| Sam and Ben-Ben on Christmas morning a few years ago. |
I've been on the blogger naughty list these past weeks but I didn't want the holiday season to go by without touching base with you, my dear friend.
I know this year has been a challenging one for you, but through all of it, you have remained solid and strong. Oh sure, you've collapsed on your bed many a time, sobbing your heart out – I mean, haven't we all? But there you stand, regardless, facing yet another Christmas and another whole year, with optimism, excitement, grace and enough cookies to feed a small nation.
My sincere hope is that you find peace in your generous heart, and happiness, and at least a bit of the love you have shown me. Oh, and a big honking present under the Christmas tree.
Merry Christmas, my friend. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteAnd how many people were maimed getting that outfit on Ben-Ben?
Only a dozen! Merry Christmas, Alex!
DeleteAnd a giant cookie strewn gingerbread laced pine smelling Christmas to you to....if Santa is paying attention I would like for none of these goodies to show up on my hips the day after Christmas lol.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, gingerbread!!!! Hugs and Merry Christmas, Delores. P.S. - I have that same wish!
DeleteIt is early Christmas morning here. Thank you so much for your wishes. Which I am returning with interest.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to agree with Alex, how did you get Ben-Ben into his suit? Blood would have been involved here. Mine, and in quantity.
You know what? Ben-Ben is pretty calm, cool and collected about everything. I'd like some of whatever he's having... :)
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and Dave and your sons! Are they joining you this year?
ReplyDeleteNah, unfortunately not. But hopefully we're going home in late winter or early spring - can't wait to see them and hug them senseless! In the meantime, I've sent parcels and, of course, I'll call them Christmas morning to "see what they got!"
DeleteBut I don't want a honking present...:(
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Cathy! ^_^ ✰ •* ˚ ♥ 。* ˛。✰˚* ˚ ★ღ ★ ° :.˚ ♥ . • ○ ° ★ . *☆ .
ReplyDeleteWhose Christmas morning, yours or Sam and Angus? Just kidding; sleep in, they won't care.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas old gal
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from Muskoka!
ReplyDeleteAnd a Merry Christmas from Saskatoon, too. Hope you're Bearing up, and had lots of presents under the tree!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Christmas Bear hugs.
And the best to you and your family for the new year.

Such a nice post, Cathy! I hope you had a good Christmas, and I wish you all the best in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteNo big honking presents, but a few small ones that meant the world to me. OH... and some Christmas snuggle I was not expecting from my godson. (see blog)
ReplyDeleteNow Tony... he got a big honking present. Too bad he has to share it with the rest of us.
Ben must have been thinking, "vengeance shall be mine, sayeth the cat, and I shall repay..."
