Getting into the yule spirit

 We went to Brumingham at the weekend because lots of German people have come to make it all festive. The council has been good and put pretty lights on so that everybody knows that Yule is coming.

There were lots of stalls selling pretty things but the best bit was the food because there were pretzels and pancakes and cheesy things and frankfurters and burgers and fruity bits covered in chocolate and we had loads of them.

What are you doing about Christmas?

Hello everybody. Sorry I've not blogged for ages but I need mummy's help to get online and she's been busy. (We can Tweet sometimes because Moo knows how to use Uncclclecle Kevin's phone.)

Last night just before we went to bed mummy said we have to start thinking about christmas. Well some of us think about christmas all year (mentioning no names but some of the younger cows come to mind!) because they are always planning how to get more swag.

Moo said she only said it to make us behave ourselves because Sandra Clause only brings pressies to good dragons and cows but I think she means that there's lots to do to make it fun and it's only a few weeks away now.

We always help with getting things ready. It's REALLY big in our house because we celebrate christmas with lots of other people and Unclclcelcle Kevin, and we celebrate Yule with some people and mummy so we have two big parties and pressies for both and the decorations have to go up early and we gets loads of good food too and it goes on for weeks. (well, two weeks anyway)

So anyway I think what she meant was we have to start getting things ready. We made paper chains a couple of years ago and we decorate a tree every year because we have our own little plush-sized one. But what I really need to do is go shopping so I can buy mummy and Uncncnlecle Kevin some pressies and maybe stuff for the cows too.

Have you done your christmas shopping yet?

Chocolate Christmas stuff!

Look what we got. You can tell it's Christmas because there's all sorts of good stuff about.


The box had all sorts of odd things in it so we had to read the instructions to find out what to do with them all.


There was a bag of chocolate buttons and Moo said we should eat them but the instructions said melt them and pour it into the plastic thing.


When the chocolate set it came out in Christmas shapes and then I had to decorate them with the tube of red stuff and the silver balls.


The others let me do the decorating because I'm the arty one. Well I do lots of painting and stuff so they said I wouldn't make so much mess. And I think Moo was too busy eating the leftover chocolate!


After they were finished we put them in little bags and hung them on the tree. This is a cross-eyed reindeer!

When's Sandra coming?

Mummy says Yule is coming and we do Yule as well as Christmas and that means we get to have two lots of presents AND a advent calendar. That helps us to count down till Sandra Claws comes.

Unclclclel Kevin got us ones with chocolate in. Bamburgh and me are sharing the Thomas the Tank Engine one. Bamburgh likes Thomas.

Moo and his brothers are sharing the Toy Story one. Moo likes Toy Story. They don't argue over who gets the chocolate. They all have a suck.
