I have the fondest memories of my dear old Bassett (Alfred) given by my wife as a gift when a puppy. he travelled Australia with us and lived a joyful 16 years.My favourite memory was Christmas 1970 and we had arrived in Perth on November 18th after emigrating from Ireland. Mam, Dad and 6 children, myself being the youngest. That Christmas my precious parents gave me a Bassett Hounds puppy who we named Dara. We were waiting for all our furniture etc to arrive so we didn't have much with us. We were used to a cold Christmas but Perth was hot
However that puppy dog
made us forget everything and brought not just me but all of us so much joy and happiness. When we were sad missing our family and friends in Ireland we just cuddled Dara and everything was so much better and brighter.
That's really nice. Dogs are very affectionate and loving. They are very loyal as well. Hope you have good memories to keep you going. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

i before e except after cI have wonderful memories of Christmas as a child. But this one is special . In 1972 l married my Navy hubby 2 weeks later we were posted to Manus Island PNG. It was a completely different culture. But l loved it l was 19. 200 Australian junior sailors on year posting and 25 officers accompanied. No shops, a ship every 4 months with food. A juniors mess and Officers mess. As Christmas approached l wondered what we'd do. I started to miss home. But l found out a lot of these junior guys were married and had wife and kids back home. So l opened my home and yard to these guys . Told my hubby he was John for the day , Not Cheif Petty Officer Green. We had 50 people , some other couples without kids joined in. We pooled our food. Seafood here was in abundance. Anyway we ate and drank and all told stories of our greatest Christmases and wonderful memories.
No one was lonely, we had the best time. It stands out as the most memorable Christmas for me.
