… and all through the house…
everybody was extremely hyper – I don't suppose anyone will get any worthwhile sleep tonight.
I'm sure it wasn't like this in the famous poem, but young anteaters are notoriously more excitable than children…
Even Uncle Zoltan has been heard inquiring, 'Has Father Xmas* been yet?' a few times.
However, the Vegetarian Mince Pies, Carrots and Ant Gin have been laid out by the hearth, and as everybody grows increasingly tired, there is finally some talk of going to bed – soon, but not yet!
I shall be taking a break from the Blog for a few days, so Wilson, Byron and I would like to wish you all a Very Happy Xmas from everyone here!
We'll see you again very soon – not least because I know everybody will want to show you their presents!

Wilson and Byron have now completed all their preparations for Xmas and are waiting impatiently in the dining room for it to be Xmas Eve, using cocktails to help them pass the time.
Byron keeps asking when it will be HIS turn to wear the Mistletoe deely-boppers.
Wilson has agreed to let him have a go with them, once he has successfully kissed someone himself, 'Just to make sure the mistletoe is working properly'…
Found this Fridge Magnet this morning – Wilson must have been Midnight Snacking…
Every family has its own Xmas Traditions – one of ours is for Wilson to make a Xmas Card to send to all his friends, and he's just completed this year's.
It's a logistical nightmare, much harder than you might think – just getting everyone together at the same time is an achievement in itself, then you have to keep everyone still, stop the younger children fighting and messing about, ensure that everybody has their eyes open when the shutter clicks, it's a major operation – it's just a good thing we only have to do it once a year!
