The new bed

It's Christmas eve day and not a creature is stirring except for Noodle. As soon as I got her new bed out of the bag she was ready to hop in it. She first sniffed it, then scratched at it and now she can't stay out of it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS NOODLE.

The decorations

I'm not in very much of a holiday mood. I'm coming down with a cold and I have a scratchy throat. Bah humbug. The only decoration I put up was an advent banner. I finished it last week. It looks nice. There are 25 little pockets to put little treats in. There is a nice little surprise in day 25 for Bob. He will enjoy it. For Christmas I'm not doing anything. No special meal. We're just gonna graze on appetizers all day. There will be very little gift giving. Times are tough. And we really don't need any more stuff.

The flag

Nothing much going on. I hung up the current flag for the season. It was finished last year but done after Christmas. It looks pretty cute. It's called crazy eights.
