Happy Christmas to all my friends

 

 

Christmas is just around the corner

Dear friends,

I’m so excited to be getting ready for my first Christmas! We got out all the Christmas decorations and I had such fun playing with the tinsel. There was a big mound of it and I buried myself inside, it was like playing Hide and Seek again!

 

I was so covered in tinsel that I thought I could be a Christmas tree myself! It was great fun being a tree, but I decided I might get a bit tired holding my hands in the air for the whole of Christmas! Do you like my new earrings?

 

Eventually I did manage to decorate the actual tree! I spent ages deciding where each bauble and fairy light should go. Now it looks like something magical from fairyland!

Next I got stuck into baking some mince pies for Santa. I wore my new pinny which was just as well as I got flour everywhere. I had to make some pastry and roll it out with the big heavy rolling pin. Then I cut out little bits of the pastry to make the mince pies from, and scooped mincemeat out from a jar. I might have put my paw in the jar too for a very little taste when no-one was looking, but that was just because I had to check that it tasted good!

My last job was to write my Christmas cards. I wanted to send my friends and brothers and sisters an extra special card. It took me ages to find one just for you, but I found a perfect one in the end - I’ll be posting it to you soon! 

So now I just need to count down to Christmas! I’ve been given a special advent calendar for puppies. I have to open a window every day, and behind each window is a piece of doggy chocolate - yum!! When there are no windows left to open it’s Christmas the next day! There aren’t very many left now... not long to go!!

A letter to Santa

As Christmas is just around the corner I decided to write a letter to Santa. It's so exciting to think the letters get to him so far away at the North Pole. I've been looking through toy catalogues and saw some things I'd like. I do hope I'll be on Santa's good list as I've tried very hard to be a well-behaved puppy, even though it's been very difficult sometimes!

I wrote in my best handwriting that I would like a spotty pillow, a spotty blanket, a spotty doll, a spotty doggy chew, a spotty purse, a spotty hat and a big spotty trampoline.

Then I thought that might sound a little bit greedy so I added that I’d love anything so long as it was spotty, because really I just love spots. 

I also put that I would leave him a little snack and a glass of milk for when he comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve. I must remember to leave a carrot or two for the reindeer as well as it helps them to see in the dark while they're pulling the sleigh. I might try and make Santa some mince pies as I don't think he'd like my doggy biscuits as much as me! 

Then I put a stamp on the envelope and walked to the post box to post my letter. I needed a bit of help to reach the slot because it was very high up. I don't know how long my letter will take to reach Santa as the North Pole is a very long way away but I'm sure it will get there!
