I know its been posted before but, its Christmas time

 

That was my first time seeing that so thank you, my wife and i loved it and we can definitly relate especially when you got 2 puppies and one older dog.

 

Very good. lol.

 

Funny post!! True though

 

hrmmmmm why does that sound so familiar?

 

Very familiar indeed. As I'm typing this a VHS tape of "A Charlie Brown's Christmas" is being waved in my face. ("Peeze mommy. Char-ee Bown.") So this year I gotta wrap presents in the above fashioned manner while throwing a 2 1/2 year old in the mix and instead of a puppy and an older dog it's two older dogs who act like puppies. The tree has been up less than 48 hours and there is already a trail of ornaments through the house. Merry Christmas!!

 

loved it.

I got my first REAL tree this year. Bad Idea. I have an unaltered male that thinks the house and "outside" have merged lol

 

LOL I love it......I can just picture him "Char-ee Bown! Char-ee Bown!". How cute.

Loved the post, Marty. It's something I can relate to as well.

So far mine have not really bothered the tree. Only two ornaments have been knocked off (but not broken), so I am proud of them. At first, Asia could not understand why there was a tree in the house and refused to even walk by it. After dragging her up to it and her taking a sniff, she is fine with it. I will have to crate them while I wrap gifts this year or it will be a huge mess. LOL

 

Guys/Ladys, this is for you'll, my child is 23 yrs old and I don't indulge any longer Lol

I did for many yrs though

 

LOL. My child is also learning about commercials right now. We are watching "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer" and every time a commercial comes on he starts wailing.

 

Wait till he sees Lilbit the red nosed dog pulling Santa's sleigh, (nose a beaming)

 

I know the feeling! Paco pees on the tree skirt and any presents under it...therefore we have to wait until the last min to put presents under the tree.

I miss the old days, when my kids believed, when Christmas was still "magical". Now they all want cash...lol...
