It started just after the sun crossed over the yard arm, when we opened the tradional bottle of Christmas Champers.
We then had a little Christmas sherry, to warm the cockles, before setting out for the traditional Christmas walk. I managed a little Christmas draw with my new Chritsmas pens.
Then, when we got back home we had a traditional mulled wine so that we didn't catch colds, of course.
And, then it was time for another little Christmas draw. The draw for the drawing above. All the names, of everybody who bought my little Molezine, were put into a bowl. Then in a flash of creativity (a Christmas brandy or two) we decided to get the dog to draw the name out. 
And, you know what? He did it. With a bit of encouragement (rubbing his Christmas bone on the names) he pushed one name out of the bowl. Honestly.
Unfortunatley, he then proceeded to eat it! Mwah mwah mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
But we did manage to wrestle the half eaten name off him. And the winner is, drum roll please, Kristen Ehmen.
Back in the New Year with lots of new stuff, folks. Can't wait to get drawing again. Have a fab 2010.

Best wishes for 2010...I've really enjoyed your drawings and your blog this year. Your dog looks like a real character too!
My Moleys said that their 2010 resolutions were to grow up to be your Moleys.
Happy New Year.
Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas, dear! I was visiting my family and it was lovely:) Hope you have a fabulous 2010 too! xo
One of the best posts ever. I love it...and this glimpse into your day.
This post was lots of fun. Now I know what a traditional British Christmas is like although I don't know what a yard arm is, or Champers, or mulled wine. :) But I got a feel for it all, I did - wonderful day. Happy New Year from across the pond!
Sounds like you guys had a lovely Christmas. Did you have snow? I've got family in Kilmarnock, Scotland - he said they had snow and everybody in the whole town was trapped indoors shortly after Christmas. He said it snowed about two inches, the salt/grit trucks came and did their thing, it snowed again and then rained and everything froze and nothing could be done about it because they were all out of sand and grit for the roads. Hilarious for someone like me who lives across the pond here in Canada - we've got about a foot and a half of snow, it's -25 degrees C with the windchill and we're all fine! Heheh. =) Glad to hear you had a nice holiday. Happy New Year!
Lovely dog ahhh!!
