Cat stories and the internet seem to go together like shoes and feet. Or water and ducks. Or, well you get the idea. But what about Christmas and cats?

Do you remember when it took what felt like two months for the week of Christmas to pass? The hours on Christmas Eve surely had 120 minutes each.

My Christmas giveaway is over, but I’m still thinking about all the great e-mails you shared with me about your favorite gifts received when you were a child or that you gave to a child.

Merry Christmas, everybody!! This is one of the cute Christmas cards I got this year and so I’m sharing it with all of you.

Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, …
December 22, 1965 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky at Christmastime or almost Christmas, anyway. I am so excited. Are you? I love Christmas. What do I love about Christmas in Hollyhill? I like the red and green lights the county workers string up on the street light posts. I like the pine tree in front of …

December 15, 1965 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. About Christmas. Don’t you just love December? Christmas comes in December and there is so much to love about Christmas.
