With so many of us getting into the festive spirit, what do you think about pets?

If you have pets, do you offer them a special treat for Christmas? Do you wrap any gifts for them?

Yes, they get a gift

No, they don't receive anything

Other, please comment

A gift? The dogs get many gifts! It’s really funny watching the dogs open presents!

the dog definitely knows it's Christmas! She sniffs all the presents and gets really excited with unwrapping the paper. Just a new tennis ball and some treats though, maybe a new collar if needed. money better spent on a child who wouldn't otherwise get a gift at Christmas

Being Danish, but having lived in the UK for many many years, and now living and running a small B&B in beautiful Provence, France - we have always celebrated the 24th December Danish style and the 25th English style, so getting the best of both worlds! On The 1st of December our house will be ready and decorated in many delicate, often handmade, bought or made by me, decorations. Flickering candles everywhere. On the first Sunday in December, ie the 2nd Sunday in advent, in the afternoon...until often late, our house would be full of friends and family, young and old, for our traditional Danish Gløgg Party, where everybody brings a little red Wine (for har gløgg) and a little something yo eat. We would make lots if gløgg and lots og æbleskiver, the twi bring served in private or in public places all over Denmark from the 1st of December! The tree itself will always be a real one, you will never ever find an artificial in any colour in our house! We get the fresh tree inside normally on the 22nd December, and it is decorated firstly by putting the brass George Jensen star on the top (always a star never an Angel), then the strings of warm white electric lights are spread around the tree. Then the serious decorating of the tree takes place, often accompanied by us eating some of the Danish Christmas nibbles I have made and drinking some Gløgg. The tree dekorations are all in gold, white, red and green. It takes quite some time to decorate, and finsly we hang the candle holders safely and not below any decorations, as c60 live candles are lit on Christmas Eve after our traditional Danish Christmas dinner and as we sit down around the beautiful tree and just before we open most of our presents. We open the rest of our presents just a few, sometime in the morning on the 25th either before or after a very nice brunch! The live candles are all safe as the tree is fresh, and because of the design of the Danish candle tree holders, and it us soooo beautiful, and we would absolutely have it any other way! On the 6th January sadly like all good things, the decorations cone down...and Christmas is another c 11 months away, and we'll do it all over again! Hope you all have a blessed, nice and quiet Christmas, and how lucky those if us are, who can say just that, and for us this will be our first proper Christmas in la belle Provence, and our Gløgg Party has moved to just before Christmas for varietes reasons! ;)

Last year the cat got a new bed, the chickens got a treat tin and the geese got a floating ball for the pond. It's the giving that's important, not which species you're giving to, or whether they are aware of it. I'm not religious but I love celebrating the fact that we all made it through another year.

POLL: Loo roll - Over or under?
Q
Comments (34)
Don't care but what drives me mad is toilet roll holders with only one fixing - they always end up wonky. Which dimwit decided that something which is continuously fiddled with (people folding over corners and swapping it around) should have only one anchor point?

POLL: How often do you change your cutting board?
Q
Comments (40)
I never, ever change mine. I use a butcher block and a huge thick wooden cutting board, only taking care to keep my fruits from suddenly tasting like onions or garlic. Studies have shown that a wooden cutting board is naturally resistant to bacteria, so I scrape and then wash mine off with soap and water after use. All this absurd paranoia about cleanliness is the product of marketing, not science, and the supposedly more sterile plastic ones are actually much better petri dishes for bacterial growth, which is why they must be cleaned and disposed of regularly. Fine if you want to keep plastic cutting board manufacturers in China working, but not at all safer or cleaner.

Dog, cat, rabbit, they are as much a part of the family than anybody else so of course they should get a present. I love giving my dog a new toy or his favourite treats for Christmas.
