When I got up this morning I wondered what I would do all day long now that the excitement and fun, the sparkle and shine of Christmas was all over. And it was just another ordinary day. I had my breakfast, I of course used the litter loo room (probably didn't need to share that, sorry) and even though still dark outside, did do my obligatory check of early morning activity on Charles Street ~ not much I admit.
So, I asked mine Mommy if we were going to take down all the holiday decorations since Christmas was over, she said "oh noes, that doesn't happen until Little Christmas comes on January 6," and of course I got all excited thinking more treats and toys were on the way very soon, until she told me the story of Little Christmas and I realized that wouldn't really happen ... meowz, but I did like the story. And she added that today was Boxing Day so maybe that's how I could spend today, knowing how much I loved boxes, but now I could play with ones that were even purrty and colorful and still had some wrapping and bows and meowz ... so, meowz again ... I had my To Do List Done!
Isn't this the most wonderful box?
I think I'll spend the whole day in it.
Then I asked mine Mommy what was on her To Do List for the Day After Christmas and she said, "a few chores, Juney," and I said what else, and she purred "one really big impawtent thing, you see yesterday I took you visiting to share Christmas wishes with your friends, but your Mommy's fingers got tired and her hands got shakey and so I had to keep stopping to rest. Of course, it was kinda sorta fun for us, right? Cause during those little breaks I'd eat a piece of chocolate and you'd get some dried salmon treats. So all day long we both had lots of treats, way more than on a regular day!" Oh my, meowz, yes that part was fun!
But mine Mommy, that's not good, cause I didn't get to visit everyfurry. "I know dear. So, today, we'll do some chores, like laundry (which no one cares about), and while it's washing we can take you visiting to those we missed yesterday. And then when we put it in the dryer, we can take you visiting again to others we missed ... and maybe by the time the laundry is done, you will have been able to visit all your friends even though it's the day after Christmas and hopefully they won't mind if you're a little bit late stopping by."
OK mine Mommy, that sounds good, now I'm going to get back in my box, let me know when you go put the laundry in and when it's time to start our visiting ... I'll be ready, meowz.
