Nov 26

30 Days of November - "Something that means a lot to me" and
Day 26 of My Personal 30 Days in Manual Mode Challenge!

Today we are decorating the house for Christmas. Every year
I put this misshapen snowman on our Christmas tree and think
fondly back to one of our cats, Kate, who's in kitty heaven.
My mother-in-law made this cute little snowman ornament and
Kate decided that it was hers. This is the only ornament
that she would take from the tree and play with. Notice that
it no longer has any eyes...evidence that she loved it well.

Sentimental things that we keep are just the best decorations - I have many.
This has a lovely story attached to it.

Oh, that is such a sweet memory. I don't know if I'll put up a tree or not. Not usually here on Christmas. Do love this little ornament!

What a wonderful story. Yes, the fun of Xmas trees, ornaments and cats. This is a very pretty photo of your tree with this meaningful tribute to your kitty. V.
