CHRISTMAS, not just another day
(Maude and her sister Emily, with Emily the cat)
It's funny, I look around on our street and all the houses are still dark. Why aren't all the little kids up at 5 am waking their parents and ripping open presents? Ironically, in our family, Christmas is an afterthought, just another day to eat too much. The German background in our family used the tradition of opening gifts on Christmas Eve, and with our anniversary also on the 24th, by now we are almost partied out. Maude's sister Emily departs midday, her older sister Abigail arrives midday.
I forgot to make any this year, but here is a rather cute Santa candle holder. I make snowmen and Santa dogs too.

Merry Christmas, Gary and Maude! Nice pictures.
Hey, Gary, maybe Emily is a bullseye tabby. Check out the entry for "tabby cat" at wikipedia.com
She is a little cross-eyed and very talkative and one of her colors is tan: we suspect there may be some Siamese in there too, and thanks for the tip!!!!
Yes. She has a hurricane swirl around her middle, like the ginger colored example at wiki.
how about a photo of abigail.
Hi Emily! Finally we meet. ;-)
