Santa has a dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that in our house Santa has a dog and he\u2019s got good taste. It all started when Mum looked at how Santa could be secured to the roof. His head fell off. To be honest, his head has fallen off before, but this time Mum looked a little closer. His head can be put back on his body but the clip that holds it in place is broken. There is no easy way to repair Santa to make him safe to go on the roof. Mum thought about the macabre alternative of a headless Santa, but she\u2019s too soft hearted and didn\u2019t want to cause distress to passing children. Santa has therefore found himself a comfortable seat in the hall with his dog for company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No tree yet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t have a tree yet. Mum keeps saying she will go to get it for us and then something else comes up. She was going today, but now the plumber is coming so she has said it might have to be delayed again. I went and pointed my paw at the calendar and stared at her. It\u2019s just, we all like having the tree in the house and we want it here for as long as possible. It really cheers a place up on a dull winter\u2019s day. Ari\u2019s promised not to pee on it and I\u2019ve promised not to open any parcels. She said if she can\u2019t get there today then she will ring to order it and collect it on Saturday. I suppose we\u2019ll just have to be patient. That\u2019s not our strong suit if you haven\u2019t already realised. We are a \u2018want it now\u2019 sort of a breed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the bright side, I think the fencing wire might come today so if Mum can get that fixed I\u2019ll have a bit more freedom again \u2013 until I find another hole in the defences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma is delighted to find that Santa has a dog and he looks awfully like the three of them – clearly Santa has good taste.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24409,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[123,50],"class_list":["post-24408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christmas","tag-christmas","tag-entlebucher","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
