Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

 

 

💖Dear Readers,💖

 

 

welcome back to Riverside!

 

This evening we are celebrating Christmas and New Year's Eve all in one.

Several hours ago, Fudge entered his little cottage in the forest with a large bag. A very large bag. It was filled to the brim with apples, oranges, nuts and cookies.

 

"Look, Pickles," Fudge said to his best friend, the little dragon, that was following him. "Santa was in a great hurry tonight, so he left our gifts at the front door!"

 

 

Fudge sat down at the table to drink some spiced wine. Pickles had a look and a delighted sniff at the bag of presents.

All of a sudden there was a knock on the door and somebody white with a santa hat walked through the door and into Fudges' arms.

 

Fudge shared a warm hug with his good friend, the snowman.

The snowman sat on the chair Fudge offered him and said, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

 

Fudge pushed a plate across the table and proudly said, "We are having homemade cookies and cupcakes... and cake for dessert."

Fudge took another sip from his mug and smiled happily at the thought of tasting his homemade chocolate and cinnamon cake.

Together they drank lots of mulled wine and ate the delicious cakes and cookies that Fudge had prepared for the occasion. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
