A Christmas Gift… for ME?

December 26, 2019 By: Summer Samba42 Comments

somali cat with Christmas gift

I wasn’t expecting a Christmas gift at all this year, other than my Secret Paws presents. After all, my life is so full and I get things all year round. So I don’t really need or want anything! But when I got up this morning, there was a present under the tree for me.

The big present is mine. The little box was the only thing my human got this year, other than the book and soap in my Secret Paws package.

I couldn’t wait to get it open!

Look at all that tissue paper! I’d better start digging through it.

But once I started pawing through the tissue paper, it finally occurred to me…

The box and tissue paper were the gift! My human remembered how bummed I was that she took the Medium sized Priority Mail box to use — so she picked up another one when she went to the post office!

That was so thoughtful of her! And now I get to have a happy Boxing Day too!

    Crinkle Paper Day is also celebrated at our house! In fact, it’s hard for me to wrap the gifts without Ziggy jumping into the box or trying to pull the tissues out. After we open gifts, we put all the tissue and wrapping paper in a pile for our kitties to enjoy! They love it!

    How thoughtful. You have your own Christmas box to
    look through and dig in. You look special in your Santa
    dress to – as usual.
