Well what a busy time of year it is!
I'm sure, like me, you're all madly indulging in the Christmas spirit:
Catching up with friends
 |
| Not sure if this is a fur-friend or a furry mop....?! |
Enjoying festive food
Nothing more festive than eating an antler.. I'm assuming it's reindeer antler!
And of course, practicing the perfect pre-Santa slumber
 |
| Hee hee... Santa will never notice I've kept one eye open... |
This will be my second Christmas, and although I don't remember much of my first one, I could never forget the amazing gift that Santa left me last year!
Can you believe it?! A giant, edible candy cane!!!
Well ever since mum told me it's nearly Christmas time again, I've naturally been waiting for my giant candy cane to arrive...
But strangely, it hasn't?!
Instead, over the last week, some bizarre looking intruders have been appearing all over my house, invading my happy home!
 |
| What the heck are these things?! |
 |
| These wooden star people don't look very friendly... |
 |
| And neither do these winged weirdos... |
 |
| I can see it, but I can't reach it... |
 |
| How am I supposed to get up there and eat - I mean greet - these new arrivals?! |
At first I was incensed, and naturally engaged in a full day's sulking.
 |
| Sulking... and hugging my teddy... but mainly sulking... |
But then Mum told me the intruders are not permanent visitors (thank goodness!), but are actually special decorations that will help us to prepare for Santa's arrival.
Well I'm sorry mum, but I don't think Santa would want to share a space with these freaky, long-haired creatures...
 |
| Don't look so smug, I can see you're up to no good... |
And what did the pot plant ever do wrong to you?!
 |
| Poor guy, I know what it's like to be dressed up in silly outfits... |
But aside from the disappointment in my mum's interior decorating...
There were some very welcome arrivals this week -
Christmas Cards from my Blogville friends!!!
 |
| Open it, open it, open it! |
 |
| Woohoo!!! |
 |
| Two cards!!! |
 |
| This one is from Lassie and Benji! |
 |
| And this was the inside of Abby Lab's card!! |
Well naturally they took pride of place in our living room...
 |
| These look much better than mum's silly decorations! |
And now I'm hoping for many more of my fur-friends' cards to arrive..
So I can use them to cover up all of mum's awful decorations... and make sure Santa Paws isn't afraid to stop by my place again!!
 |
| Hurry up Santa!! I'm waiting... |
Until next time!
"...because there's nothing minor about being a Morris..."
your housplants look gtreat!!! and I like the trick to sleep with one open eye... maybe I can try that trick too and I can eat a piece of santa when he enters my crib?
ReplyDeleteHa ha yes I definitely recommend the one eye sleep trick! It's also good for keeping an eye on your pawents and making sure they don't eat food without you getting involved! 😂
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Morrie, a word of advise from your elder - the best way to enjoy Christmas festivities is to embrace the fact that there will be indignities involved (dare I mention antlers?) but on the whole its worth it for the treats.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie.
Hmm, well I certainly appreciate the warning but I can tell you there will be no antlers on me anytime soon!! (And don't give mum ideas... 😬)
DeleteBut I LOVE the sound of all the treats... I really hope Santa Paws dishes out the goodies!!!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie :)
Wow! That is the biggest candy cane that I have ever seen! I hope Santa brings me one just like that one! Your home is looking very festive, Morrie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Molly!! I think if you've been really, really good you will get one!
DeleteMum says eating a tennis ball was not so good, so I may not get one this year :( But I hope she's wrong.. I'm sure Santa knows that deep down I'm a good guy!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Your decorations are looking great.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I'm slowly getting used to them.. but next time I'm left alone I am determined to get my chompers on one of those wooden figures... ;)
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Woohoo, Santy Paws is coming!!!! AND, we pups are gonna have FUNS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LUFFS the decorations Morrie although like you I'd be miffed if there were outta my reach, those figures look pawfect playthingys don't they
AND, two cards already wow, and I bet there's more on the way.......
Loves and licky kisses
Princess Leah xxx
Yes I really can't wait for Santa Paws to come Princess Leah!! I wonder how many more sleeps to go?!
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
what a festive time you are having!!!! Sure wish I wasn't Jewish BOL Barks and licks and love, Dakota DakotasDen
ReplyDeleteThanks Dakota! Yes it is pretty fun I must admit, and I'm slowly getting used to the silly decorations - but I still think I'm entitled to at least a little chew..
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Morrie it looks like you are doing a great job getting ready for Christmas. I know the decoratons are a bother but they will be back in their box and not bothering you soon enough.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right.. but it is rather annoying when Pawents put items that are obviously meant to be chew toys just out of reach!! Mum can be very silly like that...
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
We put up our tree this weekend with the help of friends and their pups. Beckett and Keltic were far more interested this year, maybe the excitement of having company.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds fun!! Did you get to have a good nibble on some of the baubles? I think a tree full of treats is a good idea..
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
You do high fives? We don't do tricks, but if we got a bone like that, we'd do them. So the cards are rolling in. Be sure to keep track of how many YOU get compared to the peeps....Christmas fun.
ReplyDeleteYou noticed that I do high-fives?! That's one of my proudest tricks! (Well in truth I don't really have any others but don't tell anyone that...)
DeleteI will definitely keep track of all my cards - it's so exciting when they arrive!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
It looks like you are pretty excited for Christmas, Morrie. We love our antlers - bet you do too.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber
I think antlers are one of the BEST treats because they last so long and taste soooooooooo good!
DeleteI don't get them often enough even though I keep reminding mum and dad to get me them...
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Wow! That was a huge yummy candy cane! Did you eat it all up yet? We have one of those candle-go-round things too! We're going to light it on Christmas Eve when our Oma comes to visit. I haven't seen any strange squeaky toy-like decorations yet. As you know, in my house, all squeaky toys should be remanded to me for de-squeaking and stuffing removal! Have a great Holiday!
ReplyDeleteYes it was a HUGE candy cane!! But don't worry I gobbled it all up :)
DeleteMum hasn't lit the candle-go-round thing yet but it has some interesting wooden people on it that I'd quite like to chew... so maybe mum is saving it to give to me?!
Have a wonderful holiday!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie :)
morrie...wishin ewe N yur familee a most Merry Christmas anda happee healthee 2018 !! ♥♥♥ ☺☺☺
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Sending you lots of good wishes too!!
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie :)

Hazel & Mabel
Oh wow that is soooooooooo exciting!! I've been checking the letter box every day!!
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie :)
We love your wooden decorations. We are sure you will have more cards soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of them too! They look perfect for chewing.. I just can't understand why they've been put out of my reach?!
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie :)
Morrie it's looking a lot like Christmas at your house with all those decorations and now you have some cards too! Lucky you! I'm sure Santa Paws will be VERY GOOD to you this year - you've been good - right?
ReplyDeleteLove, Teddy
Hi Teddy! Well I think I've been good.. for some reason dad gets grumpy with me when I chew his socks and wake him up at 2am.. but I think Santa will realise that's just me expressing my great love and respect for others... ;)
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
OMD I almost reached through the computer screen to
ReplyDeletehelp you with the candy cane. That sucker is huge!
All the decorations and food look so pretty.
Maybe Santa will bring you one this year too.
xo Astro
ps we can hear your mom laughing
in the clip. That's so funny.
Hey there Astro! This candy cane was so large there would have been plenty for you! I am really hoping Santa remembers to look after me again this year,
DeleteLots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
HOLY WINTER WONDERLAND MORRIE!!! Your peeps sure have broken out all the stops with the creature invaders!!! Sorry you can't gets to them, butts I thinks a good barkin' is in order fursure. Oh, I barked at our wreath too...I means..WTD??! Don't worries, my cardie is coming...Ma just put in the mail todays, so hopefully it'll make it before the Big Guy comes!
ReplyDeleteNows, if you gets another HUGE candy cane, you gots to hook a gurl up! I could totally do some damage with that thing!
and the video...BRAVO! (oh, and I, too, break out all my tricks if Ma is taking too long to gives me the treatie....BOL!)
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Hello Ruby! Yes mum has really gone all out with those horrible home invaders.. and don't worry I have made my unhappiness well known!
DeleteI'm glad to hear you barked at your wreath.. they are silly things that should be put in our reach to play with or need to be out of sight altogether...
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Hi Morris. Abby Lab helped me find your blog. You know us terriers have to stick together, so I dropped by to say hi. I like your blog a lot, so I asked Mommy to hit the follow button. We'll see. She doesn't have much luck with following anything but Wordpress blogs. You met a puli! Cool! (Mommy told me what it was.) Oh, and watch out for those trolls. At least they aren't those evil elfs that have been popping up this time of year. *play bows* Xena
ReplyDeleteThanks Xena and great to meet you!!
DeleteAbby Lab sent me a great Christmas Card this year - it was so exciting!!
I'll make sure to follow along with all your adventures now and into the New Year :)
Lots of licks, your new friend Morrie!
Morrie your decorations are very lovely...and we enjoyed seeing the lovely thing with propellers on top!
ReplyDeleteHugs madi your bfff
Oh thank you Madi!!
DeleteI'm glad you like them.. I must admit I'm slowly getting used to them all - although I still prefer my home without the invaders!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Wow, Morrie! It's really nice to see your cute decorations! And...happy belated birthday!!
ReplyDeleteMomo & Pinot xo
Thanks Momo & Pinot!
DeleteMy home is certainly very festive!!
So great to see all my fur-friends celebrating Christmas all over the world too!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
Oh Morrie that giant Candy Cane is like an all day sucker for a human. I bet it lasted most of the year. You got two cards WOWZA. I did not put my addy on the Christmas list this year but I have been sending my e-card to friends. I did not see an e-mail addy for you in your profile so I could not send you my card but I sure wish you a SantaPaws sack fill of goodies.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays
Sweet William The Scot
Yes it was a super big candy cane!!!
DeleteBut I must admit it didn't last that long... hee hee!
Thank you for your thoughtful wishes!!
It's so fun to see all my fur-friends celebrating Christmas all over the world!
Lots of licks, your good friend Morrie!
