I’ve been saving this picture for a couple of days:
CHRISTMAS PIGGIES!
Those two are Desiree and Carl, and they are owned by my friends Harry and Chatman. Speaking of pigs, I’m off to feed Tunch some tuna.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

OK, I can now say I’ve seen everything.
Merry Christmas BJers. Let there peace on earth, and short of that, let there be peace in your heart.
ETA: I love that the pig is named Carl. And that Desiree has a dainty skirt. Also.

Merry Christmas John and all BJer’s. I just ordered the calendar and hopefully the proceeds help Charlie’s Angels save many animals. Special thanks to Beth for the design.

Mmmmm Cochinita pibil!!!

Happy holidays, y’all. Coffee and chocolate chip pancakes have been consumed, Sunday paper (what of it there was) has been read and now we’re watching Sunday Morning. Shrimp and grits for Christmas dinner. Mmm-mm.

Sex & bacon for me. Awesome, Merry Christmas!

Why did I agree to have everyone over for breakfast? How drunk was I last night? If everything turns out, I’ll pull a JeffreyW and take pictures.

Piggies! Cute Christmas piggies!
Said it in the last thread, but merry Christmas to all you Juicers. A lovely cold, clear day here in the ‘Burgh. Drinking coffee, eating some lemon pitzelles. Watching Sunday Morning and easing into the day.
I’m in charge of dips (and breads) for the feast at my sister’s, who owns my parents’ home. I made an onion dip that is better than anything you could possibly buy. And the other dip, an herb and feta concoction, may be one of the best things I’ve ever made. But last night’s standing rib roast may beat it by a hair.
Holidays are about food and family and I’m lucky to have excellence in both.

Pigs on parquet? There’s a rhyme or two in there.
Have a very merry, folks!

tuna duty has been taken care of, twice already this morning, tuna every time i eat something, that is the only way to keep the peace around here

Merry Christmas everyone. Last night, I performed the annual I-95 sleigh ride from NJ to DC, leaving at 11pm and getting in at 3 am, dropped my sons off at their mom’s house and put some presents around the tree, including setting up an x-box at 4 in the morning and getting in a quick half of Madden 12, before getting out of there. I’m serving the Christmas meal at Walter Reed Military Medical Center today, which is always a heartening event for the troops and their families. Hopefully fewer wounded warriors this year, and more older vets. As far as my Christmas wish list, there’s only one thing on it…
harlana
gotta get off here, gettin’ too chatty.
Happy Holidays to all! enjoy your families, pets, food, eggnog, pets in costumes, what have you! =)

Perfect John – husband is squeeeing in the other room over the XMas piggies.
Happy Holidays to all!

It is indeed bacon.

Just a note for all of you who feed tuna to your cats. I know if you do it very rarely, it won’t have a detrimental effect, but if it’s done on a regular basis, the high mercury content is not good for them. Maybe try canned salmon instead.

‘n fried eggs and Christmas cookies with coffee, Smoky and Tiger and Jasmine bloated with tuna, everyone back asleep with the heater hissing. Now a very hot bath with eucalyptus oil, ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Then presents! This….it’s working, oh yes.

Oh! I LOVE LOVE LOVE those pigs!
Mr. Screaming and I have boiled down this holiday thing to almost nothing this year…not even a sauce, just a little crusted over moisture at the bottom of the pan, lol. This afternoon we’re going to the wilds of Alabama where I will sleep, read, watch movies, walk dogs and stare at the fire for six days. Bless the FSM.
Joyeux Noel, y’all!

Pigs! (Two Different Ones)

Fried eggs with biscuits and Jimmy Dean sausage. Sighthound Kitty working a rawhide chew in front of the fire. A Christmas Story on the box. The Bumpus hounds just stole the turkey. I haven’t watched this in years; forgot how consistently good it is all the way through, not just the big set pieces.

I love those Christmas piggies! Especially Desiree’s white front feet, so delicate and ladylike.
Merry merry happy happy, everyone!!

@SIA:
Have a wonderful, relaxing trip, SIA. See you in 2012?

Great; now you’ve got me thinking up a song Christmas Pigs (to the tune of War Pigs, but much happier):
Kids descend like hungry peasants,
tearing into Christmas presents.
All I got so far.

Even I, raised as I was to look upon swine as unclean creatures, think those little piggies look adorable.
Speaking of swine, let’s spare a thought for Noot, who has had his holidays spoiled somewhat by discouraging news. And has chosen to bear the disappointment with a truly presidential display of boundless self-pity.

Jesus, thanks for reminding me!
I almost forgot to defrost the Christmas ham.

@Amir Khalid: The thought I’ve spared for Gnoot is GFY.

Gave myself a mini-pie maker for Christmas, so it was blackberry-ginger pie for breakfast, and pear-cranberry pie for later. Dinner will be steak au poivre, mustard mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. And more pie.
And tonight is the Dr Who Christmas Special.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Happy Sunday to those who don’t.
SIA
@SiubhanDuinne: Thanks SD. Another plus is I’ll have some time to hang around here. And yes, definitely early in 2012 let’s get together!

Are there any swear words in the BJ calendar? If not, I can order one for my mom in the States.

Christmas piggies!! Desiree and Carl are adorable.

Aw, so cute. (I suspect if I scroll through in a few days, I might react differently – the glowing eyes, you know – but today’s Christmas.) This also reminds me to re-read Pratchett’s Hogfather.

@Amir Khalid:
You mean he’s not driving away his sorrows with an extended shopping trip to Tiffany’s? And he didn’t even use it as an excuse to beg for more money! Where’s the real Newt Gingrich, and what have they done with him?

I think there is some mention of the word “pu ssy”.

My neighbors have a teacup pig named Henri. We hear him rooting around in the backyard for acorns.
