    I would love to have a stocking filled with an adorable little cat. Gibbs might not be impressed but I would love it 🙂
    Your answers are great. I have to say that mashed potatoes and gravy are the ultimate in comfort food.

      You’re right about Gibbs not being impressed with the kitties. Merry Christmas, Ann. 🙂

  4. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Happy Christmas Sandee, we hope mew have an epically epic festive season! Supurr fill-ins and snap on #4! Today’s picture is totally adroable!

    That is quite the collection of felines in that painting…and lifelike.

    My favorite holiday tradition is reading the Christmas story and prayer just before we open the gifts.
    On Christmas (or Hanukkah) I plan to fill up on family time with the grand kids.
    ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house every creature was stirring, but there was no mouse!.
    Sharing the love of Jesus is the best way to spread holiday cheer.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours. May you have the most blessed of New Years.

    Food is such a big part of the holidays, and it’s difficult to NOT overeat.

    When Pipo & Minko were small, they would have made fun stocking fillers, too! But by their first Christmas they were full grown already! LOL! (Their BD’s were 12-26 an 12-29…)

    Those are a sweet quintet of kittens!

    Great fill-ins, too.

  18. Rosey says:

    Merry Christmas Eve-Eve to you!
    I like your answers (and yum to potatoes and gravy).
    Here’s mine:

    My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the tree.
    On Christmas I plan to fill up on pie (the one time of year I gladly indulge in dessert!).
    ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even the cat. 😉
    Reaching out in one way or another to those who are in a vulnerable is the best way to spread holiday cheer. People tend to get lonely on the holidays if they don’t have someone to spend it with, so reach out and do something nice for them, if you know anyone who falls into that category. Compassion can be so welcomed, especially this time of year.

    Happy Holidays (again) to you and your husband!! xoxo

        I did. Spent time with my niece, her husband and their toddler. They grow so quick! And then with my brother’s family. One niece looked like a kid in the summer and now she looks like a teen. So surprised. I still remember when she was 5 and waist-high. Now she’s suddenly taller than her mom.
