Hope that, if Christmas is a day you celebrate, that it is lovely, trauma free, champagne filled day and that Santa brought you all you deserve, lots of shoes, a puppy dog and a trip to Paris. If not just remember that the after-Christmas sales where you can buy what you really want. Joyeux Noël, mon amies!!
As you read this He-weasel and I are at my Mother’s in Palm Springs today having a ho-ho-hole in one kind of holiday in the land of golf cart Christmas parades and men in tartan plaid Bermuda shorts and Santa’s hats. I should be fine, I brought my own Xanax and several bottles of Champagne. I listened to Ricky Gervais all the way to my mother’s and that is the best thing I can do to keep my spirits bright. Oh, and He-weasel sang his versions of Christmas songs that often have chorus’ that involve lots of “Inkey-dinkey-dinkey-doo’s”.
So, as you read this, we ought to be doing some or all of the following: drinking champagne, eating Brie or a chocolate orange and watching Heat Miser and Cold Miser sing their duet and then there is my traditional annual viewing of “All the President’s Men” that I watch when everyone else is napping( don’t ask why, I have no idea why. Tradition is tradition, best not to mess with it by asking) and then He-weasel and I do our annual walk and debriefing of the day so far and then there will be prime rib slathered with horseradish sauce. Hope you’re having even a better day than we are. If not, have a little champagne, chocolate, Brie and sometime with someone who doesn’t drive you totally cookaloo—and if that doesn’t work then just hold on, breath deep and know that Christmas is only one day and soon you will be back home in your condo, I mean comfort zone.
Happy Christmas!!
Bisoux,
La Belette Rouge
p.s. I’ll be back home tomorrow and back on the blogosphere.

I hope you survive to write another gem La belette. Your words make me smile, think, and write.
All the presidents men? Nice touch, I think???
Hey a tradition is a tradition right?
Oh boy Eddie Izzard? Now there’s a blast from my past
Merry Christmas, LBRouge!
I do so like the new decor, particularly the stylishly dressed woman à la Camille. Simply stunning.
Yours was the first Christmas greeting that I received from the Land of Blog when I finally was able to nail down a connection to the ‘net.
Happy New Year, ma chère
Great, so that was about 45 mins watching Eddie Izzard clips on your site, one after the other. Well, I couldn’t just LEAVE them there, could I???
That was bloody brilliant!!! I am a new fan.
Merry, merry Christmas!!!
Love to you Belette, and have a great day….you made me smile! x
As always, your holiday sounds way more glamorous than anything I’ve got going on!
Happy Christmas lovely lady! So far I have spent the day avoiding my crazy relatives and singing in guitar hero world tour. Hope your holiday was quite lovely… Thanks for being a sweet blog friend this year!
smooches!

Merry Christmas LBR! We have had such terrible snowy weather here for the past week we stayed home and did not go to my parents for Christmas Eve nor to my husband’s family for Christmas Day. Thus far, it’s been a pretty drama-free Christmas! The dogs received toys and goodie treats, I got a nice Jessica perfume giftset from my hubby and I am thinking about checking out watching movies on Lifetime today!
Can’t wait to hear about the arrival of your little Westie!
Merry Christmas, my friend!
This is a great post. Seriously. Way better than my grinch LOLcat.
Have a great Christmas day!!!
Tchin-tchin! Have the merriest of holidays…
Joyeux Noël, ma belle!!!!
Big hug
xoxo
Merry Christmas *raises champagne flute in toast*
Noah turned up! LOL.
Merry Christmas. Shame I can’t ride around on a golf cart in 20 degree weather…. Although I did make microwave cupcakes (not suggesting this for anyone) and place a nice phat order online at J Crew. Ho Ho Ho!
Merry Christmas!
Happy Crimbo, and remember your three Cs.
Happy Fetivitudes Belette!
We had a great day (apart from the fact that I’ve caught some lurgy that makes me feel like I’m swallowing razor blades), two families of friends dropped by to drink champagne and we had a bbq, and sat out the back in the sun, patted the puppies, and watched the kids play with all their new toys.
My son said it was the best Christmas ever. Not 1 harsh word was spoken, no raised voices or angry tones. My daughter was given an Upsy Daisy Doll who she carted around all day, who I heard her talking to as if she were alive, and who was so lucky as to get to watch her go to the toilet.
No shoes for me, but then that is what the post-xmas sales are for in my eyes.
I hope santa brang you your list – and I know that there will soon be puppy.
I love the tone of this post – that even your mother can’t bring you down.
Christmas is just 1 day a year – enjoy what you can.
with love and hugs and peanut butter cups
Um, I’ve eaten all those foods today! We just finished an amazing dinner of wild mushroom brie fondue (with dipping items of bread, red and yellow peppers, potato and asparagus) and NY Striploin marinated in yummy garlic rub. Then M just made us dessert – organic coffee ice cream with homemade gingerbread cookies from daycare. So delish! Did I mention I’ve had half a bottle of wine
THe world is looking lovely right now!
I love that holiday greeting! and your new look! Guess which moron forgot to buy champagne before Christmas?
You always make me smile. Thank god, it is just one day. I’m back to my dressing gown and feeling rather dreamy after sleeping for about 10 hours.
I did have lots of double brie!
Yay for Chocolate, Brie, and Champagne! Mr. Spanish and I also broke out the Champagne! Hope you got everything for Christmas that you wanted!
GREAT Santa Weasel!
I drank champagne for 2 days C. Eve and C. day…. yummy… sadly no brie… the champagne made the holidays with family bearable! Boy do I have stories… unfortunately too many family members read my blog so they will not be revealed publicly!
we had a small but super christmas, with lots of food, drink, chocolate and laughter. the best kind of christmas.
lol @ comfort zone. i so agree. ^^
