My Christmas Box From Chloe

I got a box from my Santa Paws Exchange and it came from Chloe!  She sent me a card that looks just like me.

What's all in here?

Why I truly got a Christmas Gift Box, you know like you get from Harry and David or Hickory Farms.
I got some Mustard!

Why I got a Squeaky Sausage, Squeaky Mustard, Crunchy Cashews, Cheesy Ball,  wedge of cheese and a pear.  Chloe gave me a whole bag of Busy Bones too!  Chloe is the Bestest Santa Paws ever.

But Wait ~ There is one more wooden box!

LOOK  LOOK  LOOK

Do you see what Lee sees, there were three little Scottie Bell Ornaments.  Three ornaments that Lee loves!!  There is a red one, a green one, and a gold one.  Lee says they are her ornaments.  I guess I can give them to her.  But they look like ME!!!

 

Thanks You Chloe so very much!!!!

Crib of the Nativity & Christmas Eve

Every year we go to the Crib of the Nativity in Eden Park.  It has been a tradition in Cincinnati since 1939.  It has had over 3 million visitors.  We like to go on Christmas Eve.

See the sheep on the hillside.

Where are the sheperds?

With its hand-hewn beams and thatched roof, the creche is a historical representation of the first Christmas.

Live animals grace the grounds, while life-size waxen figures in handmade garments add a measure of realism to this depiction of the birth of Jesus.

Lee and I, Sweet William The Scot, can not say it any better than this wooden sign says what we wish for you this holiday.

Maybe we will travel home on this cart.

Look at just some of the wonderful cards I got from you dogs & cats.

I got my box from my Santa Paws Exchange.  It came from Chloe, she is not feeling real good now so please send her the power of our crossed paws.  I get to open the box tomorrow. 

Lee usually reads The Night Before Christmas to me before we snuggle into bed, but this year because I am now a big boy, I am going to read it to her.

 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Oops, I almost forgot to put cookies and milk under the tree for Santa.

 

 

 

 

Everyone Loves A Parade

Look at me, woo hoo, can you guess what I am in and what I am on?

I, Sweet William The Scot, am on this wagon bench!  It is the Mt. Washington Lighting of The Tower Parade for Christmas.

What a wonderful place to be!! 

 I smell Methane, high powered Methane. 

The rich smell of horse poop, there's nothing like it anywhere.

Horse manure generates so much as it decomposes that large piles of it have been known to spontaneously combust.  Lee I think we might go up in flames.

If  Horse manure is recycled grass why oh why does it smell this good?

These Horses are running on full!!

Lee says “They think they can make fuel from horse manure - Now, I don't know if your car will be able to get 30 miles to the gallon, but it's sure gonna put a stop to siphoning".

Look at this silly little band.

Oh Santa is here also.  Santa is everywhere.

Hellooo Santa you see me? I have been a good boy all year.
Santa believes in safety, he wears a helmet.

Watch out for the Horse Poop on my road!!!

 

Krohn Conservatory a Christmas Tradition

Krohn Conservatory, we go every Christmas Season to see the Holiday Flower Show.

The all natural Christmas Tree inside the entrance.  All the ornaments are made from things in nature.  Lee could teach you how to make them sometime.

The Conservatory has three wings, today I am just going to the Holiday Display, Trains and Tressels.

A miniature of the Great American Building, our newest skyscraper in downtown. 

 

All the structures are made from nature and they are miniatures of actual places in my city.

These are miniatures of the painted lady victorian homes.

See the miniature of the Eiffel Tower that is at Kings Island below.

Santa is here too!!  Hellooo Santa you see me?  I have been a good boy all year. 

Woo Hoo here I am sitting on this petrified tree from Arizona, where Kylascott lives. 

Happy Holidays to you.

Pssss ~ I have a lot more traditions to show you, so please come back! 

Scuba Santa

Okee Dokee, Lee told me to grab my hat we were in for a cold walk.

Lee parked our car on the Ohio side of the river and we walked across the Purple People Bridge, dedicated exclusively to pedestrian traffic, to Newport Kentucky.

We came to the Newport Aquarium to see Scuba Santa!

 

After you enter you see these fish from where Sammy and Wally live in Africa.

They have fish from all over the world.

The aquarium showcases thousands of animals from around the world in a million gallons of water,  a million gallons!

 The aquarium has 70 exhibits and 14 galleries, including five seamless acrylic tunnels totaling over 200 feet (61 m) in length.  These tunnels are the most fun because the fish swim under, over and around you. 

Look at the Seahorse, Lee loved watching them.

The Newport Aquarium's jellyfish gallery is the largest in the South.  It reminded Lee of Star Trek when they say beam me aboard because they swim in tubes  from floor to ceiling. 

They have Penguins, Rays, Mighty Mike the Alligator and much more.

But I came to see Scuba Santa swim with the sharks and a giant turtle.

Hi Scuba Santa, do you see me, I have been a good doggie!
