Christmas Traditions

Hmm, I wonder where today's number is?

Today, as part of my Christmas festivities, I thought I would share some Christmas traditions that take place in our house.

First of all, as you can see above that is my advent calendar. I didn't want any of those ordinary pet advent calendars. I love chocolate, I reckon it's through living with Simon that has sent me choccy crazy!! I love the stuff, so naturally I can't wait until I can open my calendar every day. In this Doctor Who calendar you get either a dalek or a TARDIS on the chocolate, and some days you get little gifts too!!! YAYYYY!!!

Here's me with a Christingle that I have made. A Christingle is a special symbol seen at Advent which reminds us of the love of Jesus. For you fact fans out there, the orange represents the world, the red ribbon represents the blood of Jesus, the fruit and sweets are supposed to be the fruit of the earth and the four seasons, plus the lighted candle represents Christ, the light of the world.

Hope no one's looking so I can have a quick nibble of the sweets!!!

That's all for now, check back soon for more about my Christmas experience.

O Christmas Tree...

Merry Christmas Bloggers!!!

Tom here to wish you a merry christmas. Thought it was high time I showed you some of my preparations for Christmas which is - shock horror, only three days away! I am so excited about it all, Simon has almost had to ground me several times, through all the rushing up the chimmy to see if there's any sign of Santa, and scrambling around the christmas tree!!

The picture above was taken at the beginning of the month when Simon was decorating his christmas tree. For some reason though, us cats seem to love trees, most often we tend to scramble high up and then realise we can't get down again. However being an intellectual cat like I am, things like that are beneath me. Although I do think Simon did get annoyed from constantly sitting in the tree when he was trying to decorate it.

He threatened at one point that he would stick me on the top of the tree instead of the star if I wasn't careful. So then, I scrambled down the tree and began helping him.

And here is the result. Good isn't it?

Keep checking back over the Christmas period, as I've got plenty of things to tell you about. Plus on Christmas Eve, you can log on and see me prepare for Christmas day, and a special story to share entitled The Night Before Tom's Christmas.

See you then,

Tom.
