Cyber finally parted the lava sea on his side and is up and getting ready to visit his fam down the road apiece to bring their presents.

We’re thinking of putting off our Christmas dinner until tomorrow because we are tired and lazy. LOL!!!

Isn’t there an old story about the birth of Baby Jesus as January 6? I went to Catholic School all of my life, and we were actually told that. In my fam, we always took the tree and decorations down on that day.

Other than the Insane Fred, we have four other kittehs. Three of which jump over the lava onto ~my~ body for pets and treats in the middle of the night. I get tired...

Merry Christmas! Thank you for the fabulous cat pix every single day. I so look forward to them ...

The ever so happy Mrs. Liberty

December 26 is “the Feast of Stephen,” famous from the carol “Good King Wenceslaus.” It’s as good a day to eat as any. January 6 is Epiphany, which is when most of the world gets their presents.

I have it easy with only the two cats!

I have learned about several "suspected" dates of Christ's birth, but I believe he was born on April 6. It is a logical date, since the shepherds were in their fields with the flocks, and it was tax time, which meant "census."

This always took place in the Spring. We celebrate it on December 25 because we can, and no matter how you cut it, it will not change who He is.
