December Already!!! Time To Start Getting Ready For Christmas

My goodness! December has snuck up on us and that means its getting to look a lot like Christmas...all around us and in our den too!  At least a little bit...Well, petcretary got out all the boxes and took out some of the things in there and then got all discouraged because there was SO MUCH...so we are just going to have our small trees and some other 'trinkets'. We only have small trees here because there is not  any room for a large one, real or artificial, and in the past the furs would try s hard to climb into any tree of size that was not on a table so she gave up having regular trees, MOL/BOL! Dalton fur sure will be trouble with a big tree, and Pipo still tries to steal ornaments which meant that in the past he too has pulled down, even a small tree...sigh...when she got our biggest (4foot) tree out of the box and put together, the bottom lights did not work...at all...so she took it off the table and examined it. It looks like Minko left a memento on the wires to those lights; the strand was chewed right through. Sheesh! So even in his 'angelhood' Minko is at it, MOL!!!
He wanted to make sure he would not be forgotten on this, the first Christmas without him being with us:(
Dalton looks with wonder at all the things petcretary is doing, going back and forth with boxes and bags...it would be funny to let him have at it, but...um...that will not happen if petcretary has anything to say about it.
MrJackFreckles just lays there and watches...this is Christmas #15, he is used to it, we think:)
Pipo went to the window perch to watch, and lo and behold, there are dangling snowflakes there now! Petcretary crocheted those when she was first married, over 30 years ago. But never dared to hang them up due to feline mischief making...but Pipo is more sedate, being almost 13...and he just moves them aside to look out the window! He did almost take them down when his tail swished through the strands, MOL!!! We shall see how long they stay up!
Petcretary has to get busy now to finish all the decorating...which by some standards is not that much, tee-hee! And then she has to get her cards ready to mail to family and some friends. Mostly those who do not have internet or computers...and she has to make our cards to send to those on the lists from Bloggville. Eventually you will get them! Eventually being the key word...she has to work  too.
So here is a brief trio of selfies...old and new since time is now at a premium...
