Hey Raena, we need to hurry and eat our brekky, we’ve got lots to do today. (Dezi hears a noise in the distance and runs over to mommy’s chair to get a little reassurance. Raena runs to the perch and looks out the door and sees the lawn crew blowing leaves all over the place.) Hisssss What are they doin’ here?!! Can’t they see everything’s dead?
I’s reckon that’s purrobably why they’re here sissy. We need somepawdy to blow all those leaves off our porch. Mommy had to wade thru a huge pile last night so she could check our mail. They better get our leaves befur they pack up and go. (Raena sees the lawn crew packing up without blowing the leaves off the porch.)
That doesn’t make me like ‘em tho’ Raena. Anyways, tonight’s the night we head to the North Pole with the Cat Scouts to visit Santa. Let’s get our letters ready, okay?
Isn’t mime’s gingerbread girl outfit cute?
Okay sissy. I’s really glad you decided to let me come with ya’ll. This is gonna be so much fun. Why don’t we combine our letters. You can start while I’s go link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furiday.
Sounds good Raena.
Dear Santa,
It’s me, Deztinee. Hope your year’s been a good one. Me’s been a good girl…mostly. Me’s spent a lot of time reflectin’ on how Blest me is to have a luvvin’ furever mommy and home. Me even thinks Raena’s a blessing. Me so worries fur the kitties that don’t have the security me does. To know what it feels like to be so luvved that you can do no wrong. To never have to go to bed hungry or scared. To never have to worry ‘bout the weather or ifin somepawdy’s gonna hurt me. Me never has to wonder ‘bout what tomorrow may bring, me just knows that mommy will take care of me.
It seems no matter how much infurmation’s available or what peeps are told, they still think kitties can survive on their own outside. Me knows that a lot of those kitties will never fully trust humans again. But, fur those who can, could you purrlease find ‘em a furever home of their own? And fur the rest, maybe you could spare some supplies fur their caretakers. Me knows it sometimes seems like a fankless job, but fur sure those kitties they care fur are grateful, as are we.
And fur all those anipals waitin’ in shelters, could you send them furever mommies and daddies? Livin’ in a cage is no kind’a life, just ask Raena. We know there are some pawsum shelters out there, but there’s nuffin’ in the universe like havin’ your own luvvin’ family. And fur those shelters and rescue groups, could you purrlease give them lots of supplies and volunteers so they can help more anipals in the future.
Hey ya’ Santa, I’s RaenaBelle am here too. Mommy says I’s purrfect…most of the time. I’s won’t repeat what sissy meowed, but I’s would like all that too. And I’s know I’s meow fur both of us when I’s ask that you give our furiends everything they want. They’ve been such amazin’ furiends to us, they all deserve the world. We get so happy when we see our furiends happy.
I’s know things are a bit crazy ‘round here fur us, but sissy and me are so Blest to have our luvvin mommy that we don’t really need anythin’. I’s mean, sure there are things we’d like to have, but mommy makes sure we have purrlenty of food and cuddles that it would really be selfish to ask fur more.
Hey, ifin they make a don’t worry pill, maybe you could leave a couple fur mommy tho’. Ifin not, that’s okay, sissy and me have plans to give her lots of extra luvvin’ fur Christmas. And maybe you could leave a little somethin’ fur sissy. She really is a good sissyfur and I’s luvs her so much. She luvs scratchers and silvervine and nip toys. I’s mean, we’ll unnerstand ifin ya’ skip us tho’, we totally get the havin’ to pay fur the goodies you drop off.
Well Santa, Raena and me are gonna wrap it up fur this year. As she meowed, we have everythin’ a kitty could ever dream of. Well, our fountain did break a while back and we sure do miss it; ‘specially Raena. That girl does luv to play in the water. We saw a really cool one that would be purrfect fur both our needs. Maybe you could put in a word fur us fur next year. Ifin we got an allowance we’d save up and pay ya’ ourselves, but mommy said she’d work on it fur us. So, we’re all good. Take care of yourself, have a Blest Christmas.
Yours Truly,
Deztinee and RaenaBelle
Okay Raena, let’s put our letter in our back pack so we can give it to the big guy in purrson.
Okay sissy, fanky fank you fur lettin’ me tag along. Do you think we should take a gift fur Santa? Maybe we could share one of our nip nanners.
Great idea Raena. Let’s find one that hasn’t been luvved quite as much as the other. Me would like to meow somethin’ fur the kiddies out there right quick. Ifin ya’ don’t get everythin’ on your list, don’t get mad. Your pawrents have to pay real money fur the things Santa brings to you, and as much as they may want to give you everythin’, it’s not always pawssible. Christmas is in your heart. It’s your family and furiends. It’s the luv you feel.
You’re so right sissy. And, luvs is the greatest gift of all. I’s know we wish we could send each and every one of our furiends a gift to put unner their Christmas tree, it’s just not pawssible. So, to all of you, from mommy A, sis Dezi and me, we send you luvs and purrayers to keep in your heart.
Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s comin’ to ya’ live from the Three Belles Ranch. I’s can’t hardly believe it but Christmas is only days away. Can you believe it? Another year has come and gone. Last night we were lookin’ thru all the pawsum Christmas cards we’ve gotten so far and givin’ fanky fanks fur all our amazin’ furiends.
After you walked all over and sat on ‘em Raena. Me can’t believe you sat on our Christmas cards.
I’s readin’ the scent mail our furiends sent us sissy. You should
come check it out.
