I am really worried about Christmas this year!  You see, that CAT my family adopted just before Christmas last year, the one they named, Holli.  She is so bad!  Mom and Dad put up the Christmas tree and this cat climbed all over it.  Mom hung a string of bells by the trunk to hopefully deter her from climbing but it didn't help.  At least now Mom can hear when she is climbing up the tree.  Mom had planned to decorate the tree with her collection of Hallmark ornaments, until Holli climbed the tree, after that Mom put on the unbreakable balls. Holli has knocked alot of them off and she bats at them when she sees them hang on the tree.  Oh, did you know Holli knocked down a shepherd from the nativity set?   Broke the poor guys legs, mom glued him back together. He can't walk at all anymore, but he has no problems standing all the time.  Because of this, mom packed that nativity set back in the attic and took out the plastic set so the cat wouldn't insure another nativity person.   She was afraid she might find Baby Jesus somewhere on the floor!  You never know with this cat! 

Penny and I are glad the snow has melted. The morning and other visits outside to do our "jobs" out there was so challenging. You'd fall through the snow or slide on the ice.  Not a fun experience especially when it's early in the morning and you really aren't 100% awake yet.   Night isn't fun either cause being tired and trying to make your way on that stuff just wasn't cool!  So, for now the ground is just cold, so we do our "jobs" and get the heck back in the warm house under the covers!  

I hope Santa Paws still stops at our house despite the fact that the one cat is SO BAD!   I'm sure she'll get coal while we get treats, but hey, that's the way it goes.  If you are bad, you don't get fun things!  

Merry Christmas to everyone and have an awesome New Year!  I hope it's a new year without snow!   

Love, 
Leonard
