Christmas Day

We had a very good day today! We had a visit from Uncle Mike, Uncle Jim, Aunt Alison, Cooper, Owen and Summer.

We did lots of nice things together. We all sat around the Christmas tree and opened gifts, Even we pets were remembered by Santa Claus, the embodiment of an 3rd Century bishop from Asia Minor named Nicholas. He is the patron Saint of children and pawn brokers.

Nevertheless, we all celebated, ate good food, walked the neighborhood and had a wonderful time together. This is the way humans remember that Jesus of Nazareth was born. They are so grateful for his life that they celebrate for 12 days!

Christmas Eve

Roe here. No red hats, no antlers, no silly haberdashery. If you even try, I'll hiss, spit and get all furious!

Well... I don't quite know what to say about this photograph. While embarrasing, I'm told that I bear a resemblance to a certain caribou by the name of Rudolph.

I do such things because I love my family. Much in the same way, God so loved the world that he gave his only son to the end that all that believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Put this way, I guess a silly set of antlers is a small price to pay.

I wish all of you a Merry Christmas !!!

Christmas Eve Eve

Good Day. I am Neko, an intelligent canine of undertermined lineage. Together with Roe (a mere cat) I am in the custody of my paternal grandparents whilst our parents, John and Lyndsey, visit Lyndsey's parents. It is my aim to share this blog with Roe as we make meaning of the human celebration of the holiday of Christmas.

Today is the day before Christmas Eve. One might call it Christmas Eve Eve. Grandma is busy wrapping boxes with colorful paper whilst Grandad is taking my dictation. Together they await the celebration of Christmas, the birthday of one Jesus of Nazareth, a Hellenistic Palestinian Jew of the first Century whose witness changed Western Civilization whilst profoundly affecting most world cultures. Not bad for someone with no blog!

This strikes me as odd. Anyone can be born. Why celebrate this? Note to self: Humans dwell in family units. Perhaps the role of relationship is important here. More later.

Roe the cat will write tomorrow's blog. Write, if he can, that is! Take, that, feline!
