Christmas Day Photos


Alex’s Stocking

Santa left Alex a new, large package of catnip in his stocking. Unfortunately, Santa had had not foreseen how aggressively the furball would open and partake of his gift.







My Christmas Dinner

Menu

  • New York Cut Strip Steak
  • Baked Potato
  • Tossed Salad
  • Dinner Rolls
  • 2001 Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Cherry Pie
  • Coffee

The reason that these photos are taken of the meal on the counter is because anything set on the table without me in front of it with a knife and fork is at risk of being attacked by the furball.

I think I prefer your Christmas dinner over the turkey and stuffing that we had. All that is fine for Thaksgiving, but Christmas should be about what you love. So I may be borrowing your menu next year.
I'm so glad that Alex enjoyed his Christmas as well.

Hope you both have a happy New Year !

Looks like Alex really enjoyed his Christmas catnip. Love the photos.

And your Christmas dinner looks good enought to eat! I have to go shopping later this morning, and just put a strip steak on my shopping list.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Mr. Nick.

Blessings,

Renie

I can’t let my cat see those photos or she will be jealous of Alex. I should not have looked at that steak. I am tempted to become a beef eater again.

You sure know how to treat yourself and your cat to the finer things! The torn open bag of catnip is hilarious and that steak looked very tasty. I miss my George Foreman grill! Have a Happy New Year's, Nick.

Squirl said...

Catnip and steak, what more could you need? I hope you both had a great day.

I think I gave Bucky's cats the catnip more as present to Bucky and me than to the cats. :-)
