Scenes and Gifts of Christmas Day

Well, I meant to post yesterday, but I had an awful headache in the morning, and by the time I felt better, it was late in the afternoon, so I decided to just wait until today.  

As previously mentioned, we had a wonderful Christmas Day.  I thought you might enjoy some of the scenes and gifts of the day.

First of all, Hamlet and His Big Weird Package.  This was from Santa, and required a lot of sniffing.  


But he was *very* happy with what was inside - a new bed!


Pip was annoyed that we took SO LONG to open presents - The Tim and I made our breakfast and ate it before we got started, and he let us know of his displeasure.


This was the view from the breakfast table.  Everyone was hinting!

The cats also got a bed from Santa, which has been a BIG hit!


Between resting in the new beds, and playing with some toys from Santa, Hamlet and the kitties had a lot of fun all day.  They were so busy!

Here is a gift Santa brought to me - The Gallery of Dug the Doodle Dog!


I love this so much!  The Tim and I both cried when I opened it.

And look at the one photo - The Doodle with his Koodle!  Look how *tiny* the Koodle is here, I forgot he was ever that small.


I got a tiny Baby Yoda in my stocking:


And I'm sure you can imagine that this gift from The Tim was a huge hit with me:


I asked him where he found these, and he laughed and said, "CVS."  Clearly not the one near us, though, since you're lucky to find things you actually *need* at that one!


He also got me this Gritty ornament, but I'm going to put him on my desk at work to make me smile instead.  Gritty is the mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team, and he is basically a very funny a**hole, and it amuses me to no end.

And finally, this little kitty ornament was in my stocking - I love his knitted hat and scarf!


I'll have to try and get photos of the mugs I got The Tim for Christnas - they cracked me up when I got them, and he LOVES them!  So stay tuned for those.

Today I have no specific plans but will likely write some thank-you notes for gifts we received, and then do some knitting.  Not a bad way to spend time, you know??

Awwwwwwwwww...all the gifts are great, but I think I love that little kitty with a scarf the best.

Enjoy your nice, quiet day.

Those are some pretty happy furkids!
I forgot to add it to my post, but I got Relic a cat bed for Christmas. It's actually a dog bed because Relic is one big kitty, but he loves it. He likes to sit with me on the recliner, but he doesnt like to share, so he'll leave when Burton shows up (and Burton ALWAYS shows up!), and then he sits on the floor looking sad
. Now he can go lay in his big cushy bed, and he's much happier!

The Gallery of The Doodle made me tear up, too.

I love critter Christmases!!! What wonderful gifts you all received. Gritty is just the funniest things. His memes are some of my favorites.
