ROSIE:
I really traveled a lot in 2009 and hope to do more this new year. I know we are going back to Florida, Alabama, and Ohio. I’m packed and waiting.

RICK:
Rosie has skipped over the holidays. We went to my Dad’s for Christmas and spent a few days with the family. We had a great time visiting. Except…

ROSIE:
O.K. I’ll tell the story. We went out Christmas Eve night to look at Christmas light displays. (I slept on Mom’ shoulder) Dad took us to a place where you drive through the displays. They collect money for charity and Santa gives you a candy cane. I woke up when we turned in the place and Mom put me in the back seat (she said so she could see). Dad stopped the car, put the window down, reached out to this man walking to my car, and the man touched my Dad’s hand. Well, I couldn’t let him get away with that. You do not touch my Dad or Mom when I am in the car. I barked and growled a warning and when he got closed enough my teeth sort of snapped, violently. Mom pulled me back before I got him but I tried real hard to protect my Dad from that man in the red suit.

RICK:
Yes, Rosie tried to rip apart Santa. They may not let us in next year.
