The joy of Christmas and it's traditions
Dansk version:
Julen er nu officielt gået i gang. Denne dag var nemlig 1. Advent. Vi mennesker afholdt den første adventsdag ved at pynte lidt op med julepynt og sidde og hygge sammen med kaninerne.
Der blev hængt en fin hvid lyskæde op rundt langs løbegårdens kant, og det hjalp virkelig på julestemningen. Nogle andre små dekorative detaljer pyntede også i kaninernes hjem.
Det var nu blevet tid til den del, hvor de får gaver. Sandy startede med at pakke hendes gave op. Hun snuste og kravlede dernæst helt op på pakken for bedre at kunne gennemskue, hvad gaven mon indeholdt, men det lykkedes ikke helt, og så måtte hun jo flå resten af papiret af dog med lidt menneskelig hjælp denne gang. Ud af pakken kom en pakke med små kiks med æblesmag. De var sprøde og knasende, og Sandy kunne ikke vente med at få fat i dem. Efter Sandy havde fået én, fik Molly også lov til at smage, og de løb nu afsted med hver deres æblekiks i munden. De spænede rundt med dem i munden, for at finde et sikkert sted af spise dem, så de ikke blev jaget rundt af hinanden, men de havde bare ikke indset at de begge havde fået, så der var ikke nogen uretfærdigheder, men de begge løb i skjul hver for sig alligevel. Da de var færdige med at spise den lille kiks, var det Molly's tur til at få en gave. Molly kom farende over til adventsgave, hvorefter hun stirrede intenst på den, og derefter satte hun sin snude ned til indpakningspapiret og den blev nu kørt ivrigt rundt, for at opfange selv de mindste dufte, der kunne fortælle hende, hvad der mon var i pakken. Da den blev pakket op nærmest overfaldt hun de indpakkede mælkebøtterødder, som hun havde fået. Hun puffede til den og skubbede den omkuld. Den blev åbnet, og da hun fik en rod spænede hun væk med den i en fart. Hun skjule sig og begyndte så at tygge i sin rod. Sandy kom nysgerrig listende, og da hun indså, hvad det var kom hun farende i fuld fart. Hun snuppede den rod, der blev rakt til hende, og også hun løb hurtigt afsted med den i munden. De sad nu for en tid og gnaskede i rødderne. Da de var færdige kom de skiftevis igen, for at få en ny omgang rødder. Det fik de så. Den tredje og sidste omgang fik de en lidt større rod, så de kunne få slidt deres tænder lidt ved at gnave ordenligt i roden. De fik altså to små og en stor rod hver. De virkede til at være yderst tilfredse. Molly kom springende og var glad og tilfreds. Sandy blev lidt træt, og satte sig stille og roligt hen i en hule for at snuppe sig en lur. Det er også meget energikrævende at pakke gaver op og holde advent, så det er fuldt forståeligt. Det er ikke hver dag at det sker, og der sker ofte mange forskellige ting på sådan en dag. De fortjente begge at få lidt hviletid, hvilket de også fik lidt tid efterfølgende.
Engelsk version:
Christmas has now officially started. This day was 1st Advent. We humans celebrated the first day of Advent by decorating a little with Christmas decorations and having fun with the bunnies.
A nice white chain of lights was hung up around the edge of the running yard, and it really helped the Christmas spirit. Some other small decorative details also decorated the rabbits' home.
It was now time for the part where they get presents. Sandy started by unwrapping her present. She then sniffed and scribbled all the way up the package to better see what the gift might contain, but she didn't quite succeed, and then she had to tear off the rest of the paper, although it was with a little help from the human this time. Out of the gift came small apple flavored biscuits. They were crispy and crunchy and Sandy couldn't wait to get them. After Sandy had had one, Molly was also allowed to taste, and they now ran off with each apple biscuit in their mouth. They scrambled around with them in their mouths to find a safe place to eat them so they wouldn't be chased around by each other, but they just hadn't realized they'd both had them, so there were no injustices, but they both ran in hiding each one anyway. When they finished eating the little biscuit, it was Molly's turn to get a present. Molly came running over to the present, after which she stared intently at it, and then she put her nose down to the wrapping paper and it was now sniffing around eagerly, to pick up even the slightest scents that might tell her what might be in the gift. When it was unwrapped she almost attacked the wrapped dandelion roots that she had been given. She pushed it over. It was opened, and when she got a root she hurried away with it. She hid and then started chewing on her root. Sandy hopped curiously around, and when she realized what it was she came running at full speed. She grabbed the root that was handed to her and she too quickly ran off with it in her mouth. They now sat for a while gnawing at the roots. When they were done, they came back alternately to get a new round of roots. So they got that. The third and last round they got a slightly bigger root, so they could use their teeth a bit by gnawing properly at the root. So they got two small and one big root each. They seemed to be extremely pleased. Molly came running and was happy. Sandy got a little tired, and quietly took a nap. It also takes a lot of energy to unwrap presents and celebrate Advent, so that is completely understandable. It is not every day that this happens, and many different things often happen on such a day. They both deserved to get some rest time, which they also got some time afterwards.
