Merry Christmas maties

G'day blogging maties,
We must apologise for being a somewhat absent lately. We're slowly making our way around to all your blogs but D keeps making excuses saying she's busy.......hello, we've a blog to maintain and friends to visit......crikey. I think the festive season should be called the hectic season.
We've noticed that some of you are getting snow and that you might even have a white Christmas. Sigh.... we wish we could have a white Christmas. It's been hot here this week and we've been doing lots of snoozing.

This is our Christmas card for 2009. B thinks he out did himself this year but D still thinks our nativity scene of 2007 was best. I like this card, it's traditionally festive.

We hope your Christmas is stress free, relaxing and fun with lots of yummy food & drinkypoos.

We leave you with a song we wrote last year. It's to the tune of "Winter Wonderland"

Christmas time in Australia
Can get hot let me tell ya
It's Summer time here
Fill our dog bowls with beer
Living in an Aussie wonderland

All our friends get the white stuff
But down here Summers real tough
The footpath gets warm
Cool it down with a storm
Living in an Aussie wonderland

On Christmas day we sit around the barbie
We're panting cause it is so stinking hot
Then they say 'its time to go a walkies'
Thanks all the same but we would rather not

After lunch we go a snoozing
And the peeps, they keep on boozing
We wish you the best
For next year and the rest
To all our maties in their wonderland

Stay safe and we'll catch you in the new year.

Chrissy Cheers!
Noah Willow Tess Lucy

You're making us all jealous with your talk about sunshine. Great group photo - do the team always sit so still?

Terra said...

Great Christmas card!!! Merry Christmas to you all!

Unknown said...

First off, B did indeed outdo himself with that gorgeous Christmas photo of the four of you!

Second, we're still singing along with your marvelous song. Mom immediately forwarded it to an Aussie friend with four dogs who we'll be seeing on Christmas Day. We KNOW she's going to love it!

Merry Christmas sweet Leuradales! We'll send a gust of arctic air your way - by the time it reaches you on Christmas day it will just be a whiff of a refreshing breeze...

Your pal,

Petey

If we were smart enough to stay at home for Christmas -- rather than traveling to Northland -- we too would be sitting around the barbie instead of blowing on our paws to keep them warm!!

We loved your card and appreciate the challenge of creating it.

Wirey love,

Jake and Just Harry

Merry Christmas to you also! The card is really beautiful.

Dexter said...

Great holiday song. Sorry you live in the upside down part of the world where it is totally summertime. Maybe you guys should do Christmas in August.

Master kept staring at your card sayin stuff like, "Four Airedales??? Are they insane?" But momma thinks four dales looks just about right (especially with one so handsome as yourself).

Slobbers,
Mango

We love your card and you sufficiently made Moma sorry she didn't create one this year! But the best part? Moma serenaded the family with your song! We could hear here all the way up here (where the ground IS white with snow. It's not where Moma is. Too bad for her! Ha!)

Merry Christmas, Noah and family.
Moma still hopes to get to your blog. Maybe next week?

Love ya
Jake and Fergi xxoo

Chef said...

Cute song, Noah. I'd gladly trade you some snow for a few stinking hot days around the barbie with beer in my bowl.

And I love the card. Way to go PapaLeuradale. How'd you make them look so quiet and angelic? Quite an achievement.

Hope you had a fantastic Christmas!

Hi, Noah, Willow, Tess and Lucy -

It looks like you all had a Happy Christmas - we say Merry Christmas. Kaci and I (Hershey) got to spend some time together for Christmas weekend after visiting Mama's father and family.

We hope you all had a Happy New Year.

Love -

Hershey and Kaci
