Frodo gave them a fiendish grin. "I'm going to put the kettle on - "

"You'll look daft."

"You don't know that. I may well look very stylish wearing a kettle! As I was saying, I shall put the kettle on.



LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah Yes! The reworkings of an old joke are the best!

A lovely bright little ficlet!

Perfect Yule fluff! *happy sigh*
It is so good to see Frodo so happy and carefree, conspiring with the children. No wonder they adore their Uncle Frodo so much! And Sam and Rose may grumble about having to go up so soon, but they are obviously happy to know how much Frodo has changed since his illness. It's wonderful to see this large, happy family together.

Author Reply: Yes, I should have issued a fluff warning! I just love visiting the Bag End family and I hope others do too.

Adorable! I love Frodo acting just like the kids--I bet sometimes Sam and Rose think he is one!

Sooo--is the "bump" little Goldilocks?

Author Reply: Ah, Yule is one of those times when you just have to find your 'inner faunt' I suspect! - or at least the 'inner tween.' :-) Isn't it lovely to see Frodo acting like this?

Yes, the 'bump' is Goldilocks.

Quick on the uptake, he is! And it is good to see him again rejoicing in life, surrounded by the love of his second family.

Author Reply: I had such fun imagining Frodo enjoying himself on First Yule.

Aw! That's what Frodo always wanted, Bag End filled with happy children. And he's in the middle of it all!

I think he would even look good if he put on an old sack ;-)

Author Reply: Yes, Frodo has his family now. He is also having a second bite at childhood in seeing it through their eyes.

I'm sure Frodo could wear anything with panache and look good.

Groan! *Snuggles back under duvet and wields fluf-buster at BB and lap-top* Lovely BB but it is too early to remind me I've got to go to work!

Author Reply: *dodges fluff-buster* Glad you enjoyed it!

Ohh, what a joyful morning! I can't imagine a happier, more thankful, loving family than this one.

Rufus and Sooty and Frodo enjoying their antics! I can never get enough of that, with or without a kettle. :D

Author Reply: You win first prize yet again - one of Rose Gamgee's famous fruit cakes and a bottle of Old Winyards are yours!

I do so enjoy giving Frodo the happy, loving family life he was denied.

Nothing like watching cats being silly! I am always laughing at mine.
