This is our Christmas

Being non-Christian and having no family in the country, our Christmas is usually very quiet. We sometimes have Christmas parties with our friends but not always.

This year our Christmas season started like this.

My husband decorated the kitchen window with colourful Christmas decoration that my friend from Japan had given us when she visited us on her trip to New Zealand.



I made a Christmas robe for Cinnamon, using a red felt gift bag and a hair band with an angel's ring that I had got from a $2 shop, and some white fake fur I had bought from a craft shop.

  2. Yuh, we do not have the religion, but we do enjoy all the festive lights and whatnot (OK, not the outfits). But we like looking at outfits on other doggies who are not us.

  4. Cinnamon is so pretty in the robe! We are spiritual here not religious. A Christmas tree is a festival of lights for us. And we want the presents that appear there too! Have a happy holiday!

  6. Cinnamon looks very official in her robe, like she is in charge of the Naughty and Nice list! In which case Dennis might want to speak with her ...

  8. Cinnamon looks like "Super-Beagle" with the Christmas cape. It's lovely that you've gotten into the spirit of Christmas. It's tough being in a foreign country without family. We lived in Bangkok for 1.5 years and know what it's like. Fortunately for us, we're only a 2-hr flight from home so we always went home for special festivals! Have a blessed Christmas. May you discover the true meaning of Christmas.

  9. Hee - Hee! I love your Christmas cape, Cinnamon - although I have to agree that it makes you look a bit like a Super-Beagle! HA! HA! Maybe if we were still in NZ, your human might have made one for me too...but I think they would have needed to find a queen-sized bed sheet or a roll of carpet - and not a little gift bag like you!! :-)
