Raena, calm down. We need to take a few minutes and write our posty. We’re almost a whole 2 days late. We are so blest and yesfurday was a huge reminder of just how much.
Oh sissy, I’s luvs Christmas. When will we have it again?
Me too Raena. But me does think you were just a little overly excited. Christmas only comes ‘round once a year and me thinks you need a year to calm down Raena. But you know what? Our furiends are here everyday.
And all those extra cuddles we got from mommy? Can we have those everyday too?
Yep Raena, all ya’ gotta do is be available. You know mommy looks fur any chance to scoop us up and hold us tight.
Mines favorite pawrt of yesfurday was hearin’ mommy laff and seein’ her smile.

Me too Raena, me too. She cried a lot of happy tears, but she also giggled at us. She said seein’ us so happy and havin’ so much fun, makes her happy. We wanna say a meowsy big Fank you to all da Angels dat sent us purresents.
Mommy was so overwhelmed with joy she furgot to send emails and ask ifin we could use names fur our fank yous (a few peeps had notified us early they didn’t want their names listed with their gifts). So, we’ve decided to show you everythin’ we got without listin’ ‘zactly who it’s from, and then usin’ furst names fur our fank yous. We did get a gift card via email yesfurday dat specified no name be mentioned. You know who you are, and we fank you very much. But dat reminded mommy ’bout da name listin’, so we hope you enjoy seein’ our goodies. We know we fur sure purreciate everything. Mommy even likes da cutesy gift wrap bags from amazon; almost as much as we liked da boxes. MOL

Is dat a haul or what? We, and dat includes mommy, cuz she got purresents too, wanna say Fanky Fank you to awnties Anonymous, our Cat Scout Angels, awnty Belinda, awnty Vonda, uncle Pete, Timmy Tomcat and furmily, uncle Bill, awnty Jean, Shoko and Kali, awnty Pat, Felix and Maggie, awnty Lisa, Cat and Nugget, uncle Jim, awnty Holly, Tiger, Dora, Trouble and Spooky.
What a day we had. And mommy warmed up dat smoked turkey we got, made some cheater mac and cheese, cheater taters with bacon (from da last grocery box mommy got), dinner rolls and made a cake. We didn’t get any cake, but da turkey tom lurkey and bacon taters were delishus. And did ya’ll see dat aero garden mommy got? She’s gonna be eatin’ salads in no time. You shoulda seen da tears of joy when she opened dat. Fur those of ya’ dat’s been followin’ us from way back when, you’ll know dat mommys’ days of outside gardenin’ is over. But, she never got any of da lettuce she planted back then cuz da rabbits always helped themselves to it furst. Mommy’s gonna be sharin’ those gift cards with us, and who knows, she might even plant us a little somethin’ somethin’ in dat new garden.
Hey, Raena!!! Dat’s mes Yeowww cigar, go play with your own.
Oh sissy, they’re both da same.
No, yours is already full of teeth marks.
(Raena snickers)
Dat’s okay, we got purrlenty of pawsum toys. Me will play with somethin’ else. Anyways, as you’ve all noticed, we did take yesfurday off to spend time together as a family. We rarely miss and don’t like to miss Blest Sundays, but mommy was in so much awe she couldn’t help us write anythin’. We got behind last week cuz mommy had so many fotos to edit, and she took over a hunnerd new ones yesfurday. So we’ll be takin’ a day or so to try and get all those fotos loaded up on da catputer. Mommy tried to figger out how to use da wifi on da camera to just upload automatically, but alas, she doesn’t understand da directions we guess, cuz they ain’t loadin’. MOL Dat’s okay, at least she knows how to put da card in da catputer and transfur them dat way. We’ll be ‘round to visit as soon as we can, but we purrobably won’t post again till Furiday. But trust me, it’ll be worth da wait. Mommy got some “great” fotos durin’ all da excitement, some dat even she didn’t realize at da time.
Hey sissy, don’t furget, we need to tell everypawdy our Christmas article is up over at da Daily Mews. There’s a lot of great articles besides ours fur cat luvvers to read and even a few contests.
