Bucky has been a good sport and got into the Christmas Spirit with us. (Perhaps it can be best described as "No Choice Bucky".)
He started with shopping at Target and then later humouring us by donning a Santa hat for silly Christmas photos. Unfortunately for Bucky, his brief 2 minute, reluctant, hat modelling stint has been emblazoned for posterity on Facebook, Christmas letters and his blog page. ("No Choice Bucky".) I won't further embarrass him by re-posting.... I'll save that for his Graduation Ceremony.
We then went to a candlelight evening at Sam Houston Park where I was totally impressed with how he was so well behaved when we toured the grounds, a couple of pioneer homes and sat through an abbreviated church service with carols. (I didn't sing - just in case he started howling...)

He had been such a good boy, it gave me the confidence take him to Bayou Bend's Christmas celebration, where we toured the historic home, sipped mulled cider and munched on baked goodies. He was such a good little guy - except - he did have some troubles keeping to the program when there were errant scraps of food to be had. (His stomach is his downfall - as it is for all goldens! I would question the validity of his Lifetime Membership in the Golden Retriever Club if his stomach didn't get him into trouble.)
Bucky also got into the spirit of giving to others less fortunate when he volunteered for Christmas present wrapping at Covenant House. I would describe his wrapping abilities as "he was all thumbs".... BUT.....
After all was said and done, he was rewarded with Christmas presents himself.
