I hope everyone had a lovely holiday filled with warmth, good food, and contentment. I found myself missing the familiar holiday celebrations. My Grandmother decorates the house with over 200 Santas (yes, 200 – I counted them a few years back and she adds more every year…), my cats have their little holiday feast and a toy cat-stravaganza, and the family has a celebratory gift opening followed by Champagne. That said, I was very welcome here and enjoyed the family’s tradition of having a breakfast Brandy Alexander! I may keep that one.

Meanwhile work at the shop carried on…..





This mini steam toy…you know you want to keep it ! 😉
It’s pretty adorable!
We missed you too. Christmas just isn’t the same without your cute and intelligent sense of humor. Not to mention the fantastic hugs! I always enjoy watching you carefully unwrap your presents and then to see your face light up as you discover the unique object perfect for you from within the box. Love you sweetheart and hope to see your beautiful face again soon.
Hope to get home for Christmas after Christmas some time!
