Ho Ho Ho… Guys,
Christmas is almost here…! And Hanukha is here! Gosh, Guys, the holidays are going by real fast.
Moms and I have been having a peaceful Advent season. How ’bout you? We’ve been welcoming all the family here at the Homestead for Christmas tea, hot chocolate, and cookies. Moms put poinsettas all around the house. I look pretty good in the poinsetta picture, don’t I? Moms also got evergreen and mistletoe out. You all know I love pine needles. So, I started eating the Christmas wreath, and my Moms got mad at me.
“Alfred! Alfred! Come here and look at what you did to my wreath! How am I going to hang this torn up wreath on the front door?! The neighbors and family will laugh at us!” Moms cried nervously, looking distraughtly at the mess I created.
And then it happened, Guys: I started heaving. “Oh no! Alfred, you threw up all the pine needles right on the antique Persian rug…! What am I going to do with you?!”
You know Moms. Always stressing out over nothin’.
Now that older lady cousins come to see Moms during Advent I come out and ham it up for them. Usually, I hide from people in my pantry. But, for the older lady cousins – I make an exception! I come out and run up and down the hallway, boucing all around. I roll on my back and flirt with the ladies.
“Oh my… Your King Alfred is something else,” Cousin Hattie explained. “No wonder you enjoy him so much,” my cousin told my Moms. I was so proud. And my Moms was proud of me.
“Alfred, you have become such a flirt! I’ve never seen you like this before,” my Moms told me.
I stayed around the ladies as they sipped their hot chocolate and ate their Swedish gingerbread. But, when the ladies asked Moms what a Brazilain bikini wax was and how does a lady know when she needs one I took that as my cue to leave the ladies alone, and I headed back to the pantry.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukha!
KING ALFRED
