***

Connor looked around James Lester's flat, assessing the damage with horror;

Two Wedgewood snowflake decorations, £49.90
Four reindeer and sleigh baubles, £99.80
Harrods Luxe Lodge crackers, £499.99
Bespoke holly and ivy garland, £35.30

“Sid! Nancy!” he called, at first wheedling, then desperate.

He heard the click of a lock. It was too late to run.

There was rustling, and an enthusiastic crunch, munch, coming from the pride of Lester's Christmas display, yet Connor couldn't prevent his dorky, affectionate grin;

Two naughty Diictodons in the tree, illuminated by a sparkling tangle of colourful Christmas lights: Priceless.

“Connor!”

Oops. Connor will be in so much trouble ;)

[anniespinkhouse.livejournal.com]

He is, but I'm sure he'll manage to worm out of it somehow, or maybe an anomaly alert will save him. Thanks.

Oh, dear, poor Connor!
He is going to be in some trouble.
But the mental picture it inspires is terrific.

Eee. That was what I was hoping for. Thank you.

Oh dear, that's not going to go down well!

Cute imagery :)

I may have watched one too many cat in Christmas tree videos and then re-imagined it with little dinosaurs.
Thank you.
