                      A Bit Of Ho Ho To Wish A Merry Christmas 

  Happy Christmas!

Firstly l have to say Thankyou..Grazie..Tack..Gracias..Obrigado..

Merci..Danke..To Jean, for asking me to do a guest post on her

Blog!

When she asked me a couple weeks ago, l thought ‘goodness’.

Never done this before, l’m very much a verbal person, not a

writing one.

So! What to write about...I have a trilogy in my life....’Love Food,

Love Cats, Love Pink’. And of course ‘MY’ music....Goes with out

saying.

In the end...I thought l might just ramble on about Christmas.

After all, it started way back on October 1st. And, will soon be

upon us....”Silent Night..Holy Night....”. “No! Not now Willie”...

“Later”...

My memory takes me back to the age of five...We lived in a two

up, two down home..with an outside toilet..HeHe! God! The paper

work!

At that time there were quite a few Italians living here, in our

town, and, we were friends with one family in particular.

In fact, the lady/Mum of that family is still with us to~day, aged

96, and, l still pop round to see her and have coffee. Lovely lady.

So, it was traditional that we all went to midnight mass, on Christmas

Eve. Then early hours we would go home, a Dad would dress up

as Father Christmas, and, give out the prezzies.

I used to think back then, how silly Father Christmas was..With ALL

the windows and doors...Why does he come down the chimney???

I used to get a Christmas stocking to...Every year...Colouring books,

toys, and an orange! As l got older, l used to think, ‘when am l gonna get a stocking, with a leg in it’. :). But, that’s another story!

So, then l moved on, for the next 10~12yrs l was in the

entertainment, business so Christmas then was spent somewhere

on stage...’Do’in ma thang’. So, the festive season, was quite

lengthy then. I worked for the Americans back then, and they

sure know how to party! Oh! Yes!  

In 1976 my daughter was born...Christmas was great. I just went

back to my childhood, and, played with her presents. Well! All except

the dolls! “Com’on Willie..You never stopped playing with Girls World”

“Well, just that one then”. :>).

And, just like any family, it’s great watching kids grow up, and enjoying

themselves, especially at Christmas.

From 1980, it was just the two of us, we spent Christmas with various

families and friends, and, of course new year!

Eat! Drink! And be Mary! HeHe!

 So my daughter is settled now, no children, but they have two

doggies, and three cats. I really look forward in going up there.

l go on the coach...Wells Fargo...! New places to pose about, and

new people to be rude to! Great Fun!

My visits to Cheshire Oaks, and Ikea in Nottingham, l really look

forward to....I~LOVE~TO~SHOP.

And, l get to sleep with Zeeva...She is lovely...In the wee hours of

the morn’in l usually wake up and there she is under the duvet,

licking my ankles...Kinky!

Oh! Sorry! Forgot to say...Zeeva is one of my daughters Staffy’s.

And, pussy~cat Az...Loves to settle on my chest, inches from my

face...And dribble! HeHe! Love Pussy~Cats! 

As you can tell, it’s ALL rather nice really, with cats and dogs, all

over the bed....Rather like the old days!  “Willie”.

Finally.......Did l hear someone say..’Thank God for that’.... I hope you ALL have a great time this Christmas with family and friends... And, enjoy the high~light of Christmas...The Christmas cracker jokes...You know the ones.... “Who hides in a bakery at Christmas”? “A mince spy” What is Santa’s favourite Pizza”? “Deep~pan crisp and even” “What do Elves learn at school”? “The Elf~abet”. So...Finally.... May you all have love to share...wealth to spare...and, friends that care. And remember.... “It’s nice to be important...But it’s important to be nice”.                                                      Tanti Cari e affettuosi di Buon Natale,                                   e Felice Ann Nuovo....                                                  Willie....!    =(^..^)=                                          http://williewine.blogspot.co.uk
