Mabel and I went to the Greenmarket so we could Christmas-ize the apartment. First we bought a huge wreath that had red balls and holly berries to put on the front door of 5A. Then we got yards and yards of pine boughs and pine cones and holly sprigs to decorate the mantels and the window sills. We also got lots of poinsettias -- some in red and some in white because Mabel likes to put them all over the house.
My favorite flowers are the amaryllis bulbs. Mabel kept picking up the red ones, but I meowed and meowed and pulled on her coat sleeve until she finally realized that the best ones had red and white striped flowers -- much more festive as far as I was concerned. I don't know what she would do without me!
When we finished decorating, Mabel invited my friends for Christmas cookies and fish tea. They all admired the wreath and they got to take home their very own little catnip plants in tiny green pots tied with a red ribbon.
Don't you just love Christmas!
