Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for December 06, 2023

Get some popcorn. Looks like there’s going to be quite a fight to get to it.

Ummmm,maybe, just maybe, the birds are the only ones who’ll eat your figgy pudding…..aaaaacckk!

I got one fig off my small plant this year…I was shopping for figs yesterday. They are seemingly impossible to find, so today, I’ll look online.

Rum soaked figs? Figgy Flambe? Potent Pudding? With ice cream, please.

Is it made with bacon? Then it would be a piggy pudding.

I just texted someone yesterday about figgy brandy pudding. You’ll need a Bic lighter.

Now I got that song in my head.

We won’t go until we get some! :)

Orange you glad you shared it with them?

“Not enough suet,” say the birds. :)

Good tidings we bring

To you and your kin

Good tidings for Christmas

And a happy new year.

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy new year.

Now bring us a figgy pudding

Now bring us a figgy pudding

Now bring us a figgy pudding

And bring some out here.

I’ve heard of figgy pudding, of course. But—what the heck is it? And why do I suddenly want some?

That’s where I’d put figgy pudding, too – outside for the birds! ;)
