Day Two Thousand Three Hundred and Forty Eight

We had a very busy night last night.

All the Mahoneys were here for our second Merry Christmas dinner. 

We had lots of cheese too. Ha.

It was a table sheet dinner and we stayed the beautiful table for a very very long time.

Because everybody was just laughing all the time. Not just eating.

Tara too.

We had lots and lots of food and lots of wine too. Ha.

Then we had the secret present time. Everybody got lots of more presents. 

My friend Craig got little pigs from Tara. 

In a bottle. I do not know why. Oh well.

Mister Kirian got lots of things to play the dragons game 

And he gave Emmet a dragons game book too. Ha.

And Mister Aidan got clothes made by fierce wolves. That is not true. That is silly.

Emmet gave Richard a book all about the bees laws in way way long ago Ireland. 

When they thought bees were cows. Oh dear. That is silly.

I had to mind everybody. It is my best job. 

Then it was very late and everybody went away to their own houses. 

But I had a sick tummy. In the nighttime. And my friend Craig did too. Oh dear.

Zita said maybe we ate way too many tasty treats. Oh dear. Too bad for us.

Then Craig did not even get up until lunchtime. 

Because of his sick tummy. I kept his feet toasty warm. Ha.

Then we were all better again. Ha. That is good.

Tasty treats are too tasty sometimes. It is known. Oh well.

After lunchtime Emmet went to the busy street. To visit Miss Sue. To make his hair all neat and tidy. 

Before he goes back to his far away university. 

Because when he goes back he has to teach the new students all about a famous long long time ago king.

Who had a magic sword. And a dragon on his flag. Ha. That is a good flag.

Then Zita and Niamh went downtown to get Niamh a brand new not all broken phone. 

They had to talk to the people who do not listen so well. That is why Zita went too. 

Maybe Emmet should go too. With his giant sword or his scary Viking axe. Ha. 

Then they would listen. Maybe.

Craig and I just stayed here. We did not have any Merry Christmas treats. 

So we would not have sick tummies again. 

Craig did not even wear his shoes today. He wore his toasty warm slippers instead.

You no not have to wear shoes if you are a bit sick. It is the rule.

I had a nice nap and Craig read one of his brand new for Christmas books. 

Craig and I had a nice quiet day today.

So we would be all better again. 

When Zita came home we went to the busy street. So we could go to our nice bank. 

They gave me my Merry Christmas time giant treat.

We had an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because very early tomorrow my friend Emmet has to go to the aeroport. 

To find his aeroplane to go to far away Halifax. 

And then go on a big bus to his very little apartment in far away Antigonish. Oh dear.
