The Christmas Spirit has arrived... it's magic, just like Santa and the Elves, and Rudolph, and twinkling lights, red and green and evergreen. Glimmering candles and mistletoe. Bright boxes with ribbons, and sparkling ornaments and tinsel. No soft falling snow, this is Florida after all... but poinsettia and amaryllis and bowls of candy. Toys hidden away. Stockings stuffed to the top. Wreaths and sweet cinammon smells. For some unknown reason, it must be magic... the Zoolatry Human pulled her head from the beach sand (see the picture is gone...) and the Christmas spirit came forth. She remembered two little precious grandbeans for whom this is a special time... and of course, she has been chastised daily, if not hourly, by the two kitties who live at Zoolatry... not to mention the gentleman in the family, our CocoaBean. So yesterday afternoon out came the boxes, tissue tossed here and there, and bubble wrap to pounce upon... and the mantel got covered, and the stockings got hung, and the wreaths went up, and the candles and candies were set out ... last of all, a little tree (not a big one)... up high where perhaps, some angel will watch over it so the kitties don't bring it down... and the house on Range Road is having Christmas after all! Go away Grinch, so long Scrooge... Christmas Present is here. Bah Humbug? No way!

Thanks +++++ for the "welcome home" pic. It's up on my blog. Do come by because I have some little presents for you.
ReplyDeleteGood to have SS back! It means I can have early breakfast. SS's sister was very annoyed that I woke her up at 5 am every morning for a feed. Wonder why? Doesn't everybody get hungry at that hour?
That looks like some lovely Christmas spirit. You know, I might be the only grinch left...
ReplyDeleteHooray! I knew it could happen! Now be good kitties and leave the tree alone. --->I should take my own advice!
ReplyDeleteHooray!!! Yoo won Maggy and Zoey. Yoo got Christmas after all. Just try to leave the tree alone. We have stopped pulling ours over now.
