Much like little kids, what cats really get excited about on Christmas is the wrapping paper. And what better thing to find inside your wrapping paper than a nice warm Winnie!

We celebrated Christmas Eve in the way Our People have done for generations…we went out for Chinese food. Which was a lot more fun than ripping up toilet paper  (you’ll just have to click on the link for an explanation).

I can’t help but wonder who thought it was a good idea to make Christmas lights shaped like the Pillsbury dough boy.
