Christmas Day


Christmas Day dawned with a dramatic Eastern sky.


I am not a morning person by any means but was so thankful to be up to witness this sunrise. What a Christmas morning gift!


First thing we checked the stocking to see what Santa-paws might have delivered. New cat-nip mice for everyone!


Solomon says please leave me alone - I'm busy here!


Padma was in heaven. Nothing like a 20 pound cat in drug-induced joy!


As I set the Christmas table, this female Hairy Woodpecker was having her Christmas lunch at the peanut feeder.


Just after 4 PM we at down to dinner with Family.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!


I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Sounds like a perfect day to me. For two- and four-legged critters alike! :)
Your tree is soooo pretty. As is the sunrise. Worth the early morning for sure!
