12/25/2024 – Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We wish you a wonderful day filled with love, family, and joy. We’re enjoying a quiet day here (as long as Mom can keep herself from cleaning out some closet or cabinet). We both have a rare day off work together, something we get only two or three times a year at most since we work completely different schedules from one another. A Christmas miracle!

The cats are enjoying vintage Santa Paws toys that had been squirreled away, marinating in the finest catnip from 2016. Add to that, a couple of soft kitty blankets that were donated a few years ago and you can bet four Colehaus cats will be sweet dreaming the day away.

Not one for traditional holiday meals and ever mindful of the expense, we decided to make homemade salsa with all the fresh ingredients we could find. A big, gi-normus glass bowl of salsa that might last a week or more for your average person, but we have cats, therefore, we are anything but average. So, figure on that salsa lasting two days, maybe three but that’s it. The influx of fresh veggies is exactly what we crave this time of year without the worry or cost of a fancier meal.

What? Salsa and chips can’t be a Christmas meal in itself?

We hope you and your loved ones have a very Merry Christmas. We’ll be back in one week, next Wednesday, on New Year’s Day with our 2024 year in review and a welcome to 2025. From our family to yours, warm wishes for a joyful and beautiful day, and safe travels for New Year’s Eve. Thank you for visiting us!
