Hi Folks
I got this message from my Auntie in Spain
recently; so thought I would pass it on to all you other dogs in case of any
confusion this week !
"Be especially patient with your humans
during this time. they may appear to be more stressed-out than usual and
they will appreciate long comforting dog leans.
They may come home with large bags of things they call gifts. Do not assume
that all the gifts are yours.
Be tolerant if your humans put decorations on you. They seem to get some
special kind of pleasure out of seeing how you look with fake antlers.
They may bring a large tree into the house and set it up in a prominent
place and cover it with lights and decorations. Bizarre as this may seem to
you, it is an important ritual for your humans, so there are some things you
need to know: Donīt pee on the tree - Donīt drink water in the container
that holds the tree - Mind your tail when you are near the tree - If
there are packages under the tree, even ones that smell interesting or that
have your name on them, donīt rip them open - Donīt chew on the cord that
runs from the funny-looking hole in the wall to the tree.
Your humans may occasionally invite lots of strangers to come visit during
this season.
These parties can be lots of fun, but they also call for some
discretion on your part - Not all strangers appreciate kisses and leans. Donīt eat off the buffet table Beg for goodies subtly - Be pleasant, even
if unknowing strangers sit on your sofa. Donīt drink out of glasses that
are left within your reach.
Likewise, your humans may take you visiting. Here your manners will also be
important: - Observe all the rules in above for trees that may be in other
peopleīs houses. Respect the territory of other animals that may live in
the house - Tolerate children - Turn on your charm big time.

A big man with a white beard and a very loud laugh may emerge from your
fireplace in the middle of the night. DONīT BITE HIM ! "
