Resolutions

Wilson has spent a long time this morning scrutinising the New Year's Honours List, to see whether his OBE had been formalised. It hadn't. 
Undismayed, W has drawn up his list of New Year's Resolutions and stuck them to the fridge door. It looks like being a busy year ahead!

Preparing for 2012

Getting ready for New Year's Eve tomorrow, Wilson has baked some delicious-looking gingerbread men. Well, they're more gingerbread-anteaters, really! 
W tells me that as a special concession to me, he has reluctantly prepared them without ants - but that I shouldn't get used to it as in Mexican Astrology 2012 is the Year of the Ant. Allegedly. 
I Googled this, and can't find anything about it other than a YouTube video explaining that, if the world was a fairer place, this would be the Chinese year of the Ant. But it isn't.

Mmmm... they look delicious!

Wilson's inseparable companions

Whatever he does, wherever he goes Wilson refuses to be parted from his plush toy anteater and his dressing gown. Looking at this picture, I wish now that I'd bought him some slippers too.
His toy anteater he has named, ironically, Antony! I don't think the dressing gown has a name… but of course, that could change!

Aftermath

We spend the days following Xmas watching tv - mostly re-runs of Frasier and the dreadful Jeremy Kyle Show - while eating and drinking too much. 

Wilson has made some special 'Xmas Chocolate-covered Ants' with extra-thick chocolate, and also some Mince-and-Ant Pies. They're not as bad as they sound. Not quite.

Boxing Day and beyond...

Wilson is very snug in his Xmas Dressing Gown  :o) 
He also received a micro-scooter, a cuddly anteater and a Dymo labelling machine, and seemed very pleased with everything.

Xmas morning at last :oD

Wilson opening his presents on Xmas morning… more pictures to follow when I'm properly awake  (bit of an ant-wine-hangover problem)