I’s was checkin’ ‘em out, sissy. I’s could smell our furiends. Ya’ know, when I’s was just a little kitty girl livin’ in that cage, I’s could never have ‘magined bein’ so luvved by so many. Every kitty dreams of bein’ luvved and wanted, and when mommy rescued me I’s thought mine’s life couldn’t get any better. I’s had a furever home with a luvvin’ mommy and I’s even got a sissy, but to be a pawrt of a world wide community of peeps and anipals who care so much fur each other, is beyond any kitty’s wildest dreams. And you all know I’s can dream up some purretty crazy things. MOL

Yep Raena, you sure can. But me’s always told you that we have the greatest most bestest furiends in the universe. On another matter, have you finished writin’ your letter to Santa? Ya’ know, we need to get those done or we’ll run outta time.
I’s workin’ on it sissy. Is your finished?
No, me’s wants to make sure me asks fur just the right things. We’re so furtunate to be Blest with a luvvin’ mommy who will never ever leave us, and all our furiends. Me feels kind’a bad askin’ fur things.
I’s know sissy, but I’s thought you were really hopin’ to get a new scratcher?
Yeah Raena, it would be nice, but me’s just as likely to hurl on a new one. Besides, ifin we don’t have a house to live in we wouldn’t have anywhere to put it.
Don’t worry sissy, mommy’s filin’ complaints and doin’ what she can to keep our ranch (apartment). Who knows, ifin we lost it, we just might furinally get some place better. Ya’ know, a kitty can dream right?
Now that would be nice Raena. Me would luv to live anywhere that we’re not constantly harassed and threatened. Too bad the big guy doesn’t bring houses. MOL
I’s think that might have somethin’ to do with mommy’s ability to pay sissy. ‘Member? You’re the one who told me that mommy’s and daddy’s have to pay fur the things Santa brings. Anyways, we still have a couple of days to get our letters finished. You’re still gonna let me go with you and the cat scouts to visit the North Pole, right?
Yeah Raena, several of me’s fellow scouts have meowed that you could tag along. But, you’re gonna have to be on your very bestest behavior.
I’s will, sissy, I’s will. Mommy even helped me find a cute little outfit to wear. I’s so x’cited. Fanky fank you. (Raena gets excited and starts walking towards Dezi)
Stay back, Raena. No need to be huggin’ on me all the time. Kittens!!! You can smother a kit with all your neediness.
I’s luvs you too sissy. Besides, mommy says she luvs it when I’s wanna be close all the time. She’s never said anythin’ ‘bout me bein’ smotherin’. And aren’t you the one that’s been complainin’ ‘bout not bein’ able to snuggle at night?
That’s different Raena. That’s the time fur snugglin’. You like to be all up in me’s business all the time. A kitty can never get a break.
I’s just luvs you soooooooo much sissy. I’s wanna be near you and mommy all the time. I’s don’t wanna miss nuffin’.
Well, me would like a nice little nap Raena. So, why don’t you go bug mommy fur a while. And get to work on your letter.
Okay sissy. Let me just remind everypawdy ‘bout linkin’ up with the Blessing Train. Fur instructions and to see all those already linked up, click here. I’s gotta go get started on mine’s letter. See ya’ll soon.
Till the next time………………………………………………………….Be Blest!!!
(Dezi sits and watches the lights blink on and off on the Christmas tree and turns to mommy and meows) Mommy, how many days are left befur Christmas?
6 Days, baby, 6 days.
Me can’t wait. Me just luvs Christmas. And me luvs lookin’ at all da Christmas cards we’ve been getting.
Me too sweety.
I’s luvs Christmas too, mommy.
I’m glad you like Christmas Raena. What’s been your favorite thing so far?
Da lights. I’s really like nommin’ da lights.
You’re not s‘posed to nom da lights Raena, you’re only s‘posed to look at ‘em. Dat doesn’t even count as a Christmas activity. (Dezi acts perturbed.)
Mommy says I’s can pick anythin’ I’s want sissy. (Raena sits back and thinks a bit) I’s know!!! We won a Christmas Stockin’ from our furiends Zorro and Pixie from da Swiss Cats, and you said it could be allllll mines. I’s luvs it. And it’s soooooo cool; mines stocking came all da way from Switzerland.
Do you even know where Switzerland is Raena?
(Raena shuffles her paws) Well, no, sissy. But I’s do know it’s really far away. Awnty Claire sent it speedy ship or else it never woulda got here befur Christmas. Oh, and you know what else I’s luvs sissy? We got a new ‘lectric blanky. And mommy said we didn’t have to wait fur Christmas to start usin’ it. Fank da cats, cuz it’s been really cold ‘round here. Y, Just this meownin’ it was 7 degrees F. But we were toasty warm all cuddled up together under da new ‘lectric blanky.
Yep Raena, we sure are blest. We furgot to ask ‘bout usin’ names, so we’ll just say a meowsy big Fank you to our ‘lectric blanky Angel. (Dezi purrs loudly and then peers at Raena) Don’t you have somethin’ you wanna say Raena?
(Raena thinks a minute) Ummmm, well…Oh yeah, I’s do sissy. Fanky Fank ya’ dear Angel furiend. We luvs our new ‘lectric blanky. Mommy was so excited she furgot to take fotos. Now da camera batteries are dead and we gotta wait fur ’em to charge so we can take fotos. But you can trust me when I’s tell ya’, we are luvvin’ da snuggly warmth it emanates. Ya’ know sissy, we have da bestest furiends in da universe.
Yes Raena, we do. You know, mommy talked ‘bout how we made all these furiends yesfurday when she wrote da posty. We better wrap it up fur now. Mommy wants another cup of coffee and we need to finish eatin’ brekky. And there’s some gifts under da tree dat need investigatin’ befur Christmas. We hope ya’ll are stayin’ warm. Me also wants to fank all of you who are takin’ care of ferals in your area. Just a few more dreams and Christmas day will be here.
Are you ready fur Christmas?
