It's not funny. They think it is, but it isn't! It is so NOT funny, and it's a holiday miracle that my brain isn't warped from this treatment.

My very first holiday season began officially when I met Santa. We had a nice chat. Then came the Holiday Light Crawl: a limo came to collect me and took me to be petted by the holiday-light-viewers. Later the gifts began to arrive. Finally I got to open all of my gifts. Evidently, I was a better girl than I thought I was . . . and Santa obviously took notice. Our little chat probably did the trick.

Here I am with my Santa toy, trying to kill it . . . and here I am with my new fish. Love that fish.

Here are more photos from my limo ride to see Christmas lights. Good behavior is a must in order to ride loose in the limo. Of course, a cup o' cheer will always enhance good behavior. Being sweet is critical during this season. Below is just one example of how to look sweet.

Who would deny this animal?
