Sol and Ruby at Christmas 16

The hedgehogs were trying to get Meep and Munch to kiss and make up under the mistletoe. At least that's what they said they were doing...it turned into a staring contest. Harriet took loads of photos.

Munch was surprised and not very pleased to see Meep and the four hedgehogs when he opened the door. He cheered up a bit when he saw the size of Meep's Santa sack...

Munch and Nerys were put on cleaning duty. They were not exactly naturals at it, but they did their best as they were sorry to see Ruby so upset.

Sol was at his wits end, so he called Stripey, perhaps she could help to console her mother. In the end it was decided that she would send Meep and the Hedgehogs over early, to help get things organised. The hedgehogs were awake anyway as they were far too excited about Christmas to keep hibernating.

Oh dear, when Sol did get up he found Ruby terribly upset about the broken tree. He made her a nice cup of tea, and promised to clean everything up so they could start again. The cats hid under the chair, they were in trouble now...

Ruby came downstairs early to see what her tree looked like in daylight...this is what she found. There was a shriek and the rapid pounding of cat paws running out into the garden. Sol heard all this, but he was nice and cosy in bed and just about to go back to sleep...

The power went out ! Sol had all the tree lights charged on solar panels so the tree still shone out, and with the street lights not working they could see sparkling stars in the sky. It was very magical. They went to bed quite happy that night.
