My dogs are often in pursuit of sunbeams.

Two dogs, two sunbeams, no waiting.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Kitty

Happy holidays, friends! It’s time for your weekly link roundup…

  1. First up, your punny pet names: Norman Tockwell, Mariah Hairy, and Brenda Flea. (Also, meet Salvador Doggy.)
  2. Corgi with your legs so short, for sleigh-pulling duty, please report.
  3. All dogs go to… law school?
  4. Much like my own dogs during the holidays, these dogs are So. Over. It. (These cats, on the other hand, are making the most of the giant scratching post you so kindly installed.)
  5. Is it time for Downton Abbey to return yet? (I always type that as Downtown Abbey, which is a show I would also watch.) Until then, enjoy Breaking Abbey.
  6. Holiday overload? Yes, please.
  7. I whipped up a batch of homemade butterbeer once. It was glorious. I think I want some right now.

Finally, here’s today’s video:

Epic.

If you’re worried, and you can’t sleep…

Just count your puppies instead of sheep.

Recognize that movie? I had the chance to go see the stage version last night with a good friend (hence the fact that Thursday’s post is going up on Friday). It definitely helped get me in the holiday mood – snow even fell on us at the end. (Not just confetti, but wet snow. It was a nice touch.)

Third row, baby!

Third row, baby!

I know we’ve talked about favorite Christmas movies before. However, that was two years ago, so it seemed like time to revisit the topic. My question to you – what’s your favorite? I’ll start off the discussion. My required Christmas viewing includes White Christmas (obviously), Elf, and many more…

Adorable Combat: Cat vs. Tree

Posted on by

If you are a long-time reader, you may know that I love caroldies. (For the uninitiated, that’s a parody of a Christmas carol.)  So, I can’t let a season pass without sharing a few new ones with you. Today?

I Saw Three Cats

I saw three cats come walking in,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
I saw three cats come walking in,
On Christmas day in the morning.

And what was in their mouths, dear me,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day?
And what was in their mouths, dear me,
On Christmas day in the morning?

A portion of my Christmas tree,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
I feared the worst was soon to be,
On Christmas day in the morning.

The living room was a sight to see,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day.
They’d opened the presents and knocked down the tree,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Seriously though – it’s better to have your cat knock down the tree in the following video than a real one. Consider making it cat-proof.

Getting into the holiday spirit…

It’s time for your Friday linkage…

  1. Your punny pet name: Bob Scratchit.
  2. We’ll start with a little shameless self-promotion. My long-dormant baking blog is back on the scene! Wondering what to make for the holidays? Check out my recipe for Coconut BonBons.
  3. Not sure what to get your furry (or feathered) friend this holiday season? Here are some great ideas.
  4. I can’t get enough Grumpy Cat. The 12 Days of Christmas will never be the same.
  5. Best version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas ever? You be the judge.
  6. Definitely an awesome holiday window display.
  7. I just got my holiday cards – now I just need to find the time to address them. (I used to be a Kodak Gallery gal, but they don’t do the cards online anymore. I tried Snapfish this time around – what service do you use?) Speaking of great Christmas cards, have you seen the White House one this year? Adorbs.

Finally, it’s time for today’s video. I figure you can’t go wrong with Simon’s Cat:
