An Award and a Holiday Meme!

Since it is the season of sharing, I'm going to share today's post with my Mom. I'm going to post about this FABULOUS award I found on Winston and Clementine's bloggy and my Mom is going to do one of those silly memes.

First up, me...

And here are the rules:

1. Publish a post on your blog - referring who awarded you.

--- In the spirit of the holiday again, Winston and Clemmie are sharing the award with everypup!!!

2. Share 5 things you like to do .

--- I like to chew on bully sticks

--- I like to run...really, really, really fast

--- I like to eat tissues

--- I like to sleep...particularly on sundays

--- I like to snuggle with my Mom

3. Share or pass this award to 10 friends.

Well, since it is Christmas, just like Winston and Clemmie, I'm going to share with everypup - W00t!!!

I'm going to now turn this over to my Mom for that silly meme of hers...

Ruby's Mom: Ruby stop that...it's not silly.

Ruby: Oh yes it is!!!

Ruby's Mom: Remember Ruby, in 8 day's Santa will be here and he only visits good doggies...and I haven't told him about the pen...yet!

Ruby: Mom, please, don't tell Santa about the pen.

Ruby's Mom: Well then be nice...the meme isn't silly and maybe some of your friends Mom's might want to take it.

Ruby: OK, ahem...Here's my Mom doing a (silly) holiday meme...take it away Mom

Hello everyone!!! Michele here. Hope all is well...I haven't done a meme in a long time...it definitely brought back some memories. If you have the time and your pups let you blog about it, would love for you to share your answers!!!!

1. Eggnog or hot chocolate? Peppermint Hot Chocolate!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Wrapped

3. Colored lights on the tree/house or white? Tiny white lights on tree...none on house

4. Do you hang mistletoe? No

5. When do you put your Christmas decorations up? They are still not up ;)

6. Favorite holiday dish? Mom's turkey stuffing...only have around Thanksgiving/Christmas. My mint brownies which I ONLY make for Christmas.

8. When did you learn the truth about Santa? There’s no Santa? Really???

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? As kids, we could always open one gift on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas day. I still do that.

10. How do you decorate a tree? With lots of different types of ornaments. No two the same. When I travel or friends travel, I ask them to bring me something back so I have LOTS of very fun and unique ornaments.

17. What tops your tree? When the tree is up either a Tweety Bird angel OR a Tazmanian Devil angel...I alternate ;)

18. Which do you prefer-Giving or Receiving? Giving...and as long as they come out nice, I like to make something...seems more personal.

19. Favorite Christmas song? Carol of the Bells, but the instrumental, not with vocals.

20. Candy Canes-Yuck or Yum? YUM!!!

21. Favorite Christmas show? Charlie Brown Christmas...I can so relate to Charlie Brown!

22. Saddest Christmas song? I wouldn't say it was the saddest, but Silent Night always makes me cry for some reason

Now back to Ruby...

Thanks Mom...how very enlightening ;)

I wanted to take a quick moment today and send my love and licks (Mom's too) over to Sophie and her Mom. Her adorable flat brother Graham crossed the bridge yesterday. He was only with them a short time, but that short time was filled with tons love and many adventures! No more wobbling Graham...run free my flat friend, run free!!!
