Sunday Selfies: Week: #176
Here we are at Christmas Eve already. I’m not exactly certain what this holiday is all about; though, I do know gifts are involved. Kitties Blue have already gotten some from Mom and Dad that were too big to wrap. And we got some from Tom’s nephew, Chuck, and his family. Everything else we must wait until tomorrow to open.
Anyhoo, I volunteered to do the Christmas selfie. It does appear as if I might have gotten a little too close to the camera lens, but I am still learning.
We know everyone is super busy, but we sure are hoping some of our regulars will hop with us today. If you’d like to post a holiday-themed selfie that would be great.
Here’s some pointers on hopping with us if you need them.
- The link to add your selfie to the hop is below.
- You also will find below the code to use if you’d like the hop to appear on your blog.
- Posting on Sundays is not necessary to join.
- You do not need to be a cat to enter. All anipals are welcome regardless of species.
- The hop remains open for entries through Thursday midnight.
- Please be so kind as to display our badge and/or link to The Cat on My Head.
Thanks for hopping. Wishing you a Meowy Christmas and Happy Mew Year.
Flashback: Christmas 2013
A few days ago we were reading a friend’s blog, Momma Kat and Her Bear Cat. Bear is a very cheeky snd somewhat egocentric cat, and he wrote his own “12 Days of Bear-mas.” This reminded us that somewhere in the archives was our own version of the this often parodied song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” If you need a giggle or two, read on. Mauricio actually wrote this for Cat Scouts, when he was just a lowly Bobcat. We present this with apologies to our friends, Da Tabbies O Trout Towne.
