I can hardly believe it happened. Let me set the stage for you. For the last day or three I have been getting Christmas cards in the mail and also via email. It has been ever so cool.
I received this envelope from Great Britian.
It was a great card from my friend Stormy. That's when I realized that MOM had not put up the other cards I have received So I asked her what the deal was. She said that she was not sure where she was going to put all the cards that were coming in for me. So I suggested that we use one of those card holding hanging thingys. Just get it out of the boxes that hold all our Christmas decorations. That's when MOM gave me the raised eyebrow look. You see friends we do not have any boxes that hold Christmas decorations. Why you ask. Well, that I do not know. What I do know is for longer than I have been around we have never put up a tree or lights or decorations. Yes we put Christmas cards on the entertainment center.
But now that like 8700 Christmas cards are starting to come in for me we needed to do something. MOM could not argue with logic like that. And here is where the miracle comes in. We headed off to buy a card holder thingy to hang on the wall. My MOM actually went up and down the Christmas isles searching for the card thingy. She even went down them more than once, more than four times. But she could not find one. So you know what she did? She bought Christmas stuff and (hold on to your furs) she made her own Christmas Card hanging holder thingy!!!! "Only for you Goosie" she said. And now I present our Christmas decoration.....
I think it is Great!!!
The only down side is while she was walking up and down those Christmas isles she saw these antlers that have lights in them and they blink. But hey that's OK cuz now I get to hang my cards and look at them and we have a Christmas decoration. Yes friends it is a Christmas miracle.
Who knows, maybe next we will get a tree like my friend Jenni's tree behind me.
Blessings,
Goose
You are obviously in the Christmas spirit. We always have to remind moms to do everything
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
I love your card hanging thingy..... very creative by your mom Goose. You will need something for the 8700 cards you'll get!
ReplyDeleteYou don't look too thrilled about those antlers my friend. Why do the peeps do this to us??

Dude, you gotta get a tree. and, oh, you gotta wear those antlers on our next big walk. Maybe this Saturday. YOu would be like the coolest dog there.
ReplyDelete(he he, I am so lauging right now)
Bert
Goose, those antlers would look good on Bert so you should bring them so Bert can wear them and we'll all take pictures of him looking goofy - BOL! You are such a good sport to wear them for your mom. She made a very nice card holder too! We have gotten 5 cards in the mail and our pawrents have gotten ZERO! Since we have a Christmas tree and I see how pretty the lights are, we're thinking your mom needs to get you a little one. If she doesn't want one that is okay, it is her choice, but to deny you??

I think your card holder is beautiful! The very first post of yours that we read was the one where your mom put those jingle bells on you and we loved you right from the start. I hope you do get a tree!
ReplyDeleteBunny
How inventive of your Mom! It looks great. We are, uh, surprised by the other purchase, but you are rockin the antler look, Goose. Happy Tuesday, furriends. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card holder thingy your mom made. I hope it's big enough to hold all the 87 cards you are bound to get this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMillie
Oh Goosie! Of course it had to be 8700 cards! I've noticed that you have something about the number 87! I love your mom's card holder, and I love your antlers. Happy Holidays, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour mom did a great job, Goose! That Christmas card holder thingy is beautiful! It really compliments your fancy reindeer antlers too :)
ReplyDeleteWe received our first card today and have ours all ready to mail out. Let the fun begin!
ReplyDeleteYour MOM's creative approach to making you happy is worth having to wear blinking antlers! Here is the best part, FRIENDS are part of the celebration of the miracle of Christmas so MOM is truly spreading the joy of the season.
ReplyDeleteWow Goose, your Christmas holiday card holder is absolutely beautiful!! Good job Mom for the Martha Stewart like DIY!! :-D Domeek had to make one for me too...where did those things go?? Hehehe, I actually like your antlers better than mine, you look very handsome!! Maybe a tree is in your future, who knows?! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky that MOM is so creative. Your card holder looks very festive. I absolutely love the antlers on you.
ReplyDeleteKelsey
Woof! Woof! Beautiful to receive Holiday bloggie cards. LOVE your card holder and of course your photos. Golden LOVE. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteOh Goose! We had tears in our eyes reading this!!! How special is it that your MOM made you your very own decoration wall thingy to hold all of your special cards!! Our mama actually just staples them onto ribbon...we had that same problem last year...when we got eighty seven million of them!! Your MOM is very creative and she did such a good job!! Love your antlers Goose!! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
ReplyDeleteYour mom is very talented Goose, I think you are going to need more of those Christmas hangers though :) xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie

