Better late than never

Finally! At last I am reunited with my adoring public! Mom has been hogging the computer lately. Something about "essays" and "research papers" and nonsense like that. I can't get a word in edgewise! I will be glad when this semester is over and I have been reinstated to my rightful position as King of the Keyboard!

In other news, it's Christmas, which means piles and piles of presents! Kenzie and I enjoy exploring the mountain of loot, occasionally adding our own special touch to the wrappings. Most of the gifts are addressed to my human cousin, Armando, but there are a couple near the back with MY name on them! Well, Kenzie and my name both. We have to share.

Speaking of sharing, we're still scraping by with just the one Christmas stocking. You would think by now Mom would have gotten around to stitching up one for each of us, but no. Mom has SEVEN of her own stockings hanging around the dining room. She SAYS they're just for decoration and she doesn't really expect Santa to fill them all, but I've seen her eyes glowing with greed as she surveys them.

Speaking of greed, Santa will be lucky to get a plate full of crumbs this Christmas Eve, with the way Mom's been inhaling the Christmas cookies. She doesn't share those, either. Occasionally Kenzie can persuade her to part with a nibble or two. Kenzie's a big fan of oatmeal raisin. I'll stick with my raspberry hay cakes.
