‘Tis the season for holiday celebrations. Woot! 😎
I will spend some time with Little Debbie and Kitty Boodle, along with my dad and stepmom. Food will be eaten, presents will be opened, and Boodle will get lots of scritches.
I also hope to have lunch – and/or a hot chocolate-dessert meetup – with some friends. I also like to text/call/message my cousins and other friends who live in different states and let them know that I’m thinking about (and missing) them.
One thing I do that’s a little unusual is that I will usually start taking my tree down on Christmas Day. As soon as we open presents, I am itching to put all the decorations away, put all the furniture back where it is supposed to go, and clean up my glitter-ball disaster of a house.
Christmas is over, nothing to see here, time to move on.
I enjoy the holiday season, although all the cooking, shopping, wrapping, and decorating is a *lot* of work. So is the family drama that so often comes along with holiday gatherings. Don’t forget to take care of yourself during this busy, stressful time of year.
I was going to do some yoga, but as you can see in this photo, Kitty Boodle decided she wanted to plop down on my old yoga mat. She looked so cute that I took her picture. ? #Iameasilyswayedbycuteness
I hope everyone has a great holiday season filled with family, friends, food, and all the things you love, along with great new books to read.
Thank you for reading. Cheers to all!

Question: How old is Kitty Boodle?
Answer: Kitty Boodle will be 9 years old in November.
Kitty Boodle was a stray that wandered up to Little Debbie’s house one November day. Little Debbie (aka my mom) started feeding her, and the rest is history. Boodle was still more kitten than full-grown back then, so that’s why we think she will be 9 (or thereabouts) this year.
Growing up, we always had dogs, so Boodle is the first cat we’ve ever had. She is a totally spoiled, demanding little diva princess who knows exactly how adorable she is. 🙂
Don’ let that sweet face fool you. Boodle is quite the little huntress. One day a few years ago, I went into Little Debbie’s house. Boodle was nowhere to be seen. I came back outside five minutes later, and Boodle was on the porch – along with the live snake (!) she had just caught. I screamed my head off.
One of the smartest things I ever did was start putting a photo of Boodle in my monthly reading recommendation newsletter. I get more comments about Boodle than anything else, even my own books. LOL.
Little Debbie keeps saying that Boodle needs “royalties” for appearing in my newsletter every month. So I pay her in cat treats and belly rubs.
And that is the story of Kitty Boodle. She has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives, and I hope you all enjoy reading about her and seeing her photos.
