I’ve just had a panicky call from The Chicken Lady.
“I can’t find my Brussels sprouts. I’d rather have them than turkey. Have you got any spare?”
Luckily I’d bought some extra ones – we do have a few in the kitchen garden but the plants weren’t very productive this year.
Christmas traditions are so strong. Christmas isn’t Christmas for Danny if there’s not a ham to guzzle. Christmas stockings are a must for me. Talking on the phone to my mum this morning she wanted a list of everything that Danny had put in mine.
“A bicycle bell, a calculator, face wipes, a hottie, Murray River salt and a gun. There was chocolate money but it had been eaten by the mouse that was living in The Rat Room.”
“Did you say a gun?”
“A toy gun.”
“Why would you want a gun?”
“I think it was on offer.”
“Oh.”
Actually, the gun looks rather fun. It fires foam discs. I just have to find some batteries. This might be just the thing for tackling the cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling.
Happy Christmas everyone!

A Belated Happy Christmas!
Removing cobwebs with a foam disc firing gun – were we separated at birth?

Oh that put a smile on my face. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Thank goodness for you. Panicky was being kind I was borderline hysterical, the thought of not having bread sauce and brussel sprouts was too much to bear. You officially saved christmas.
Taditions are strong I also still leave out Sherry and mince pies for Father christmas.
Happy Christmas – I think it’s funny you got salt from the Murray River, which is about 30 mins from our house 🙂
Happy Christmas! Bacon butties and stocking emptying are a must
Happy Christmas to Fiona, Danny and the MIn Pins. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
That’s a novel way of dealing with spiderwebs!
Happy Christmas Fiona (and Danny)!
For me Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without our traditional cooked breakfast and the turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
