ManCat Monday - Christmas Edition

Meow is like aloha - it can mean anything. -Hank Ketchum I am practicing to be the holiday table decoration for mum. She boughted this red cloth thing last week (very cheaply, she is good at that)to brighten up the table that mostly just holds stuff. But now it is holding pretty stuff. Mum got one of her fancy bowls out and some bright, shiny colorful balls. Makes the table look very festive, but I am the best and final touch. Last weekend I showed you how much snow had built up on the birdie bath. But then we got warmer weather and some sunshine during the past week. This is now was was left on Saturday morning and it had all melted by Saturday afternooon. The warmer weather made it all misty and foggy around here. Mum took a picture of the tree in the two doors down neighbors yard. But early on Sunday morning the wind started to blow with snow and the temperatures dropped. So we can see clearly again and the wind is furry cold. Mum did go outside so she could fill up the birdie feeders. The birdies all came around to eat, so they were happy so mum did a good thing by filling the feeders. Mum finally finished decorating the tree with little decorations. All of them are soft or at least not breakable. Hmph, does she think I would break them?
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David,) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.


And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.


And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. Luke 2: 1-20 (KJV)

  11. I think you look better on that table than your Mum's decorations. But I guess she had to put something up there as she can't expect you to sit on the table round the clock, every day.

    Merry Christmas to you and your Mum :-)
