December 1

Mom put up the tree today. I love to sleep in the snow. Well, the fake snow. It’s so much warmer! Mom uses my favorite burgundy comforter under the snow, which is actually white linen table cloths.  It makes for the most perfect cat bed. Aren’t I cute?

So far, so good. I’ve been deleting my browsing history, so I don’t think Mom is on to me about what I’m going to get her for Christmas.  I think I know more about shredders than I wanted to! This one is good for this, that one is good for that, you can even shred credit cards and CDs, though I don’t know why you’d want to shred a credit card.  Makes the account number hard to read when your cat needs it for Internet purchases. Oh, that’s probably why some people need to shred them.  Their pets don’t know how to exercise restraint. But isn’t that why they make leashes for dogs? Well, on to my research. . .

The shredder might not be the most glamorous of presents, but she sure needs it. The old one ground out its last a week ago, and I know how antsy Mom will get when it comes time to shred stuff at the end of the year. And it will sure beat her asking me to do it.  I shred furniture well, but it might ruin my manicure to have to do bills and stuff.

Okay, so now what to get for my cozzies Fancy and Buff.  I’m thinking new collars and some food and some toys. Gotta keep those guys happy at Aunt Barb’s.  Don’t want her to bring them up here and drop them off for a time out.  Fancy makes me so nervous, and Buff now weighs more than me.  Maybe he wont after he has some of the food I got for him. I hope.  Well, a guy can try, can’t he?

They day is drawing nearer.  The time when I expect to get those new foam balls. And I get to see how my shredder is received.

December 24

Aunt Barb came up this afternoon and they opened the prezzies. Mom loved the shredder.  But I was upstaged.  Fancy and Buff got Mom a Disney 75th Anniversary Mickey Mouse watch with Affinity diamonds around the face and a sapphire on the stem. Drat those felines.  Except I can’t get mad because Mom really liked it and she also really liked the shredder.  All you can do with a watch is wear it, but a shredder . . .  you can use and use and use and . . . well, until you burn it up like the last one and the one before it and the one before it and the one before it . . . maybe we should invest in the industrial strength one.

‘Tis the last day of the year. Made your resolutions yet? I have.  I resolved not to make resolutions any more!  You make them, and you break them, and you feel guilty because you didn’t achieve them, and then you go through the whole process again the next year. How much simpler if you just don’t make them!

Check back now and then. I'll keep you posted on the latest developments! Hope to see you soon.
