I know I've spent December grumbling about stupid hats. . . but I'm a pretty happy, lucky, happy-go-lucky guy.  Being a Library Cat is great (so far), and I've gotten lots of extra treats and cuddles during the holiday season.

I got my first Christmas card from friends Laila & Minchie.  (You know it's the Real Deal when you get a card addressed to your very own self!  My coworkers were so jealous!)

Then my friend Anita brought in a card just for me too! She thought the card-kitten is what I probably looked like as a kitten.  (I was cuter.)  (But that kitten is pretty cute.)

I also got to meet our Santa Claus during a break in the action at our Christmas at the Library party.  I don't know if you've met a Santa before, but here in Thorntown we have the real thing.  He has an Elf and everything:

Merry Christmas, friends!  I hope all of your Christmas wishes come true.

Fa la la la la,

No respect.

Why?  Why does she do this?

But!  Poor Ollie.  He can't even defend himself.

Of course, he has a perpetual frown/grumpus face.

Thanks for nothing, Amazon.

Ho Ho No more hats,

Who wore it best?

If you recall, following the Halloween hat debacle I was threatened with the notion of wearing a Santa hat (and beard).  Thank goodness the beard-Santa hat combo was out-of-stock on Amazon is all I can say.  That didn't stop my photographer from going to a Petsmart store and choosing a Santa hat for me to wear.

I hate it.  It bothers my ears!

But I did wear it, for only a minute--and so did lots of other critters in my library.  So who do you think wore it best?

#1 - Aquarium

#2 - Big Bear

#3 - Bookmas Tree

#4 - ME!

#5 - The Singin' Dachsie

#6 - Gooney Bird

#7 - Hedgie

#8 - Mr. Fox

#9 - This Is Not My Hat book

#10 - Chipper

#11 - Sad Panda Dorsey

#12 - Classic Tigger

#13 - Water Bottle

SO. . . who wore it best?!?

(Don't vote for me, they might buy me the Santa suit to go with it. . . .)


PS - Monday is our family Christmas night at the library!  If you are a Boone Countian, or within driving distance, I've heard our Christmas par-tay is worth a visit!  (I will be safely locked away in my office!)  Stop by from 6-8 pm on Monday December 5 for cookies, crafts, photos with Santa, a live animal show by Silly Safaris, strolling magic by Marc Lehmann, and a free book for each child!
