Okay… the shopping centre was different today. First of all there were all these shiny, pretty things everywhere. I loved them! Sparkly and beautiful! I kept straining my neck to see all the lovely baubles. It made me so happy. While at the shops, Mummy bought some things from the toy section and hid them away in a bag, quick smart, and wouldn’t let me see them. I heard the word ‘presents’. Hmmmm presents… strange… but the strangest thing was yet to happen. I met a big, round man, in a big, red suit! We waved at the man, but then Mummy put me on his lap. I thought that was okay at first, but then he tried to tickle me… and I realised Mummy was a bit far away… and I cried

Before tickle... and after tickle

You might not see a big difference, but I think you can see the worry in Santa’s eyes. Memme and Dallie, Mummy assures me that there will be a copy, of the ‘good’ photo, coming your way soon. In fact, Mummy bought something else special today, one for us and one for each set of grandparents. I don’t quite get it, but I think you will. A special trinket for the Christmas tree.

My first Christmas decoration

Mummy said it was hard to find the right one, but this was very sweet. I tell you what else was sweet, my new apron. It’s good enough to eat!

Yummmm!
