We spent Christmas Day (from 3.00 p.m. when we arrived) at the Midlands branch HQ. The Suffolk branch had already arrived so we got into a festive mood very quickly.
We had fun turning cracker pulling into a tug of war contest. Here you see umpire Chelmer, adjudicating the pull between Black Doggy and Dessie.
All the fun was aided by the odd glass or two of festive tipple. You may need to enlarge our photo to see it, but if you do and you look closely, you will see we were drinking rather special wine from Fortnum and Mason's no less. Needless to say we didn't buy it, it was a thank you gift from an appreciative Bears Unlimited client.
We had a simply splendid Christmas meal and only just left room for home made Christmas pudding. We all gathered round for the ceremonial lighting of the brandy poured on the pudding.
Unfortunately it didn't photograph too well, but we all know that we were just a hairs length away from some lovely blue flames.
Our day was full of lovely company, fantastic food and wonderful presents. We couldn't have asked for more. We did make sure though,that amongst all the fun, we didn't forget what Christmas is really about - Bris even went to three Christmas Day church services (4 including the Midnight Communion). The rest of us were happy with one!
More news soon.
Lots of love, all at Bears Unlimited xxx

Who won the sprout eating contest though? I should imagine Dessie and his bush baby brother Harry need to eat quite a few to keep their fur nice and green but hopefully Bris fitted in a good big bowl full between services!
