Is it Christmas yet?

"Granny it is Purple time of the Year...
does that mean it is Christmas tomorrow?"
"No Wilbur, it is not Christmas tomorrow, in fact it is more than your paws, eyes, ears and nose all counted up together."
"When the purple flowers come out it seems as though it should be Christmas Granny."
"Wilbur it is 38 sleeps until Christmas so don't get excited yet."
"Why did you make the pudding this week Granny? It smells like Christmas with the pudding smell.
Any way Granny, how do I tell my tummy and my brain not to get excited."
"Keep calm thoughts, and keep busy Wilbur."
"The Christmas pageant was last week and Father Christmas is in the shop, so he must be coming soon."
"I don't believe you Granny... all the pretty floats look like Christmas to me."
"Wilbur, see this Candy Cane float; well we have not made our Gingerbread men or our Ginger Bread house, or our Short breads yet. So we have lots of work to do." 
"Granny, my brain won't be calm.... can we put the Christmas tree up right now."
"No Wilbur, may be next weekend."
"Granny my legs won't stop jumping."

"OK. Wilbur I need you to help me beat this butter to make shortbread's, it might keep you busy."
Now I am thinking about when they can come out of the oven to taste.

We cooked, and now I am tired. and having a supper of toast, peanut butter and honey, with shortbread's for dessert.

See you all next week.

This is for all my lovely followers.
This is a picture out of my window, If I stand on books, I can see how pretty it is.

My thought for the week.

Not me, I'm afraid of widths."

  4. Hi Wilbur,

    Yeah, it seems like Christmas will never come, sigh....

    The parade looks like so much fun, bet you had a ball, and those purple flowers are bee-u-tee-ful, purple is Mom's favorite color, mine too.

    The view out of your room is bee-u-tee-ful, no wonder you always have wonderful dreams.

    Heaps of Hugs (to Granny too ♥)

  6. WOW Kay, wat een rijkdom om vanuit je huis zo'n FANTASTISCH uitzicht te kunnen hebben, die kleur.....
    ongelooflijk mooi!!! Wat is dat precies voor een boom die zo prachtig bloeit???

    En nee hoor Wilbur, het is nog lang geen Kerstmis, al zpu je het met al die paarse sneeuwvlokjes wel een beetje denken natuurlijk, hahaha.

    MOOI de parade, dat is genieten om allemaal te bekijken, heerlijk al die snoepjes waar je jammer genoeg niets van mocht pakken natuurlijk.

    Geniet van een fijne week,

    Veel liefs,
    Josephine

    bis Weihnachten müssen wir alle noch ein wenig warten. Aber die Parade macht ja schon sehr viel Lust auf den Weihnachtsmann.

  10. A lovely tree to look at outside the window! The parade looks like a lot of fun too :-)! Here in Belgium Saint-Nicolas has arrived to bring presents to the children, he's a bit like Santa-Claus :-).

  13. Jacarandas are one of our favourite trees, especially in flower, and we can't wait to taste some of your Christmas cooking. You are an inspiration, Granny, both in the kitchen and on the camera!
    Hugs from Kayzys and her Critters xoxo :)
