Christmas Cheer!

Now that Christmas songs are played on the radio, I can officially say, it's Christmas time.

With Christmas time, there comes parties, snow, skating, frostbite...and PRESENTS! 🎁

I look forward to all of the above, minus the frostbite, because really...who wants frostbite?

As you may or may not know, I live in a one-bedroom apartment in Osborne Village with two free loading roommates.

Even though I "live alone" I enjoy the feeling/tradition of setting up a Christmas tree and decorating my apartment, even if I don't have any visitors over the holidays.

I like the cheap holiday scented candles at Bath & Body Works and if you do also....Boy do I have an early gift for you! Use the promo code WILDVANILLA at the checkout to receive 20% off your order (online only) by December 31, 2014.

It may be lame and corny, but the kitties have their own stockings set-up that I usually fill with little snacks, usually Temptations, and before you jump all over me for allowing the kitties to eat that garbage. I don't give them out too often, like a cupcake or treat, every once in a while it's nice to indulge a little bit.

In years past I have given the cats Christmas themed collars, but they usually aren't the biggest fan of them. I can understand their resistance to them, but the kitties look prettier, which is nicer than just being plain-jane.

I don't want you to think I dress the Cakes up like this poor guy.
She would probably scratch and claw my eyes out, so I would never dare trying to pull something like this off.

But, you would have no heart & soul if you told me you didn't think this guy was the cutest thing you've seen in a while. It's not flashy, it's quiet simple..but it's elegant.

I love getting Christmas gifts, I love giving Christmas gifts, even to the kitties. This year, however, I don't quite know what to get them.
I've been keeping an eye out for awesome gifts when i'm cruising the aisles of Walmart, Target and Petland.

I recently took to the Internet, Amazon has great gifts for not only cats, but dogs also! Treat the furry family members like you'd like to be treated I say. But them some gifts, and they shower you with coodles and kisses.






Some families go to extremes with their cats though...making Christmas greeting cards. Don't get me wrong, this is awesome and I love it, but I don't know if I could pull something like this off...




Christmas time is about cheer, love, and family so I encourage you, spread a lil' cheer, donate some time/money/clothing to a good cause, because everyone deserves a warm meal and a jacket-Especially true here in "Winterpeg".

Don't be like this grumpy bastard this Christmas!

  1. Merry Christmas! I have been enjoying your blog for several weeks now. You seem like a fun loving caring person. Anyone with animals usually are.
    Since you live in an apartment have you considered buying the "girls" one of them cat stands that have shelves on it. They could climb up & down while resting on the shelves. If you did buy one for them I'm sure Cakes would take the top shelf.
    Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Perhaps you can have a little get together at your place, visitors are always great, especially during the holiday season.
    Cheers
