Yesterday Trixie told you about the Oggz we got from Santa Claus, and today I’m here to tell you about another present—socks! We didn’t ask for the Oggz, because we never knew there was such a thing, but of course we know all about socks, and so we asked Santa to bring us lots and lots of pretty, comfy socks…and he did!
Now, I know what you’re thinking: who the heck asks for socks for Christmas? Right? The general thinking is that children don’t like to get clothes for Christmas, they just like to get toys. Well, that may be true, but, as we’ve mentioned before, we are NOT babies, and also, we are NOT children. We’re Whimsies! And, as Whimsies, we have a keen interest in Fashion, so it turns out socks make an excellent gift for us!
During the winter time, we often wear footie-pajammies to keep our feet warm, but sometimes we like to wear sweatpants, and when we do, we neeed socks. We have a few pairs already, but it’s always nice to have more. I am a firm believer that you can never have too many socks.
Santa Claus stuffed our stockings with socks! I think between the three of us we got at least a dozen new pairs of socks, Here are just a few of them….
…and here is another picture of us, modeling our new socks! This is only the beginning of our collection! I think we have enough socks to keep our feet warm and pretty, no matter what outfits we may choose to wear.
Tomorrow Tillie will stop by to tell you about another really cool gift we got. But before I go, here’s one more Christmas gift I want to share. It was not for me and Tillie and Trixie, but for Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty. Santa brought our pet dinosaurs a good supply of succulent jade leaves, which are so sweet, they are like candy for dinosaurs! As you can see, the four dinos are thoroughly enjoying their snack in their new home.
Oooh oooh! I don’t think we got to tell you about ths yet. The dinosaurs have moved into the penthouse apartment of Mr. Squee’s condo! Mr. Squee mainly lives on the second floor, and he stores his Toys on the third floor, but no one is using the top floor, so Mr. Squee said the dinosaurs could live there…rent-free! Wasn’t that nice of him? They get plenty of sunshine, and since it’s up so high, they feel very safe.
Sometimes Mr. Squee tries to be all gruff and business-like (I think because he knows he has such an important job to do as Dog Catcher of Whimsieville), but when it comes right down to it, he is so often extremely kind, to all of us Whimsies, and everyone else here in Whimsieville (in his own very special and quiet way). Santa also brought Mr. Squee a very nice present, but I will leave that for Tillie to tell you about, when she stops by tomorrow with yet another installment of “Christmas in Whimsieville!”
Hi, everyone! Trixie here. Well, Chistmas has come and gone, and Santa Claus has come and gone, and he left us with some pretty nice presents. Over the next few days we’re going to share our Christmas gifts with you here, and we’re starting today with…OGGZ! 
Yeah, these Oggz don’t actually DO anything, except look cool, but sometimes that’s all you want out of a present. No, wait. I take that back. The Oggz would be excellent as night lights, if we ever got scared, and felt like we wanted a little night light on as we were going to sleep. But we don’t really anticipate that will be the case. Mostly, we just like them because they’re pretty.
Miss Chrissy says the Oggz are very difficult to take pictures of, because the lighting has to be “just so,” and especailly if you are trying to take a picture of all of them at the same time, you can’t really make the Oggz be a certain color at a certain time, they just keep doing whatever they want to do. So it’s hard to get a picture of three Oggz showing three different colors at the same time. But I think the portrait she made of us below shows off the Oggz pretty well, and of course, don’t we all look comfy and cozy in our snuggly pajammies?
Christmas is getting very close now, and tonight we took a break from our TV Christmas specials and Santa Claus stake-out to read an old favorite Christmas book. 
she saw the cute little green polka dot jammies Miss Chrissy had for her to wear. As you can see, the strawberries among the polka dots declare that Tillie is “Berry Sweet”! How cute!
Trixie put together another “Pretty in Pink” outfit, this one also sporting polka dots on the footie pants, as well as polka dots on a sleepy-eyed elephant! Whoever heard of a brown and white polka dot elephant? Not me! But he certainly looks contented. And I love the flowers on his ears!
Miss Chrissy confessed that she did not remember this book from her childhood, since at the time, she was a strict devotee of Dr. Seuss and Beverly Cleary. She only came across Mr. Willowby when her own children (who are now grown) were little, and loved to read everything they could get their hands on —Seuss, Cleary, Willowby, Sendak, Scarry, Curious George, Berenstain Bears and Goosebumps, to name a few. The list goes on and on!
adopted by some bears, who snip the top, which ends up going to the Fox family, and the tippy-top of their tree makes the Rabbit family very happy, but it’s too tall for their mantle so they snip-snip, and little Mistletoe Mouse takes that snip to his house, and it’s just perfect for his family! And what do you know? The Mouse family lives in a mouse hole in the baseboard of Mr. Willowby’s enormous house, right next to Mr. Willowby’s enormous Christmas tree.
Look at the Whims! How cute is this?? Since the last time you saw them, they’ve collected a few more Christmas bags, and even taken over the two stockings “hung by the chimney with care.” Now they’re camped out by the fireplace, and they look like they can’t wait for Santa Claus to make his visit! 
Hey, everyone! Tessie here! And as you can see, we are having our Christmas Hair Ribbon Fashion Show! I think we mentioned last time that Miss Chrissy is having a hard time finding Christmas clothes for us that don’t say “Baby’s First Christmas,” so we decided to get creative with our Christmas spirit and concentrate on Christmas-ifying our hairstyles with some pretty red velvet ribbons. 
Now, here’s Trixie, and as you can see, she is finally getting to wear the red and pink striped jammie, which is so soft and comfortable, and since there are no feet on it, she is also wearing some pink socks (though you can’t see that in this picture, but you can see the socks in the Group Portrait below). We all have to be covering up our feet these days, and wearing long sleeves, because it’s been exceptionally COLD! It’s not actually cold cold in Whimsieville, but it just feels cooler than usual. But Miss Chrissy and the The Man will often run the fireplace, so that makes us toasty warm when we need it.
Tillie had a little trouble figuring out how to work her Christmas ribbon, and the problem it seems, is that she has SO MUCH HAIR!! Can you imagine? I sometimes wish I had long beautiful hair like Tillie, but then when I see how difficult it was for her to find a way to wear her Christmas ribbon, it occurred to me that every kind of hair style has its pluses and minuses. Tillie first tried pulling her hair back in one big ponytail, which is great, but you really can’t see her ribbon so well like that. So later, she decided to go back to her usual hairstyle, which is to let her long beautiful hair hang down her back, held back by a headband.
