It Was The Night Before Christmas

0200 Christmas Eve - the wind is blowing hard.
The cats are playing tag and they have left the tree alone; I guess they know that I get grumpy when they misbehave.
I never put out the Christmas lights outside but the flavor of the season lingers with every thought throughout our neighborhood here and online.
We whisper over the wires "Merry Christmas" as the TV sings a carol in the background- Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Our youngest cat does not realized that he can dump outside like the rest of the cats - Did you ever hear "Blue Smoke Waivers Over An open Fire" or "Oh What a Smell From the Kitty Litter?"
Our kitty litter is for our oldest cat Alley Cat who just lingers by my side and is content just to be alive; she is thin, healthy and the oldest. She likes to be petted just once then you better walk away because she will draw blood.
Most of our Red Stockings have Antlers sticking out of them over the doorway like mistletoe.
Motherkitty works from 1400 to 1800 then she is off Christmas Day. I think the children are headed to Kitten Yarns then everyone is headed back here except for "Working Daddy".
0700 - It is still raining - Motherkitty is up and active, first checking mail and now working in the kitchen, marinating meat, stuffing and pies. The cats are still running around smacking each other. The wind and rain have soaked the seeds in the bird feeders. I guess the birds are hiding behind buildings to stay away from the wind and rain.

A Gift in December
