BRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Hey guys! Wait up. We'll hook the dogs up to the sled and take turns walking and riding. Does anyone have a compass? What? No milk for hot chocolate? I think the pole is red and white, isn't it? Oh, SAAAAAAAAAAA-NTA! We're COOOOOOOO-LLLLDDDD! I know! Follow the North Star! Maybe we should have used ballons! We could see it better.

Do you think we can get 1st class seats with the animals?
I need a vacation.....could you guys let me know when you'll be swinging by Apple Hill????
Hi Whiskers Mom glad you could join us! Time is short if we are going to help Santa fill his sleigh...is he out of the hospital yet?? Head on with a jet plane isn't the best way to get ahead this holiday season!
Hang on everyone we are heading NORTH!

He'll be all right! He's magical. By Christmas Eve, with all of us helping, the sleigh will be packed and ready to go. Here, Ghyslaine, hold the dog on your lap, please. It's so nice you came along. He was crowding me a bit. Lorie, do you have the other dog?
** was being drug through the snow for miles by the dog which has finally stoped at Jeanie's feet.**

You'll all be pleased to know we've finally reached the North Pole! And, I've just been informed Santa Claus is doing just fine and he's all ready to fly; though he'll be a bit more careful now that he's come to appreciate the presence of aircraft.
Now that we're back in the lovely lodging facility, pictured in a post earlier in this thread, I've got a surprise! Our cats, who had to stay behind whilst we ventured into the Frozen North, have decided to put on a little Christmas show for us! Forgive the blurry picture, but reception up here is oftentimes marginal.
Okay, that's it! Let's have a big round of applause for our cats! And now, let's get some sleep as we've a big day ahead of us.
*BLOWS LOUD AND ANNOYING WHISTLE*
Rise and shine, everybody! Say good-bye to the Arctic! Our ride is here!
Don't worry: Submarines are a lot quieter than they used to be. Next stop: Easter Island!

Wouldn't Christmas Island be a more appropriate destination? Perhaps, Santa Claus, Arizona? (Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus.)
That's a good idea! I'll ask the captain to drop us off on Christmas Island. My, but the others along on this trip have been ratherquiet lately. I hope they're not ill!
I'll ask the cook to prepare a nice pot of lobscouse for everybody! I'm sure that'll pick up everyone's spirtis.

That was a nice nap, wasn't it? Where's the coffee? I'm not the best person to be around without my morning coffee.
Mr. Cat, something smells good, but what is it? Since you were so into Haggis and Spam the last time, I am a little skeptical about your food choices. Good thing I brought some Christmas cookies and hot chocolate. Dig in everyone!

Mr. Cat, that sounds like a combination of lobster and mouse! I'm sure that the cats will love it but, how about some people food?
Perhaps, I can get Bill into one of his cookie-baking moods.

LOBSCOUSE (SCOUSE)
“Scouse,“ or to give it its real name “lobscouse,†is a type of food eaten by Liverpudlians while living in poverty prior to the 1900s. As you can see below, the food is a type of stew which as a recipe has been a hot topic of debate over the years. Arguments over which meat or vegetables should rightfully grace the stew are common in the Merseyside region and will probably always be. But the truth is, the stew was made with whatever meat and vegetables were available at the time of making. Hence, its popularity in poverty-stricken times.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. of Lamb or Beef
2 OXO Cubes
1 lb. Mince
An Onion
A Cabbage
5 lbs. of Potatoes
1 lb. Carrots
1 lb. Tomatoes
DIRECTIONS:
Dice the meat into 1 inch pieces, place in a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil.
Drain water, rinse meat under running tap, replace into large pan, cover with water again and bring to the boil.
Finely chop the onion and stir into the pan with the meat and mince.
Shred and dice the cabbage, throw into the pot.
Peal the spuds and dice about half of them, throw into the pot.
Dice the carrots and other veggies and put them into the pot with the OXO cubes, give a good stir and cover the lot with water.
Bring to the boil and turn down heat to simmer, cover with a pan lid and leave to simmer for about 5 hours, stirring the lot every now and then.
Dice the remainder of the potatoes, put into pot and leave to simmer for another 2 hours.
Can be served with red cabbage, beetroot and brown sauce.

I make some salads and biscuits to go with the stew stuff, and figgy pudding for dessert. (sp?) Anyone for sparkling cider?
**frantically searches for gum she was chewing BEFORE dozing off**
Ummmm, Jeanie, this dog needs some air. I have no idea what's going on. My lap is not the perfect place to be playing dog chases tail at 100 miles per hour. Ouch!
Ooooops.....**notices the dog chewing something and realizes what happened to her gum**.
(stomach growls) Now for the decision, Lobscouse or cookies????.....hmmmmm.

Ghys, We can't let the dog run loose in the plane! He's chewing your what? He'd be better off eating that Lobscouse. Actually, it doesn't sound bad at all. I think my dad called it tramp's stew. He was from Devonshire, though. I'll have some. Thanks, Mr. Cat! And figgy pudding?
Now, bring me me some figgy pudding, now bring me some figgy pudding!
(I've sung about it, but have no idea what I'm getting into. I hope it's not plum pudding!)

Hmm, Debby makes a good point--what are OXO cubes? Are they another way to feed us vegemite and spam?
