Mister Marmalade's Christmas Carol...

Dear furry friends I have a little Christmas story that Mister Marmalade told to me this very morn of a strange occurrence that happen to him on his way home from the daisy field.

Twas  at least two or more nights before Christmas no sound in the paddock, no creature crawling and definitely no sign of Mister Marvelous Mouse. When Mister Marmalade was walking on his way back to his cosy, fluffy, heated (well he is rather old) bed from the sadly no more to be seen till spring Daisy field.

As you know Mister Marmalade loves the Daisy field but often forgets the time and ends having to go home in the the dark.
Mister Marmalade is frightened of the dark and always tries to make sure he is home in plenty of time.

However he lost track last night   (he is rather forgetful) and had to walk  along Miss Furry's fence to go home to bed. In the dark. There was no moon just the odd slither of light from the houses in the hamlet.

When he approached Miss Furry's fence he heard a strange noise in the distance where the tumble down Shepard 's house is, in the field on the horizon. Well, Mister Marmalade not know for his courage could just in the distance see the faint glimmer of lights and a strange high pitched noise.  At this, Mister Marmalade was stricken with fear. And was quite afraid to move.

He stood there for quite a while with his cuddly sploggy face all screwed up and his soft padded paws over his ears.  Not sure what to do at all.

When he finally plucked up the courage to look toward the shepherds house he saw what he though was strange shapes moving in the shafts of light that was radiating out.

 Mister Marmalade saw a sleeping Mrs Goat. And said in a rather trembling voice. "Hello there Mrs Goat, can you by chance see the lights over there" . "Mrs Goat opened one eye, "what by the tumble down Shepard house" . "Yes"mister marmalade trembled.
"Oh yes"said Mrs Goat "that's them mice".

It turns out it was In fact Mister Marvelous Mouse's Christmas party. And any mini furry or feathery and even the odd cat or two where indeed welcome  to go.
"Oh well that's a relief" said Mister Marmalade "I shall not go though I have a bed (heated) with my name on it! And with that set on his merry way home.

 May all have a very Merry Christmas from Miss Furry and all her friends.🐱
