A Seasonal Meme

We got tagged by our friend, PoopsieBlue to play this Christmas tag! We're thinking that this tag is geared more towards the hoomans so today it's your turn to blog, mom!
Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends! Okay, here's what you're supposed to do, & try not to be a SCROOGE!!! Just copy and paste into a new form.Change all the answers so that they apply only to you. Then post it!
And, do remember to tell, all you tag, that they are playing too!
Here goes...'Tis the Season to be NICE!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Both!
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial! Ours goes up too early for a live tree!
3. When do you put up the tree? We try to wait until after Halloween but sometimes we jump the gun, oops! What can we say - we love the tree and the lights!
4. Wreath on your door? Of course! The front door is a red fruit wreath and the back door will be evergreens with a red bow!
5. Do you like eggnog? Absolutely, but no alcohol, please!
6. Favourite Christmas gift received as a child? Toys!!! - anything but clothing! That was the worst!
7. Easiest person to buy for? I loved PoopsieBlue's answer - Me! LOL

28. Your very Favourite Christmas Thing? I love the white lights on the Christmas tree!
29. A Christmas wish! Happiness and health and safety for all of those we love!
30. Tag a Seasonal Six! We don't want to put any doggie or hooman on the spot because this is such a busy time of year, so it you want to play, consider yourself tagged! It's lots of fun and really puts you in a great holiday mood!

We have to tell you about a new friend we met! Her name is Alanis and she is an Airedale! Alanis is a retired show girl and has just been adopted by her new mom, Sherry! She has just arrived at her forever home and she could use a lot of support from all of us, so please stop by her blog and say hi!
Mitch also wants to share with you three more birthday cards that he received for his very special day. The first one is from Happy, the Silky Terrier! Isn't it so colorful and pretty?!
The next one is from Faya and Dyos! We just love those smiles! Dyos looks like he's thinking up some devilish plan to play on Faya!

And Mitch even got a super duper card from Asta! She's been so busy with her own mom's pawty and she stopped what she was doing to send Mitch a card! You're the sweetest, Asta!Okay, Maggie, I can speak for myself now! Thank you Happy and Faya and Dyos and Asta for my beautiful birthday cards! I love them all! My 2nd birthday was the best ever!

So until next time....................

Love ya lots,

Maggie and Mitch

    That Lacie is coming and I don't want to be alone with her. We have a whole day planned in Boston. The ladies can have a slumber party and us guys can do guy stuff in the dog cave.

    Please say yes.

  13. Awesome birthday cards! Maggie and Mitch: we can tell by her Christmas quiz that your mom really knows how to enjoy life. Of course, we already knew that by the way she spoils you two.

    Off to say 'hi' to your new friend.

  15. Maggsie & Mitch,

    We always love to hear from your sweet mama. We wish we could spend Christmas with her, your dad, and you guys! I bet we'd get some snow wrasslin' in for SURE!

    We went by to see Alanis. I'm glad she gets to live a normal dog life now. She looks like a happy girl.

    See Mitch? Didn't I tell you your birthday celebration would last at least a week? Hope you guys got plenty of turkey today.

    We love you TOO!

    Goober love & turkey breath smooches,
    Stanley

  31. We are so glad that you had a great birthday..
    You mom is so on top of the Holiday Season. We usually have a tree but mom isn't sure this year with the little one. She will probably chew up all the ornaments.. She is such a pest..
