DECEMBER 3, 2011 A bittersweet day. I have never given up an animal before, because they are family and you tolerate quirks from family, so you should from pets as well. But we have two senior cats, and one is chronically ill. And then we have Rory. Who is 5 years old, and playful as the day is long, and who totally can’t understand why the two older cats have little interest. If it were just that, we’d probably work things out, but because of the aggressive tendencies of his play, he has caused destruction in the house via the others marking. Everything. Having attempted for almost 7 months to work things out, Rory is going back to the rescue today. My Christmas wish for him is to find a home with younger cats, or to be an only cat to someone who can lavish attention on him. In better news, Arlie is moving in today! The balance of cats to people is swinging again towards the humans—the servants will outnumber the served.

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. Hamilton Wright Mabie
Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved. ~Augusta E. Rundel
Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall. ~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas (This tree is last years display at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. http://www.lewisginter.org/ )
Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space. ~Dave Barry
Something about an old-fashioned Christmas is hard to forget." ~ Hugh Downs
