It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas.

Santa's grotto is in my house!

The decorations came out last week so it's like living beside Blackpool Illuminations for me. There's an alternative Christmas tree placed quite near my cage. No greenery, just big logs stacked up into a triangle shape and festooned with bells and lights.

Yesterday, I was allowed to explore some of the Christmas decorations that my little humans have made in their After School Club. One has made a big house out of cardboard that claims to be ""Santa's Grotto".

I quickly side stepped the fella in red at his front door and went exploring... It was great. I loved climbing in and out of the windows and managed to gnaw a few corners too...my humans didn't notice!

While I was there, I did mention to Santa a few of the things on my wish list. Paws crossed that he'll fit them in his sack.

I certainly don't want any more of those red berry things that my humans gave me as a 'treat' yesterday. No, I don't mean cranberries...they're OK. They gave me something they called 'redcurrants'. I think they got the message that I wasn't keen after I'd tipped them onto the floor of my cage a few times.
