Christmas 2000

On December 10th, Mommy introduced me to a gentleman who seemed a very decent person...

He made a very good impression on me....

 

Still I didn't want to sit on his knees...

After all we had not been in friendly terms for so long....

             And everyday Mommy would talk to me about Santa, gifts, and a mysterious letter I was supposed to write... Hey ! But I am only 15 mos old !!! Eventually, one morning we took the car and drove to Yermenonville, there was no snow and Mommy was a bit disappointed but I thought it was much better without snow because as far as snow is concerned I am an expert and I can tell you there is nothing funny in falling all the time in a kind of gray mud, although Mommy was looking forward to making a snowman snow_1.gif (5836 octets) and I admit that it did look like fun !

               Once we were there we met up with Marie and Jean-Paul, Lélie and Mike and Sophie and Nick, unfortunately Ella was not with us...

           In the evening of December 24th we put our shoes in front of the fire place (I put my slippers) and something must have happened in the night because in the morning of December 25th there were a lot of presents around the Christmas tree!!! teddyinstocking.gif (1773 octets)
           And most of the presents were for ME, Mommy told me it was Santa who had brought them. I felt a little bit sorry that I had not wanted to sit on his knees at the 'Galeries Lafayette'...

            Santa seems to be a really neat guy, not at all like this old Diedushka Maros who didn't bring me anything last year in Novosibirsk

This is Mommy and I...

I am becoming quite good at my imitation of the tiger....

Grrrrrr......

         

           For Christmas, I got loads of pretty labels and nice gift paper as well... And... A big Blue Bunny Rabbit, a 'Winnie the Pooh' tractor (my hero!), a piano that plays very nice music, a girafe, a talking telephone, lovely dresses, lots of clothes, and many many other nice things....

           When I am a very big girl I want to marry Santa, he is really a very nice guy even if.....

         ...On Christmas Day morning he realized he had forgotten to bring me a present and he came back to give it to me 'personnally' but.. I was a bit scared of this big red bearded man...

Although, I really appreciate he did it now....
