I was looking for a photo for silent Sunday but this absolutely will not do, as how can anyone be silent about this AMAZING knitted nativity.

We don't do a religious Christmas, but oh my, this is crafting genius and a thing of beauty.

Also that blank stare that Mary is giving reminds me of new mothers everywhere. I see you Mary ✊

Have just realised I've not used that lovely glittery Santa hat for a single one of the #xmasHatting pets.

If you have a pet that would like to wear it, add them to the thread!

Been meaning to say, if anyone has a pet that they are desperate to see in a Santa hat but either 1. thinks it would be an indignity to make them wear one or 2. would like to avoid their pet taking appropriate revenge for the indignity, do share a photo with me & I'll happily do a virtual version if I can! I realise in the days of AI and photo filters you don't need a photoshopper anymore, but just in case anyone wants an artisnal version 🎅 🐱 🐶 #festiveBlether #catsOfMastodon #dogsOfMastodon

Right, away to bed, and I'm not sure what I'll dream of, but I strongly suspect it will be wearing a Santa hat 😆

G'night! 💤

The thread for pets in need of a Santa hat remains open for submissions, if anyone missed it.

Turns out I quite enjoy people's pets turning up in my notifications with a request for festive #xmasHatting

I've just boosted the thread where they live. I recommend a browse through the replies, there is a fine range of pets in non-festive and festive form in there. We had cats, dogs, birds, bunnies... it's lovely.

I could have been getting annoyed watching Johnson in every pause from work today. Instead I've been putting festive hats on Mastodonians' pets.

I think I made the right choice.

Offer still open, although it might be tomorrow before I do more.

I was a big fan of the Magic Roundabout as a child. My Dougal dog spends all year sitting on my desk, but he gets a special hat for December.

And a sugar lump for xmas, obvs.

Have just realised that this one looks like Santa's beard has become sentient and run away to a warmer locale.

Festive question time.

What's the best Christmas movie, and is it The Muppet Christmas Carol?
