Here’s a bit of Scottie Christmas for you and yours ….

A Christmas Poem

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
There was barking and snuffling because of a mouse.

All I Want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas is a treat to eat,
a treat to eat, just a treat to eat.

If I could only have just a treat to eat,
then I could wish you Merry Christmas.

The Friendly Beasts

Jesus our brother, kind and good
Was humbly born in a stable rude
And the friendly beasts around Him stood,
Jesus our brother, kind and good.

“I,” said the Scottie, black and warm,
I snuggled their feet on Christmas morn;
They won’t hurt my baby who’s just born.”
“I,” said the Scottie, black and warm.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
With Love from Jack and Spec
