It's Christmas

Well, it's the eve of Christmas Eve.

We're really looking forward to this Christmas. This year, we'll be staying over at Stephen's with Mum. Uncle Vinnie will be there to visit us too!

We started celebrating this year's Christmas last week. Caroll brought home a Christmas tree on her way back from Canberra. We had fun watching Mum help decorate the tree with the special Georg Jensen ornaments Caroll keeps for Christmas. My favorite GJ ornament is the tree.

Wiggley on the other hand, eats the pine needles whenever we are allowed to play near the Christmas tree. We still enjoy our little game "follow the leader" under the Christmas tree. You should see the look on the kittens' faces.

I think there is something about Christmas trees. People always say Christmas trees are magical beings. I don't know about that, they sure smell good and Wiggley can't help either sniffing at our one or taking a bite out of it.

I can feel Christmas will be special again this year. Though it's a hot Summer in Sydney, I'm going to enjoy this holiday. Also, it's the kittens' first Christmas and I think this will be fun; you just wait till present opening time. I can tell you this, they would not have a clue what to do with their presents. They don't even know what's the deal with the Christmas tree! I gave up explaining.

Well, have a Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you have been good this year, I know we have been so I can't wait to see what Santa brings us for Christmas this year (I hope it's better than the one cherry Stephen and Mum gave us each last year, alright two cherries each). I just hope Santa finds us in Potts Point. I wonder how he is going to come down the roof of a 6 level building to where we are on the 3rd level. We are going to leave the key out for him.

Travel safe you people.

Our sixteenth poll results

We've been a bit slack lately, well, for the last few weeks that is. Mum was away, we were boarding at Uncle Vinnie's and did we ever have fun. Uncle Vinnie talked to us every day and the most asked question was: Why do you boys poo so much?! It was all good.

Can you believe Mum still finds left-overs from the dust storm the other day? At this rate, she's going to go mad, well, it probably won't matter, she's mad anyway.

Back and gone

It must be the this time of the year. One week after Mum and Stephen arrived back in Sydney, Stephen is now away in Malaysia for work.

I kind of miss him, he gives me a lot of food, much more than Mum normally does. Mum said he'll be back in two week's time. Two weeks is a long time.

Dear Boys,

Hope you two are well and behaving yourselves at Uncle Vinnie's.

I visited a Farm in Kaikoura and the grass there is so green — you two would love this place. I wish I could take you along on this trip, you could meet the guinea pigs on the farm!

Don't give Uncle Vinnie too much trouble. Be good. See you soon! Luv Mum (and Stephen)

At Uncle Vinnie's

We got to Uncle Vinnie's last night, Mum and Stephen took us here.

Uncle Vinnie said he's never seen so much luggage — he meant our luggage.

We brought with us for our stay:

• hay
• pellets
• fresh greens packed in bags for vegetables, enough for 5 days
  
• pellet bowl
• water bowl
• hay balls for the hay and greens
  
• C&C cage
• puppy pads (we shouldn't need this but Mum said in case Uncle Vinnie prefers us in the lounge, the puppy pads will prevent 'accidents' — Ginger said it's more for me than him as he uses the litter tray)
  
• towels
• litter tray
• kitty litter
• hideys
  
• instruction manual and a book about guinea pigs
• a camera
  

All that, packed in 4 bags.

Uncle Vinnie set us up in the lounge, near the window. Part of our C&C is hidden beside the couch and part of it extends out to the kitchen door. We have lots of room to run about and things to play with. We love it!

I forgot to bring Mum's camera she left with us for our stay — pity we can't show you a photo.
