Tony and I would love to get an aquarium together one day, too, but so far we've either been moving too often, lived in places that didn't allow pets (thankfully no longer the case), didn't have space for a good sized one, or had other pets that weren't the best fit in said small space for one. I'm sure we'll get a tank at some point and I really look forward to it. I used to find coming home and watching my fish to be one of the most relaxing activities. <br /><br />How sweet that you have a tortoise! They're such cool animals. I've never had a turtle or tortoise myself, but I definitely wouldn't be opposed to it in the slightest. I agree that both of those are admittedly harder pets to shop for. <br /><br />It's awesome that you give your parents' dog an Advent calendar. That's really cute! :) The Advent tradition really needs to catch on more here. We have the chocolate/candy versions, but the larger act of small gifts throughout the month is not common in most families in Canada, as it is for many in Europe. I love the idea and would especially want to do it if I had children or nieces and nephews (nearby) of my own. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your wonderfully nice comment, dear Sanne. How fun that you got three days in Germany. I hope you had a fantastic time there.<br /><br />Big hugs & the very merriest of holiday season wishes!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-91119602748123800992015-12-10T10:00:46.510-08:002015-12-10T10:00:46.510-08:00Here I am, a bit behind.

It could be so much fun to watch my guests when they noticed it. :) And I would love to knit a dog as lovely as in the photo. And the DJ cat! I need a cat too. I didn't know that many strange animal related products existed, we don't have much of such things in Denmark. I only have a goldfish and an old tortoise and neither of them gets presents. Toby, the tortoise, is in his winter sleep and I am sure the fish doesn't care. But as a child we gave our cats and dogs presents, and they all knew there was something for them waiting under the tree. And son and I gave my parents' dog an Advent calendar like the chocolate ones with a small treat every day, boy he loved it. And when he had the last treat on the 24 December, my parents had to give him the empty calendar so he could make sure it really was empty, then he knew it was over. I still think of him every year, strange that I don't have to buy the dog calendar anymore. Have a lovely day, dear. I'll be catching up soon, have spent three lovely days in Germany with DH.

That isn't possible, so I'll just have to try and devote my time especially wisely in the next four weeks. First up, recoup from traveling, then Christmas cards and decorations, baking, scores of family get-togethers, gift shopping and wrapping, community events, and lots of other joys of the season. <br /><br />How wonderful that the horse book would suit your cousin well. I'd be elated it to add it to my bookshelf one day, too. If you get it for Julia, I hope that she adores this elegant title. <br /><br />Big hugs & joyful holiday season wishes!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-951497517410533742015-12-03T23:21:41.308-08:002015-12-03T23:21:41.308-08:00Awesome to hear!
