Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas to all!

I hope you have a wonderful day with family, friends and pets, even the nuisance kitties like Xavier, eat too much, maybe imbibe a bit too much and love lots.

It took a treat bribe to get Xavier even close to our wee Christmas tree for the pic.

The minute I set the camera down he assumed a near perfect pose. Now he’s fallen asleep there.

Do you see the copy of Seventeen magazine?

It’s the December 1984 issue.

I came across it a short time ago while sorting through documents that belong to Kathy’s late Grandmother Mae.

Among the hard hitting journalism of articles such as “Gorgeous Guys: Are they great to date?” is a piece by one Kathy Shaidle – “Christmas Lists of a Feminist Past.”

I am not sure even Kathy remembered her Grandma had kept it, stashed as it was deep in the credenza where family documents were stored and frankly avoided.

A lovely thing to appear for Christmas. Like a gift in fact.

I will I think publish it in a pdf format later.

Merry Christmas!
