Feel such a fool for not knowing that!!

I'm back from the woods with the pigs. They're the mobile mounds of greenery. I've got a load of holly and ivy, a small fir tree for the snug, a larger one for the tea room, a big one for the outside and there's already a massive conifer growing in the meadow that I see the beasties have already decorated. Looks lovely.

The mill pond is starting to ice over and, if I know the Bluestocking, it'll probably soon be strong enough to safely skate on.

There's loads of snow on Peak Woo. The hoar frost on the trees tinkles and shimmers and is absolutely beautiful.

I'm going to have some hot chocolate by the fire in the snug until I've defrosted, I'm looking forward to seeing what the gerbils have done with the decorations down from the attic and the greenery me and the pigs brought back. The carpenter capybara was an absolute star. I almost expect to see her on the top of the meadow tree 😁

Has anyone opened the first window on the advent calendar?

I might Christmas up my username in the next thread if I can think of something thematically appropriate but still recognisably me.

I see you also found time to fit in some choir practice with the gerbils and quokkas, @lcakethereforeIam

Christmas at the Bluestocking looks beautiful!

I disapprove of a glacé iced Christmas cake on principle, it should have marzipan and be fully iced, but knowing AI I decided to leave well alone rather than try to fix it! Let's just call it a nut free version.

I also did some running with the deer, that's why I needed a sit down.

@FuzzyPuffling - I should have realised ! Very special

I'm not sure that anything billed as 'nut free' will feel quite at home in The Bluestocking.

😂

Cake - I got this far before I realised you weren't talking about your home life:

'I'm back from the woods with the pigs. They're the mobile mounds of greenery. I've got a load of holly and ivy, a small fir tree for the snug, a larger one for the tea room...' that's when I twigged.

.

The tea room's looking nice. Well done, gerbils!

'The carpenter capybara was an absolute star. I almost expect to see her on the top of the meadow tree 😁'

I imagine your AI was thinking WTF when you asked for those pictures! 🤣

Just putting this in the tearoom for later. No one eat the greenery or the berries!

😍

I'm not sure it's that sentient or intelligent.

It's proof of the lack of intelligence that it doesn't go 'WTF'.

I suppose IChristmasCakeThereforeIAm would be too obvious?

If I was going to do a seasonal NC related to my usual persona I could have any of Gouger, Rooter, Tusker or Snouter TheHog, I suppose. The latter sounds like probably the most suited to The Bluestocking with its ample troughs.

I'd considered that but, yeah, a bit too obvious.

How about ImincepiethereforeIam...but now I see it written down I'm not at all happy about 'pie'. Back to the drawing board.

IstollenthereforeIam?

IYuleLogThereforeIAm?

(It goes without saying that all Xmas names should be CamelCased.)

IpannetonethereforeIam?

@lcakethereforeIam then after Christmas you should become IGaletteDesRoisThereforeIAm
