It seems that Christmas is going to be coming in quite a big way! And you know the old saying, if you can\u2019t beat them, join them! I\u2019ve helped Mum get out all the Christmas decorations so she can sort them out. Believe me, when you stand back and look at them there are an awful lot. She has already developed an alarming tendency to refer to 1st<\/sup> December as \u2018the grand switch on\u2019. That rather presumes she can get them all up and ready by then. We\u2019re only at the planning phase, but I\u2019m busy noting down everything she wants to do. We\u2019re deciding which bushes and trees the outside lights will go on. A little worryingly, I caught her looking at buying some additional lights earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tree is Aristotle\u2019s department. He always gets very excited about the prospect of bringing a tree indoors \u2013 usually for all the wrong reasons. Mum is busy trying to find out if the place she normally buys it from can deliver or whether she needs to get it from somewhere else. I asked if we could have a tree in the office and Mum said I need to discuss it with Shadow. We\u2019ve got a spare artificial tree and it can either go in the office or in Shadow\u2019s room, so it really does depend what Shadow says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one that we three dogs are completely agreed upon. We\u2019ve put our paws down. She can start wearing her Christmas jumpers as soon as she wants to, but we do not want to have to listen to her Christmas music for more than the month of December. It wouldn\u2019t be so bad if she\u2019d got more of it, but when you hear the same things on repeat over and over it\u2019s enough to drive the mildest mannered dog insane. I\u2019m going to have to work out which is the \u2018off button\u2019 just in case I need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Christmas is coming and Wilma is surveying the decorations that Mum is planning to put up.
