:jump: Hurray! It's great to finally make it here. Had a little trouble registering, alas everything is okeedokee now.

:snowtoast: Feels nice, Mrs. Claus - love the new smilies and I smiled when I saw the familiar ones.

For anyone new that wonders in, I'm a Christmas lover from waaaay back. I love the traditions of Christmas and recall with great fondness and clarity all the merriment and wonderment I experienced as a child growing up in a close-knit family. Fetching our grand trees and the transformation that took place at the hands of my father while my two brothers and I handed ornaments to him. Mother decorated the railings with cedar boughs, mirrored beads and festive red bows. The list goes on ...

Decorating my Christmas tree, listening to music (off and on throughout the year) and watching Christmas specials (especially those that I grew up viewing), spending extra time with family (especially with the grandchildren) and wrapping presents are among my greatest Christmas pleasures.

I still believe in Santa. On Christmas Eve, no matter how old I get, I'm sure I'll still be resting in bed (who sleeps?) straining my ears and listening for the sound of sleigh bells in the distance.

My husband and I are owned by a half-feral cat named, O'Malley (I'm sure yule get to know as much about him as you do about me as time goes on).

Festive Regards,
Auntie M.

Thanks, Noel! :snowhouse: Mrs. Claus has done a great job and I'm sure she's had a few elves to help her out!

Check out how much my boy has grown.

O'Malley the cat says, "merrawwwwl" he never meows like a normal cat. He loves Christmas. He has a shiny gift bag fetish. HaHa.

:treeswave: Auntie so glad you were able to get on. (So busy on my end that I didn't have much of a chance to look into the problem.) I've see you've dived right in too. That's great!

It's nice to see your Christmas kitty. Can't wait to hear some more O'Malley tales! :snowjump:

Hello and welcome aboard Auntie M.

O'Malley sure has grown - I remember when he was just a wee baby.

Glad to see you have joined in the fun on the board. :jump:

:snowwow: Thanks everyone. Not to worry Mrs. Claus, I'm here now. I know you had your hands full with many things.

O'Malley goes to the Vet. for his yearly check-up and shots in a few weeks and I'm going to get a finger wagged in my direction. He's at least twenty pounds, mainly muscle, but still his doctor wanted him about 15 pounds. What can I do? He has to grow into his tail to keep his balance and he has a massive tail. When I pick him up (not often), I'm sure he's about 23 lbs. but I'm hoping he's not that heavy. He has playdates with our neighbours cat. It's cute to see him playing with his buddy, Ringo and treating him like a little brother.



:hide: Off to see what's going on ... jingle bells, jingel bells ...
