A magnificently detailed dalek made of snow, complete with sink plunger.

My niece in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen, has made a snow dalek that's featured in the Aberdeen Press and Journal. #proudaunt

Day twenty four of Hatvent

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Paws is coming to town

A chocolate Labrador poses next to some gymnastics equipment which she has ASSUMED must be for her Christmas present. She has begun stretching and lying on her back in preparation for the great Christmas Day performance.

Lottie’s excited for her Christmas present

Some words to play with over Christmas!

A little selection of my favourite words for the season. Some beautiful, others potentially necessary. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Day twenty two of Hatvent

The little collie had a lovely hat
The little collie had a lovely hat
The little collie had a lovely hat
And they say he’d wear it at Hatvent

Day twenty three of Hatvent

I don't want a lot for Hatvent
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the squeaky underneath the Christmas tree
I just want treats of my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Hatvent is chews.

Day twenty of Hatvent

When Hatvent brings a hat
And Bleddyn says ‘oh drat’
He puts a great big smile upon somebody's face
If he jumps out of his bed
Mum covers up his head
He tries to lock the doors, but he knows that mum and hats are on the way

Day twenty one of Hatvent

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But Hatvent is so delightful
And since we've got hats galore
Let’s wear more, let’s wear more, let’s wear more

Day nineteen of Hatvent

We wish you a merry Hatvent
We wish you a merry Hatvent
We wish you a merry Hatvent
It’s a great time of year

Day eighteen of Hatvent

Last Hatvent mum bought me a hat
But the very next day she wore it herself
This year I got the hat back
And I think I look quite special

Well way down South where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Hatvent
That you've all been told
And a real patient dog dressed up in a hat
Who spends the whole year hoping it gets squashed flat

… It's the little Saint Bledd (little Saint Bledd)

Day sixteen of Hatvent

Whilst Bleddyn counted sheep one night
All snuggly in his bed
His mummy thought it’s time to pop
A hat upon his head

Day fifteen of Hatvent

Little doggy
Little doggy
Wearing a cloche hat
Got to keep on wearing hats for
Hatvent and all that

Day twelve of Hatvent

The collie is in Hatvent
And he lets out a groan
Of all the dogs who are wearing hats
This collie wears a crown

Day thirteen of Hatvent

Rockin’ around the Hatvent tree
There’s a collie in a hat
Glasses upon his fluffy nose
How ridiculous is that?

Day eleven of Hatvent

See the dog in a hat so jolly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
See the angry, fed up collie
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Jingle Bells, Mummy smells,
That’s what someone said (not me!)
Oh what fun it is to sit
With a hat upon my head

Day eight of Hatvent

I’m putting on my top hat
Fluffing up my white floof
Sitting on my tail.

Day six of Hatvent

Step into Hatvent, let’s join together
I can wear some daft hats forever and ever
Eat treatos, be merry, wear a hat with me
Step into Hatvent, the admission’s free.

Day seven of Hatvent

I’m dreaming of a white Hatvent
With lots of hats for me to wear
Where the treetops glisten, and mummy listens
To me, making myself scarce.

Day three of Hatvent

You better watch out, you better not cry
Bleddyn’s about, he’ll make you all smile
Santa Paws is coming to town….

Joy to the world, Hatvent is come
Let’s wear a hat each day
Let lovely hats, be worn this year
