THe Official 2020 Christmas Thread(s)

[ladypeartree]

I have a huge family including 4 children ( one already home ) 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren two sisters ( again one home ) and over 100 cousins ( my mother was one of 9 children and my father one of 11 ) but I still spend Christmas day at home with my dogs for company and enjoy the peace and quiet . I have done volunteer work over the years but am now no longer considered fit enough and this year especially I am at high risk apparently We will not be having school or church celebrations unless there is a major miracle such as Christs second coming and I no longer put up a tree or any decorations ( not after fostering 24 pups one  Christmas period I cannot tell you how much they appreciated the tree etc ) .

I will spend the day rejoicing that I no longer have to stay up all night trying to finish putting together a celebration that didnt cost a lot followed by rounding up 4 children to get to church on time then to my parents for a meal with almost 2 dozen people and a birthday celebration for my youngest daughter who was born on December 25th then back home with very tired and overexcited children and an almost guaranteed work day following as I insisted on having Christmas eve and day off and had to then work boxing day and all over the new year . Now I can get up when I am ready ( normally between 5 and 6 am )  have what I want to eat ( always something simple ) and do whatever I feel like doing in between answering the phone It gives me so much more time to remember  the reason for the season

And you will have your Worthy family to celebrate with you.

Whales don't bark or fetch sticks.

Well, gee wiz, Captain Obvious,  tell me some more things I already know. 

Ladypeartree's pets bark and fetch things. That is what I was implying  as I suspect you know well.

Let's see if chicken can figure out the point here.

So how about a Christmas tree with a chicken at the top instead of an angel?

[Henry_iain]

But we may roast bantams. 

[Henry_iain]

It think that means yes.

How about Turduckin for Christmas?.
