I take Christmas for all it's worth, too! I like to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas somehow, even if it's just on my own for fun.
My house has recently been taken over not so much by teddies, but by "Nippers," the name of the dog in the familiar "His Master's Voice" trademark (the dog listening to the phonograph). Looking around from my couch right now I count five of them, and I know there are others squirreled away in other locations. Woof!
Omg that sounds amazing! I’m going to have to look that little doggie up. Sounds adorable! I asked my husband if we could take the tree down yet and he was most offended. End of Jan earliest, I was told!
