Christmas is declared open. At least that\u2019s the case in this house. I did wonder why Mum was doing so much cleaning yesterday, but apparently it\u2019s so she can put the Christmas decorations up. It\u2019s going to take a few days to get sorted, but we\u2019re all scheduled to help, which is great. We have to promise not to cause any of the strings of lights to become unnecessarily ravelled, but I think we can manage that. There are a few problems that we\u2019re going to need to discuss. We don\u2019t have a chimney. Oh don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not silly enough to be worrying how Santa Paws will get in. Mum\u2019s already told me that she\u2019s left a key, so that\u2019s sorted. I\u2019m more worried about where we\u2019re going to hang our stockings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past our stockings have hung on the mantlepiece and I always knew where to go to check them. Now we don\u2019t have a mantlepiece. We don\u2019t have anywhere that looks like a mantelpiece. Mum has suggested they could go on the banister that runs along the little landing about the lounge, but I\u2019m not sure about that. We have the other mantlepiece decorations to go somewhere too. Mum has had an idea of where the outdoor Santa could go. She thinks it\u2019s going to be possible for him to go on the roof as the velux window is easy to reach to attach him. As long as she isn\u2019t planning to climb up any ladders then we\u2019ll be fine. I think she\u2019d quite like a sled and a reindeer to go on the roof too, but she may be getting carried away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know the old saying. If Mum is going to be getting out her Christmas jumpers then I suppose I may as well show willing. We need to find the santa hat for the cuddly moose head that\u2019s up on the wall too. Never let it be said that this is a normal household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
