Writing Xmas Cards

[kallis3]

We buy the dogs a present for Christmas, but not an advent calendar. They have treats every day.

I just like them to have a gift on Christmas Day, once it's opened then all will be mixed together (as they are all the same) and that's it.

we always used to buy our pets a gift, I rem as a child our dog sasha used to actually open it too, ripping off the paper LOL

[kallis3]

Ours just smell the box and know it's for them. We open it, give them a biscuit and then they are put away to be doled out as and when.

For the first time ever this year we bought two stockings for the dogs today, I think I'm getting soft in my old age!

[kallis3]

We tell our local pet shop owner what we want, how much we want to spend and leave it to her.

Ours gets treats (when deserved),but the advent calendar is extra, can't leave them out [:D]

They all get a Christmas presents too...Dobby's got a new coat, personalised with his favourite footie club [:D] Sssssh don't tell him [:D]

[kallis3]

Ours are just biscuits and chocolates. It's costing us £18 for the three of them anyway! They have daily treats throughout the year.

They have coats bought last winter (or spring in Topsy's case!) from Ebay. They don't get anything else.

Wow it has gone insane with posts in here lol so thought I should check in!

Glad I am not alone on the tree going up last weekend front like Kallis and Pandy. Mine went up last weekend as my girlfriend wanted to help (Her Mum only puts a little rubbish one up) and she is working today and next weekend (Retail).

As for gifts for pets I have got my Mum and Dad's dogs something lol. I am thinking of getting a pet as I badly want one but work too long hours (Different posting for that one to discuss methinks.)

Seeing my good lady 2moro as we are off to see The Nutcracker at The Grand in Leeds, she kindly booked and apid for it as she has always wanted to go. 3 weeks ago she took me to see Beauty and The Beast which was great!

Wow Luke, am so jealous, would love to take my daughter to see Nutcracker again, I took my daughter last year to see the ballet at Hull New theatre....she'd go nuts over beauty and beast.

[kallis3]

Ours wouldn't have gone up quite so early, and it is a bit of a rubbish fibre optic one!

We used to have a huge real one, then scaled that down, have had several artificial ones - each smaller than the last! This one will be remembered by those who attended FF last year.

I am sure that we will end up with nothing the way we are going.

[lukeofyorkshire]

I did not want to go, not a fan of this kind of stuff normally. But Beauty and The Beast won me over. She is so good to me and I do not know why lol.

[kallis3]

Afraid my hubby would not do ballet at all!

[lukeofyorkshire]

I'll do owt for my woman Jan, plus I have a policy of trying owt once [:D]

[kallis3]

We've been married too long now Luke! There is no way he would do ballet, even if we were on the brink of divorce!

[lukeofyorkshire]

Haha Jan, we men do have the habit of getting stuck in our ways!
