Hey guys,

I know i am a bit early but let me take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy NewYear. I will be out to celebrate Chirstmas so i won't be on PF.

In 2006 the world has proven not to be a very nice place. Especially the situation in the Middle East, Darfour, Iraq, global warming, etc etc touches us all. Let us never forget that we have to share this place we call Earth with ALL PEOPLE. We have no other option. Causing pain and war touches us all especially when we take into account the potential dangers of nuclear weapons of whatever kind.

I would like to think that we can deal with these situations in a respectable manner although we all know this is a very difficult goal and perhaps our greatest challenge EVER. May we all find the necessary inspiration to do so.

To all fellow PF people, may all your dreams come true and i wish you all the success you have been working for. Enjoy the celebrations and make sure YOU DRINK ENOUGH :smile:

For those of you who love cats, here are some cosy scenes

That was sweet marlon. I enjoyed the ending with the lights from your tree and the city view from the window, beautiful. Have a wonderful holiday.

My animals have been very good{hah, now that the tree is wired to the deer mount} in hopes that Sandy Paws will bring them gifts on Lickmas day!
A merry Lickmas to all the animals of PF!

Ooh, Meowy Lickmas to all the kitties from Ember too! Though, I'm still threatening her that Sandy Paws might not come if she keeps trying to take sneak peeks into MY presents under the tree! So far, she hasn't knocked the tree over yet, though not for lack of trying. She might still get a few presents if the tree stays standing. (Her kitty aunties have already bought her presents...it's just up for debate if her Mom and Sandy Paws give her any :devil: :biggrin:).

Merry Christmas to all the people who celebrate!

And Happy New Year to all!

Thank goodness; we've finally found someone who is more pathetic than us and our cats. :biggrin:

:smile: I admit it, I'm as bad as new parents bragging about their baby. I'm sure it'll wear off...eventually. Since I don't have any kids, I get to spoil the cat rotten (though, other than having about a million toys, I don't spoil her that much :rolleyes:).

If you say so... :rolleyes: In our case, what wore off was the idea that this is our [humans] house. We're pretty sure that the cats just keep us around to buy the food.

Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

A Very Happy Christmas everyone. :smile:
