our idea of Christmas




Hello dear fellow bloggers!
Here we are wishing you all a most happy and peaceful festive period ... 

Darcy and Bingley 
(preparing the tree, in their own special way!)

N-O-E-L, out come the decorations. 

The little fairy is over 90 years old and much cherished
(haven't indicated this to the boys because they would probably try and bite her head off).


Bingley assists (not) with decoration assembly!


Present wrapping?
get in there..!

Mr Bingley shows what he thinks of a spot of festive cookery ...
(the tail of disdain)


Guest bed: warmed by a feline welcome.
(see Mr Darcy by the pillow, with Mr Bingley in front)

"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?" 
- Bob Hope

  2. my dear boys, thankyou for your lovely comment and kind wishes but the pleasure has been all mine- you've made me smile and laugh more times than you'll know!
    Happy, furry Christmas wishes to you both and to your lovely mum (perhaps not so many of the furry wishes to her, but extra happy ones!)

  3. How lovely! Though we think you're brave, even putting the 90+-year old fairy out!

    We wish you a joyous holiday, a wonderful Christmas. "Peaceful" probably isn't on the agenda for us, what with our adjoining neighbours, but we'll do our best. :-)

    Purrs,

    Nicki and Derry and human Kim

  7. Have a fabulous Christmas! My problem with Picasa is that is says that it is compacting and I have lost half my photos and now can't seem to look at the ones that I still seem to have without a box coming up saying there was an error and asking if I want to send an error report. The guy at the computer shop says I have to uninstall Picasa - loosing all my photos and re-installing it and starting again! I want to weep!
    Love the photos of the cats.

  12. That's a lovely post. We love the gift-wraping photo best! But all the others are very much in the spirit of things too.

    We totally agree about the loving!

    Purrs,

  19. Dear Helen,
    Thanks ever so much for trying to resolve the problem with Picasa. I did uninstall and tried to reinstall as suggested by a forum member but no luck - the same thing kept happening. I think i'll just have to bite the bullet and delete Picasa completely and then start all over again.
    Have a great Xmas.

  22. oooh, I just don't know what's a going on, but this is my third attempt to comment - you can select which one you like best, if they all turn up on your dashboard ;-)
    Happy Christmas to all the Havens and to you two gorgeous boys, who I see you are getting into the festive spirit .. ;-)
    Sending you much love and hugs at this special time - I love the Bob quote.

    PS: We had the selfsame fairy when kiddies - now my sister has it but I've no idea how she snaffled it into her possession ;-)

  24. Cats are so very helpful, especially at wrapping gifts!! I wonder that Mr. B is not helping in the kitchen - surely he could trip you if he tried...

  25. Thank you for your Christmas wishes Helen (and the boys!) Boris has been chewing the parcels under the tree and generally being naughty as usual! Have a wonderful Christmas. Lizzie & the naughty cats xxx (PS love the expression "Tail of disdain") - brilliant!
