It’s Almost Christmas! – Raising Grampy

Hello Peoples! It’s me, Carson.

Grampy says there are only 4 more days until Christmas! I have no idea what that means but he seems pretty excited!


I went Christmas shopping with Mommy and Grampy the other day. Grampy said he needed one or two more things for Grammy. He liked these Christmas socks. Oh, was I not supposed to say that?


I even helped Mommy with some wrapping. Grampy said I did a better job than he does and I didn’t even have any tape.

I also made a trip to Home Depot with Daddy. Mommy says it was probably the first of many.


Grampy asked me if I got a bucket. He said everybody needs a 5-gallon bucket and he said he could carry me around in it.

I keep helping Grampy on days when I’m over at their house.


Grampy wanted coffee the other day so I got the K-cup thingy.

Then it was time to cook. My job was to hold this stuff.


Grampy texted my mommy to tell her I was staying well hydrated.


I don’t know what that means either.

Grampy says it’s his job to introduce me to the classics.


Grammy and I watched the show about Santa Claus.

I don’t really know who Santa is but I guess he wears a red suit, rides in a sleigh flying reindeer and on Christmas Eve he comes to the house and leaves presents. So a perfect stranger flies through the skies with these reindeer things, then comes into our house in the middle of the night. And this is a good thing. Got it! 

We took Grammy and Grampy with us one night to see some Christmas Lights at a farm.

It was cold that night so I wore my bear suit again. The lights were beautiful!


Even when I could only see out of one eye. Silly bear hat!

The rest of my week was pretty busy. 

I have so many neat toys and Grampy says there are more coming for Christmas!


Until then I just play with my mommy, daddy, Gigi, Grammy and my silly Grampy!

I hope you have a great Christmas! I can’t wait to see what that really is!
