Christmas Music is beginning to play on the radio around here already, and last night, DH had some playing. The song "Christmas Shoes" came on, and of course had me bawling my eyes out by the time the first verse was over
Anyway, it got me to really thinking about the true meaning of the holiday spirit, about spending time with friends and family, and the closeness and bonds that we share.
And I really started crying when I realized that this holiday season, two little kitties got the absolute best gift of all -- a warm place to sleep and food in their bellies. Another one got a bed outside on the porch, since that's the closest she'll come and only when we aren't there. She, too, gets food every night.
It really made me appreciate what we have, and the importance of doing for others, whether they are human others or our animal companions.
I just thought I'd share.
