MY HOLIDAY ALBUM, by June

I don't have thumbs.  You already know that.  So I can't always do a "look back" at photos on mine Mommy's laptop, typing is kinda hard for me.  But I like to look back (it's called the Friday Flashback around the Cat Blogosphere) at Christmases Past, so she made a Holiday Album with pictures from my three Christmas years at Zoolatry and I can paw through it anytime.  Today I'm sharing my first year, 2020.  And if you happen to stop by on the next couple Fridays, I will share the other years ... 

I was just newly adopted before Christmas 2020.  I was 7 months old.
And you maybe remember there was this big thing called the pandemic going on.

Mine Mommy was new in her little apartment, new in her new city, and

I was new to her and she was new to me.  Lots of newness!

We didn't know other peoples and if we went out (not much) we had to cover our faces, 

so I had a special "coverer" for mine, it tickled my whiskers!

  

I didn't visit Santa, she said he stayed up at the North Pole that year, 

so she made a little picture to show me what it would look like if I sat on his lap!

AND ~ I really wasn't yet "the polka dot kitty", so I wore her stripey Santa hat.

There is a special ornament for the tree for 2020, but I think,

being a playful kitten, I broked it, so it is no more.

Coming back for a moment to the present day, 

for any who saw our post yesterday, Lighting the Monument ~ 

it was an event last evening, every bit as spectacular as promised, and more!

Great live clap-your-hands, jump and shout music from local bands,

inspirational holiday music from nearby churches, 

and rousing Gospel songs from university choirs.

A monument lighting with a laser light show and fireworks

ending the evening ~ not from a distance, but ~

lean back, tip your head, look up,

it was as if rising right from out of the waiting crowds!
