Thankful Thursday
Each Thursday Kitties Blue and I like to share the things for which we are thankful, and Christmas is the perfect time to do that.
Periwinkle and Stinky are thankful their gingerbread cats tasted delicious; though, they may have looked less than appetizing. (Periwinkle and Stinky shared photos of our three Christmas trees in their post on Tuesday. Click on the link in the previous sentence if you’d like to see them.)
Kitties Blue are not only thankful for heated floors on cold days but also radiators.

I am thankful I have completed at least 90 percent of the gift wrapping duties.
The gang and I are thankful to those of you who have sent us holiday greetings. Unfortunately our cards will be arriving at your homes after Christmas, as I failed to order them in a timely manner. (We don’t want any of you to think we have forgotten you when you do not receive a card prior to Christmas.)
Kitties Blue and I are thankful to each of you for being our friends, following our blog and leaving comments.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Thursday also is the day when we share a poem based on an inspiration photo selected by Angel Sammy and Teddy from Two Spoiled Cats. Here is today’s fun photo followed by my poem.

Christmas is Saved
It’s difficult to deliver gifts
when all the reindeer call in sick!
But Mrs. Claus knew of a resource
and called in the U.S. Air Force.
They loaded up Santa’s sleigh and goodies
to deliver to all the world’s kiddies.
Santa was thankful Christmas was saved
and upon the Air Force bestowed great praise!

Each week Angel Sammy transmits his poem from the Rainbow Bridge to Teddy for publication. He is one of Kitties Blue and my favorite poets, and his poem always gets an A+ from us. Pop on over to Two Spoiled Cats, by clicking on the poetry badge, to check out Sammy’s poem and get the photo for next week’s challenge.
Thanks for dropping in today. Hope to see you again tomorrow for Feline Friday and Friendly Fill-ins.




















So much to be greatful for
Radiators and floor vents are very popular this time of year I do like the poem, the USAF saved the day!
I wish I had heated floors. I only have a heated bed. ~Ernie
Excellent thankfuls! We’d love heated floors. That was a terrific poem too. Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Cute photo. I miss radiators. I had them in my childhood home and loved warming clothes on them. Our poems are similar again. 🙂 XO
We too love the things that are in our lives at this time of the year.
Love your poem!
Great poem. Kitties Blue sure know how to find the BEST spots.

Oh we really LOVE your poem this week! My Mom is an “Air Force Brat” (her Dad was in the Air Force) so thinking about the Air Force saving the day for Mr. and Mrs. Claus makes her happy. I’m glad though that Santa is able to visit ALL the kids in remote places that the reindeer and the sled can’t get to! I bet your house looks like magic at Christmas with the trees and decorations!!!
Hugs, Teddy
That radiator top looks like a toasty spot! It’s been so cold lately, even here, brrrr! Love the poem!
WELL, we are thankful for all you do for us kitties.
That was a great Poem Mom Janet!!
