19 Days til Christmas!

Time for me to start dropping my Christmas gift hints a little harder. The Can Opener appears to be totally clueless as to my (and Sushi’s) Christmas wish list. Of course, she is only human, which is a huge drawback- but even she has to have a brain in there somewhere… The question is, how to get through that head of hers?

What Sushi wants…

I asked Sushi what she wants for Christmas, and all she said was “a nap.” You know, I know she’s part of the family and all, but good grief. No imagination at ALL.

So, I told her what I want and she said I should write a list for the Can Opener and leave it someplace where she can’t miss it. Like the mirror. Or the refrigerator. Or better yet, taped to her face.

But I think she’s forgetting I’m a CAT- writing and taping is a little hard for my paws. Maybe I should have a talk with that creepy little elf that keeps popping up. If he’s going to be hanging around so much, I may as well put him to work.

I think I’ll make a list and leave it for him to take to Santa.

I’ll probably leave him some treats too- in case he needs a little “motivation.” Maybe all those cookies kids leave for Santa is why he keeps coming back every year. If all I had to do for treats was drop down a chimney in random houses once a year, I’d probably do it too. That is, if there’s no fire in the chimney! MOL!
