I can't stand it I have to post, even if it is the 7th without any points! I did get my kitties from our local carwash! They were homeless and feral, but I trapped and took them home, mama was the most wild and pregant at the time! I love my babies, GiGi was a drive by, they drove by my house and threw her out! too tiny to be away from her mama! here are Spook and GiGi:

I wonder if i can now afford a slave (to buy me chocolate whenever i need of course)

Do not fear these are not rats
But a cute big bunch of fuzzy meerkats!

I got my current cat since I really loved that breed and wanted a loving affectionate cat that liked dogs.

Bonus points have been awarded!

More points to be given out still.

Points to be given for telling us your Christmas traditions, if you don't have traditions, tell us what Christmas means to you or what you like most about it.

I don't really have a Christmas tradition but the thing I like most about it is getting together with family. Oh yeah, there's also good food and decorating.

kittieshasme · Nov 12, 2007

I collect Old World Christmas ornaments (among others) - almost all my ornaments are animal or nature themed. Because of the 3 cats and 3 dogs I put up garlands over my double entry into the diningroom and over the kitchen door. This protects both my furr friends and the ornaments.

The kitchen garland is decorated with edible themed ornaments including a clip on snail (escargot) and a little pink piggy (ham).

The cats have only pulled the decorated garland down once in the seventeen years I've been doing this. Not one ornament broke! Until I tried to rehang the garland and knocked off two!

sillyjilly · Nov 12, 2007

Those are both very nice! Your points are coming!

One tradition in my family growing up was a 12 days of christmas secret santa. we would pick a family and take treats, gifts, christmas odds and ends and put it on their doorstep and ring the bell and run. On the last night we would reveal ourselves and invite them to go caroling with us.

Another one was and still is going on Dec 23 and going and looking at lights in the different neighborhoods.

Now my family will open one present on christmas eve and the rest at midnight if we make it that far awake. If not we do it all in the morning. Then it is snack food all day and dinner at 3 pm. It is not christmas day if we do not have rotel dip and chips. One year my brother burned the dip and no one has let him forget it.

trouts mom · Nov 12, 2007

Aaaah, Christmas

My family is as messed up as the best of them, but I always look forward to Christmas with them

We have a traditional turkey dinner..my mom and sister make it and it is delicious

When we were kids, we used to come down in the morning and there would be piles of gifts under the tree that weren't there the night before..it was so special and even as an adult I miss it

Now we all get together and have the dinner, and let the girls (my neices) do their thing with their gifts and the rest of us watch the delight in their eyes

I love Christmas

Every year, for Christmas, my parents purchased a special, dated ornament for me and my sister. We have one for every year following our adoption into the family, until age eighteen. That's eighteen years for me and fourteen years for my sister (who was four when she was adopted).

The tradition is going to be passed on to the grandchildren.

Well, every year my family puts one of those plastic electric candles like this:

http://ace.imageg.net/graphics/produ...1188318reg.jpg

in the window, but with a blue bulb. I think we started it when we moved to the county aka suburbia when my sister and I were 4. We decided on a blue bulb because it was more interesting and cooler. I'm in my own apartment for the first time this year and I can't find a plastic electric candle like that anywhere!

Unfortunately, several years ago we read in the newspaper that an extremely repulsive and horrible organization was recommending its members to put an electric candle with a blue bulb in their windows for the holidays as a show of solidarity (or something like that). Eww. I don't know if they still recommend that. We didn't stop putting ours up because we had been doing it for so long (and we had the idea first!), but we did hope we wouldn't get mistaken for members of this organization.

Also, on Christmas morning my family eats cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

People really do that? I've only seen it on TV! But then again my family puts the fun back in disfunctional!

As kids we made cookies and hung stockings (we each had our own one). We would open the stockings last and they were full of really neat things, almost as good as the presents. The older we got, the neater they got too!
And the Christmas dinner is still just as good today as it was then. Nothing changes, and it shouldn't either, great ingredients, real cooking as the lookingglass would say

. It is almost just like a Thanksgiving dinner and there are tons of people and well enough for everyone.

carwashcats · Nov 13, 2007

My parents made Christmas for us girls totally magicial, when we were kids,
and it was and is still fun, but after Marvin and I married we would always
go and cut down a live X-Mas Tree, I loved decorating, and call me weird, but I actually liked being a last minute shopper! It made it seem more like X-Mas to me with everyone out and about! We would watch the old holiday movies, and I would stay up almost all night wrapping presents.
Then we had Jace and it got fun again, we both would stay up putting together whatever toy it was that year! I'll never forget the last X-Mas with Marvin, we got Jace one of those 2 wheel stand on scooters. Marvin started riding it around and around the kitchen, dining room and den (it's one big open room w/wood floors) well ya know I had to ride it too!
After we lost him, I was really dreading the holidays, someone had a great suggestion, and it is our tradition every year now.....we go and buy an ornament, Jace and I get a "Dove" ornament, the sign of peace. It stands for
Marvin, for the day he was buried, His BIL was outside at their house, he said he looked over at the fence and there was a white dove sitting there looking at him. He ran in and got Marvin's Sister and said, 'I have lived here 30 yrs
and I have never seen a white dove here!" he said, 'That's Bull (Marvin)"
and I truly believe it was, we know he is at peace. That is our tradition, is our Dove Ornament, we have several different kinds, I just thought that was so awesome! What a tribute, it sure has helped us make it through what was a pretty unbearable time!

Ok, we are going to do 3 really big points donations! Out of the next 10 posts, 3 people will win 4,000 points each, the other 7 will get 1000 points each.

What you have to do is:

Think of a funny cat saying! Easy enough! Which ever ones I think funniest win the 4,000 points. This is completely random as I may have a different sense of humor than you or someone else! (but I think everything is funny)

luvmy2cats · Nov 13, 2007

What do you mean by cat saying? Like something our cats would say?
