A LETTER FROM THE NORTH POLE (By Way Of Iva, South Carolina)

"Two-Two, do you think we should be writing a thank you letter?"

"Meow.  Yes, we should, Mommy Marg!"

Dear Deer Friends ~

I'm here at the North South Pole right now, keeping busy, working the work every day.  Doing wheelies in my wheel-chair!  Walking the walk with my jingle-bell walker and rather making merry with all the elves!  I even hung a few reindeer on the big tree out in the lobby (and then stole a chocolate from the visitor's candy dish!) I noticed the front door and considered planning my escape to home, but realized it was a long way in a wheely chair. They're thinking of naming me "Mischievous Marg", meow!

Two-Two came to visit, how sweet of her ... and my neighbors have been so good ... Ann, now the carer for Joe and Smoke (remember the donks) is here visiting often, Layton down the road a-piece helps to feed all the kitties back at home ... and others back home keep watch over the back-forty and the fields, and the house but ... oh my, how I am missing my kitties!  Don't get me started on that ...

Mom ~ you are digressing, sort of rambling, we were going to write a thank you letter, right? Meow!

Oh, Two-Two you do keep me on the straight and narrow!  Are you this bossy to all the other kits back home?  But you're right ... let's get on with it, the impawtent stuff ...

Where do I begin.  Well, the elves here are taking good care of me.  Even when I'm a bit of a grinch, which is only when I get to wanting to go home really bad.  I usually keep any grinchiness to myself tho!  

If you were to visit me, you'd come into a room with more wonderful cards and Christmas Cards than anybody in the whole wide world ever got.  Really!  I am the most lucky woman, and thank you to all of you! 

And so many stuffies, my bed is covered in stuffies, I love each and every one of them. They are such good company and we cuddle together day and night. Don't tell but we also have deep and serious conversations together, most of them have some very interesting things to say!  And I say thank you for all my stuffie friends!  

If you've ever been un-lucky enough to be in a hospital, you know they are c-c-cold places, but I am lucky to have been gifted some extra warmth blankies, thank you so much!  

Hospital food?  Need I say more ... well, receiving treats and snax and candies and fruit from you has made my day, many days actually!  Thank you.

How I wish I could send a purr-sonal thanks to each one of you, but that is not to be.  But know that in my heart I love you for all you have done for me, for thinking of me and making my life here so much better.  I am truly working hard at what needs to be done so I can return home, to my life and the kitties I love dearly.  Please keep me in your prayers, today and in the days to come.  I wish each and every one a Merry Christmas and a New Year with good health and much happiness.

With love and thanks,

MARG
