Dog with two ball ponds sums up the excitement of Christmas

Dog with two ball ponds sums up the excitement of Christmas | Dog with two ball ponds sums up the excitement of Christmas Did Father Christmas leave you anything special this year? No matter how excited you were about it, you will never experience sheer delight like this dog with two ball ponds. The French Bulldog Eva just can’t decide which pond she likes better, and keeps scurrying between the two, sending balls flying in every direction. Animal sanctuary Dogs Park uploaded the footage of Eva, and if their other videos are anything to go by, she’s a bit of rascal every other day as well. After nearly a minute of running back and forth between the two ponds she works up quite a sweat and urgently needs to take a water break. We can only assume she got right back to her beloved ball ponds right after getting rehydrated.

My Sister-In-Law’s Lonely Christmas Cards What happens at Christmas when parents treat their unmarried child like a second-class citizen. All of my wife’s four siblings are married except one. Bridget, the unmarried one, got cut out of her mom and dad’s Christmas card picture five years ago. Her parents found it awkward to have just one remaining child in her mid-20s still in the picture, so they kicked her out. Bewildered, lonely, and unsure what to do with herself in this big world, she began sending out her own Christmas cards. 2010: A Lonely Christmas Eve The family received this one day, unexpectedly, and we were all caught a bit off guard. 2011: Friends Over for Tea In 2011, still single and still barred from her parents’ card, she invited some guests over for tea, alcohol, and crumpets . 2012: Christmas Camaraderie I’m not sure if the cards are getting better or creepier. For the rest of   the family, a single Bridget is enough. ...

Kids’ Letters To Santa That Did Not Screw Around

The kid who would be cool with just money The kid who wants $5.3billion. the kid who has had enough The kid who demands detailed feedback. The kid who can’t be bothered with chit-chat. The kid who has no time for small talk.  The kid who just wants to get down to business.  The kid who is body-shaming Santa. The kid who knows when to be formal. The kid who has very clear instructions on time-keeping. The kid who needs to see the whites of their eyes. The kid who isn’t sugar-coating things. The kid who can’t hide their jealousy. The kid who will grow up to be a Hollywood producer.

The 9 stages of Christmas Fomo – fear of missing out

Image
As shocking as it may seem, not everyone in the UK celebrates Christmas. I don’t – well, not in the traditional way, with trees and presents and turkey, as I’m Jewish, so we have Chanukah instead. While the donuts and candles that Chanukah brings are all very nice, it’s hard to ignore the overwhelming stages of Christmas Fomo that engulf me every year. 1. The childhood sense of wonder When you were little, you were learning all about the Maccabees, and the oils that lasted eight days, and how to sing Chanukah songs. Isn’t it sad that even as a little six-year-old, you ‘knew’ Santa didn’t exist? 2. Christmas parties These take place in November, and while you can still turn up, have a drink and say inappropriate things to colleagues, you feel like a fraud trading secret Santa gifts and revealing your favourite Christmas song, when you don’t even celebrate the damn holiday. 3. The questions What do you say when someone asks what you’re doing over the break? Genuine panic ...
