\n
