Peter was glad Piggy was coming.

Piggy would keep him warm while sleeping on Grandmother's porch.

Why hadn't he worn long trousers?

Poor Peter! And what a Grandma -- but I hope they had a good trip over the river and through the woods anyhow, and cocoa when they got there.

My pig's fate wasn't so nice as this LOL

Maybe Peter was too excited about getting to Grandma's House and didn't notice. Wonder what Grandma is going to cook up?

I was wondering the same thing unless those are long johns instead of white legs. :)

I wondered that myself Jim.
Very cold without pants.
Very cute.
Have a wonderful Holiday!

I think it's more like Peter will keep Piggy warm---greater mass.

I lived in Ireland one year with a family that had 3 kids. Little boys did not wear long trousers till they were about 14 or 15, even on the coldest days!

You know, you're right! Why is he the only one? LOL!

@RinklyRimes: A very simple answer. Peter is wearing English half-chaps (for children.) Notice how they strap over the pant legs and shoe.

@SusanFobes He's not the only one. Notice the little boy carrying the pine boughs is wearing red half-chaps.

LOL! Sweet piggy and poor Peter. I hadn't noticed his lack of long trousers. Maybe his stockings are thick. :O)

I wasn't quite sure what Peter had on his legs, but I now know it wasn't trousers! Yikes!

Yup those cotton leggings don't help much
Thanks-

Haha, Jim--I wondered the same thing--why hadn't that dear boy worn long pants? And maybe even long-johns? Silly, silly boy.
Have a great Holiday Season. Cheers!
