Red-olph the red nosed weasel had a very fakey nose and if you ever saw it you would even say, “What is that fake red thing you have on your nose? And if it isn’t fake shouldn’t you see a dermatologist about that?
All of the other weasels used to laugh at her that she sucked so bad at sports. They never picked poor Belette when the picking of teams for P.E. was enforced.
Then one bloggy Christmas Eve Santa came to Belette’s blog to comment: “Belette with your chasm of shoes, I have some really good news.”
Then the other weasels pondered, how did Belette finagle that. She went from having a crap year to seeming to bounce back.
I do have to fly. I have places to be tonight and before I make the big trip to my mother’s house I did want to wish you all a very happy holiday. Whether you will be visited by Santa Weasel, the Badger of Hanukkah, the Ermine of Kwanza or the Otter of Festivus, I hope that you have a Merry Mustelidi Festivity. And, no, that is not my real nose in the picture. But thanks for asking.
Oh, if you have nine minutes and want to see a weaselly version of the Christmas Carol, I give to you “The Christmas Weasel”. I think the weasel that plays Scrooge is particularly talented. One of my favorites lines: “Three spirits: Gin, Brandy and Rum” and for you vegetarians there is a mention of Tofurkey. I feel sure that this Christmas special will make you as “Merry as a school weasel”. And, Randal, there is a line in there about working in a library that I am sure you will enjoy.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxx
I’m going Old School, Belette: Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brings you a sack of shoes.
Merry Christmas to you and He-Weasel. I hope your visit with your mom is nice. I hope you get lots of shoes and puppy things.
xoxoxox
Dearest Belette, may this Christmas be one of shoes and joy, chocolate orange and champagne.
It is now officially Christmas day as I write this in Australia – and the forecast is for a glorious day.
Happy Christmas to He-Weasel too – you are lucky to have found him.
I am lucky to have found you in during your craptastic year.
love and hugs xx
Merry Christmas, and safe travels!
Happy Holidays! Good luck with your mother; I hope all goes well. My best to you and your fellah!

Ho Ho Ho Meeeerrreeee Chrimass (ffffuufff) as my son would say. Play a blinder and enjoy every minute of it. French toast beckons.

Dammit, I’ll have to listen when I get back to my desk.
Don’t worry, I’d pick you for my sports team. We’d need someone to help us pick out fashionable uniforms.
If you pass some of that gin, brandy and rum, I won’t tell O’Reilly of your failure to say a certain phrase.
Safe and happy travels!
Merry Christmas, Belle! Hope you and the he-weasel have a beautiful day, and that the visit with your mom goes well.
And early wishes for Christmas #2 this year with Westie next week.
All good Christmas blessings to you! Safe travels.
xoxo