Muffin and I think that you look adorable in those antlers Goose! You're getting me into the holiday spirit BIG time.
ReplyDeleteWe think your Mom is very clever. That card holder is beautiful and it comes from the heart. Things that come from the heart are the most important things in life.

Hugs your BFFF
Madi
Goose, you look very handsome. We saw a dog that looked just like you yesterday. He was laying across the dash of his motor home. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Maybe Santa needs a Goose to pull the sleigh! You've been close to flying and all for ages now. Right? I love those decorations because they're capturing love from others and that's really special. You and your MOM are well loved, Goose! Smiles are all around down here!
ReplyDeleteThat looks grreat! I've already gotten three cards, and I told Momma I need my own card holder this year. She said "we'll see".
ReplyDeleteSee Goose blogging brings miracles doesn't it!! Even in tiny ways.
ReplyDeletestella rose
Oh Goose, your mom is so creative, we might have to borrow her idea cuz we're getting lots of cards too. We pick up our cards today!!! We love your antlers, but feel your pain too, we don't like wearing that stuff. You do, however ROCK those antlers!!
ReplyDeleteGracie and Schatzie
Thats good Goose, Hey Shadow got some antlers also, maybe you two could help pull Santa's Wagon this year, Heeheehee. Yeap, those cards are coming in right and left and on the puter.

We always wonder about the best way to display our cards too. Mom has her thinking cap on to come up with something different this year
ReplyDeleteHi friend~What a popular guy you are. I'm so glad your mom was able to find a Christmas Card holder and now your home is starting to look like Christmas! I'm going to order our cards today and will get them out as soon as they arrive.
ReplyDeleteWags, Noreen & Hunter
Very Crafty!!! We would love to send a card to you Goose to hang on your card hanger thingy (whenever Mom gets them finished). If you like you can email your address to us pugranch2 at msn dot com.

Bailey, Hazel & Greta
That is SO COOL! I love that you have your cards out where you can enjoy them! Your MOM really went over the top for you, buddy!
ReplyDeleteLighted antlers. Well, you totally rock them but better you than me. (Having said that, I'm sure my own mom has some sort of Christmas "fun" in store for me and Dave...)
Play bows,
Zim
Now THAT is LOVE :)
ReplyDeleteStewey
Your Moms is the coolest Goose! I thinks you look GREAT in those antlers! I do think your gonna need another 'card hanger' though, I thinks your gonna fill that one up really fast!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby
Oh Gooseberry! I am just so excited for you! Your Momma did a fantastic job on that Christmas card holder thingy. It is beautiful and so are you with those antlers on your head!
ReplyDeleteI love your card hanger. And love you those antlers even more!
ReplyDeleteWoweee..that is a lots of cards.
ReplyDeleteYou do suit being a reindeer you know?
Slobbers
That card holder looks pawsome! I'm hoping that my mom person can't find the antlers she got me last year.
ReplyDeleteNubbin wiggles,

Love knowing all dog lovers are connecting like this.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are going to have to make another card holder I bet you run out of room. You look adorable with all your Christmas decorations. :)
ReplyDeleteGoose, you did great getting Mom to get those decorations for your cards. Now keep working her and that tree will be next on her list. Mom says we keep getting more and more cards every day and they are all for us - she still hasn't gotten one from humans to humans yet. Of course, it might help if she got her own written and mailed.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Goose, those antlers were made for you! I have never seen a dog look better in antlers than you!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Christmas card holder.
Perfect antlers! My dogs will not thank you for letting me know that they exist.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is pretty smart. The card holder is perfect. And those antlers, your adorable, uh we mean handsome wearing those. Oh we can't begin to tell ya how much we dogs do not like the tree, they always put it up right where we play the most....IT"S UNFAIR
ReplyDeleteThe silvers and more
