Let's make Christmas fun

I have several great grandchildren from my son-in-law's kids so I enjoyed getting small things for them - the eldest kids are old enough to like money and for the littlies - I hope to find some colouring books and pencils or crayons to go around different ages etc -

What I love doing that is fun is filling mini-pavlova cases with cream and then making faces with raspberries and blueberries - I can tell you people love these - they always disappear -

I will be spending Christmas Day with my daughter's family and this will be good - I don't see the kids very often but they are wonderful children - all of them are really great people

It will be a big day and as for shopping - because of my knee surgery I haven't been able to get around that much but I think I have enough to make gift-giving fun for all those I give too

I wish all of you the best Christmas possible - alas - for many that won't be very good - spending Christmas day alone can be really tough and I will be thinking of anyone who has that to deal with - one year I had that and what a long day that was

Good to see you here @NatalieS.

I love the Cat's Christmas Songs @Former-Member

So everyone - my Cat Christmas Story

The first Christmas I was in this place I had just moved an I wasn't able to move everyone from my previous place and among the stuff I left behind were my Christmas decorations so I didn't have any that year

The next year my daughter took me shopping for some at a Christmas Shop and I have a little tree that already has ornaments on it and I added some - and a friend helped me string tinsel about and it started to look a bit like Christmas

Now the Cat Story

Between Christmas and New Year just after I moved here a friend brought me Companion Cat who was about half-grown by then - and she has another name - when she was younger she seemed hyper-wired and the second year she was fully grown and when I put my Christmas Tree out for the first time she attacked it -

Wow - I did not expect that - it toppled but luckily none of the ornaments broke but I guess Companion Cat felt as if the Christmas tree attacked her because she has left it alone since

That's such a short story - anyone else got a Christmas Tree Attacking Cat?

My cat Jelly attack absolutely everything that she can get her furry paws into @Owlunar Especially when I'm out.

So if I had a Christmas tree up, she would definitely attack that.

She wouldn't just knock it over, she would shred the leaves off the branches...

Anything new, or anything that I've just put there has special appeal for shredding.

I'm so glad that that she seems to have stopped shredding my documents & printouts - she's found other things to attack instead..

Wishing you a happy Christmas, @Owlunar

Back in the day, the best part of Christmas for me was choosing the presents, and it wasn't always about expensive things, sometimes it was the small homemade treats that had people smiling.

Now it's just hubby and myself and our relationship is not the best so Christmas is always lonely.

Take care and all the best.

Well yes @utopia - @Adge

Companion Cat thought the tree attacked her - and once the computer did

I had an old desk top with a nature them and Companion Cat got up to look at the fish on the screen saver and actually jumped all four paws onto the keyboard - and a crazy-bird alarm screeched at her and she nearly ran through the front door without waiting for me to open up - like a cartoon cat

I fell onto the floor laughing and you know - cats hate to be laughed at

When it comes to Christmas stories I have a beauty about my brother - wanna hear? Okay I will tell it anyway

We were eating our dinner outside beside the pool and a bird released its load right over my brother's plate - he was always the fall-guy and never took it well - of course we laughed and he got really flustered and wow - we told him how lucky he was that cows don't fly and eventually - how lucky he was that Mum had gone inside to get him another plateful

Okay - another time I was dishing up the icecream and it was set so hard - I was using the slotted spoon and it broke that the large chunk of icecream flew across the table and landed in my grandson's glass of beer - btw the family has let me forget that one

Love your story about Jelly Adge - my cat wants to read too and shreads paper that's on the floor - and she is old but still doing it

More Christmas stories peeps - ah - use some poetic licence - they don't have to be Christmas stories - just short funny stories to make Christmas fun

You can find anything in clipart

Has everyone done their Christmas Shopping?
