Waiting for Santa

ammo the dachshund waiting for santa

Last year the seemingly long anticipation for Santa to come was nearly unbearable for me.

Not to mention waiting for the thrill of seeing a box sitting under the Christmas tree that was just for me. So this year I decided to have a little fun while I count the days until Santa comes.

Starting tomorrow and continuing everyday up until Christmas it’s “Ammo’s 12 Days of Christmas”. So make sure you check back everyday – because I’m so excited I can hardly wait!

Holiday Parade

On Saturday was the Downingtown Christmas Parade that comes right down the street in front of my shop. As per our yearly tradition, me and Trooper staked out the best spot in front of the shop to watch the parade go by.

There were marching bands galore and lots of amazing floats this year.

And despite the cold temperatures the streets were packed with people excited to watch the parade go by.

This guy on top of an old fire engine even waved at me! He must read my blog.

The parade was so much fun, but my real duties of the day were inside the shop – where I handed out hot cider and cookies to all the chilly parade goers.

I might have had to sample the goods too, you know, to make sure they were tasty enough for my guests.

So what about you, what kind of things are you doing to get into the Holiday Spirit? There’s only 14 more days until Santa comes to visit! Time to get your Holiday Cheer on! Yipeee!

Deck the Halls with Twinkling Lights

After owning my Christmas tree for 4 days I was FINALLY able to decorate it last night with my family.

I tried really hard to help dad string the lights….

…but when you have paws for hands it can get a little complicated.

So, dad had to finish up that step of decorating the tree without me.

But I did get to hang up some of my favorite ornaments.

Remind you of any super adorable Dachshunds?

In the end my tree came out looking spectacular! Although, I might have to gnaw off some of the bottom branches, you know, so my mounds of Christmas presents have plenty of room to fit under the tree.

Ho Ho Ho

As per my yearly tradition, mom and dad took me to visit Santa again this year.

I wore my best-est Christmas outfit and told Santa about all the toys and goodies I was hoping he’d leave me under my tree, just like in years past….

I asked him if he could forget about the secret stash I have hiding under my bed if I promised to leave him a big plate of cookies on Christmas Eve!

I also might have asked if I could keep one of his magical reindeer.

I told him not to worry, because I would take excellent care of him since I have loads of experience taking care of ponies.

I’d also take an elf if he has extra. 🙂

 

This year my trip to see Santa benefited Canine Partners for Life, an organization that is dedicated to training service dogs for people in need. Special Thanks to Clocks for Seeing Photography for the wonderful shot of me with Santa!
