Photo A Day Advent Calendar: Day 14

Finally. The Christmas tree is safe this year. At 6 years of age, Kodee decided we could leave the xpen down. That is only because she learned the decorations are not as much fun as the presents are!

Celebrating the one and only 12 (day), 12 (month) 12 (year)!
You have no idea how badly Becky wanted to play with the 12 Christmas balls!

I saw a tutorial at "I Heart Faces" on how to create a "Star Burst" effect with Christmas lights. However, I needed to make adjustments to their steps if I wanted to include a live, moving object - a.k.a. Becky, in my version.
Visit "Beyond the Dog Dish" if you want to see how I did it.

Christmas Dog

By Shel Silverstein

Tonight's my first night as a watchdog,

And here it is Christmas Eve.

The children are sleeping all cozy upstairs,

While I'm guardin' the stockin's and tree.

What's that now---footsteps on the rooftop?

Could it be a cat or a mouse?

Who's this down the chimney?

A thief with a beard--- And a big sack for robbin' the house?

 I'm barkin', I'm growlin', I'm bitin' his butt.

He howls and jumps back in his sleigh.

I scare his strange horses, they leap in the air.

I've frightened the whole bunch away.

 Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again.

The stockin's are safe as can be.

Won't the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow

And see how I've guarded the tree.

Let's Negotiate Dasher!
If that sack is loaded with cookies, let's cut a deal.
You hand over the goodies and I won't tell Becky where your at!
