Last Christmas - Friday Flashback

We love to read Eric and Flynn's Friday Flashbacks, so we decided to do one of our own. This one is from Friday, December 19, 2008. Enjoy!

We all had huge roles in getting the Christmas gifts under the tree this year. We're all exhausted from our hard work and can't wait for this Santa Claws guy to finally come! Well, all of us except Maizy Grace.
Maya served as a place holder for the gifts that were being wrapped.
Cal compacted the gifts before they were wrapped so more could be placed under the tree.
Chevelle found an open drawer and got her furs all over the mans clothes.
Ferris periodically checked the temperature of Cal's nose to make sure he was not overheating in his sweater, while compacting gifts.
Maizy Grace hid in the cabinet after Ferris told her disturbing lies about Santa Claws.
Maggie May stood guard over the gifts, making sure Cal did not come back to compact them after they had been wrapped.

We'd like to thank Ann of Zoolatry for this wonderful Cal ornament. We love it, thank you so much!

Boy those cats were sure a huge help to you. Especially the one getting hair on the mans clothes.
And the ornament of Cal is wonderful.

I enjoyed you sharing your flash back story. What a nice time you had last year getting ready for the big day. I wasn't even on this earth last year at this time so I don't have a flash back yet. Oh well.
Thought you might want to know that you have been out bidded on the calendar that you all had your eye on.
