Merry Second Day of Christmas!

Hello, friends! We hope you had a merry and blessed Christmas!

I came down with something on Christmas and am not feeling my best. Because of that, today's post will be a quick one mostly to make sure we share the fill-in statements for tomorrow's Friendly Fill-Ins challenge. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two, and I came up with the second two.

1. _________ was the highlight of my Christmas (or Hanukkah).

2. I ate too much _________ on Christmas (or Hanukkah).

3. Even though Christmas Day has passed, I _________.

4. I'd still like to _________ before this year is over.

We'll see you tomorrow, friends!

And Merry Second Day of Christmas!

Around here we do indeed celebrate the Twelve Day of Christmas. Christmas itself is only the First Day of Christmas, so there's still plenty of festive fun to be had.

Tip of the Day

Did your kitty or pup get new toys for Christmas? We're thinking many of them probably did. Now that all such new Christmas gifts have been opened and are being enjoyed, consider going through your furbaby's toy stash, pulling out the ones they don't use, and donating them to a shelter or rescue. Many shelters will accept such toys as long as they are clean, as well as easily cleaned, and in good condition. Of course, it is nonetheless always best to do your research regarding an individual shelter or rescue's requirements for donations. Donating toys that your kitty or pup has accumulated but does not use not only keeps your furbaby's toy stash at manageable levels, but also of course benefits shelter kitties and pups who are awaiting their forever homes. This might also go for unopened cans of food your furbaby will not eat, and even clean blankets they do not use. Christmas is indeed the season of giving, and even though the 25th of December has passed, that spirit of giving does not need to come to an end.
