Got the cookies baked and shipped, and a few trinkets picked up and wrapped. I feel a bit more festive. Christmas music helps, too. Eleven days till Christmas.
Can not keep wrapped presents under the tree because Pepper considers all ribbon to be her rightful prey. Maybe I should get her some nightcrawlers to play with. I don't want to let a snake loose in the house because it might get away. Pepper's enthusiastic in her pursuit of all things serpentine, but she hasn't much experience. Runaway nightcrawlers I can wrangle.
It's ok if this isn't the most merry Christmas ever. I've had many merry, and there are many more to come. Quiet, grateful, and peaceful has a lot to be said for it as well. There's no need to force a feeling.
Do pet stores sell wind up snakes?
ReplyDeleteOur tree is finally up and even decorated :) Christmas music is playing. I should light some candles.
You don't have to use ribbons, you know! Good to hear your cookies are done. I'll probably do mine on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteI know what puts me in the Christmas spirit: Snow, the smell of an orange being peeled, the smell of pine needles and listening to Bing Crosby sing Christmas carols. Sigh.... :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a leather string that Uggy attacks. Might work on Pepper.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I could get the danged tree into the house and decorated it might help me get in the spirit!! When did firs start working out???
ReplyDeleteI am smiling and gave out cards, but still the feeling is lacking as my family is so far away...husband is ill...maybe it will come...
I think worms in the house might take things in the wrong direction!
