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!!
