Meriwether’s Update

It’s Meriwether St. Bernard again, readers, and I must say that Fluffington’s behaviour has certainly improved since the last time I chatted with you. Fluffington told me he’s been doing a lot of thinking about how he has been treating others this season and that he wanted to invite me for tea to make up for losing his temper last week. Well, readers, you know how I just LOVE tea. And teacups. Have I ever mentioned my love of teacups? But I digress. Well, I went over to Fluffington’s and I must say, his mansion was absolutely overflowing with holiday spirit! Fluffington seemed shocked how much I liked it. He said he had really thought the decor wasn’t grand enough and he was sure I would look down my nose at it. I told him that if there was ever a time to cut loose and have some fun, the holidays were it! You know, readers, even I’ve been known to let down MY hair at the holidays! Why, you should have seen me cut a rug back in my day. As I told Fluffington, I thought the place looked just lovely … Read more
A ‘Kinz Christmas Party

Nibbles Hippo here, reporting on the ‘Kinz Christmas party! Cowabelle brought a delicious plate of sugar cookies to share. She seems SO much happier these days. She couldn’t stop talking about the soup kitchen. It’s great to see the old Cowabelle back. Roberta’s picture frames were quickly filled with silly pictures we took and printed today. My favorite? Sparky with Christmas ornaments hanging from his ears. Salley brought her famous salsa and a whole lotta chips. Let’s just say I think I’m good to not eat until Christmas. A tired looking Molly arrived with her little sister Millie in tow. Apparently Millie BEGGED to come to the party. Surprisingly, Millie was actually pretty fun to have around. And when we had a popcorn-catching contest (in which players catch popcorn in their mouths), Millie was actually the best at it! Sparky had ornaments hung from his ears. And played video games. A lot. Stoogles also played video games, and then turned up the music and told us all we had to dance. He was the judge. According to him, he’s the best dancer. Alex was happy to be exempt from the dance competition … Read more

Alex’s Secret Santa

OK, everyone. So Christmas is almost here and I decided to get Molly a special gift. It wasn’t easy, because of the whole sprained ankle thing, but I’m almost one hundred percent better, so I convinced my mom to take me to the W Shop. I got Molly a hair clip that she said she wanted. And I wrote her this poem (I can’t believe I’m sharing this): Merry Christmas, dear Molly,I hope your holiday is great,I hope you have eggnog in your cup,And cookies on your plate. These gifts are for you,I hope you like them a lot,I’d sign my name here,But I’d rather not. And then I wrapped the gifts up and attached the note and went to Molly’s house. I left the gifts on her front porch. I don’t think anyone saw me drop them off (I hope not). Now I just have to wait and see what she thinks. Maybe one day I’ll tell her that I’m her secret Santa. Maybe not.

Fluffington’s Dining Room Gets Ready for Christmas
By Elwin Onto to the dining room! Fluffington seemed pretty happy with our bathroom makeover so we’re getting down to the final couple of rooms. Fluffington’s dining room is fairly understated. He’s got a lovely marble floor set off by a cool-hued striped wallpaper. He’s also got a nice seating area by the fireplace. We should try to play that up. And of course, being Fluffington’s place, there is a lot of gold and purple. We wanted to tie in our decorations to the color scheme that Fluffington already had and we thought that the High Class Christmas Tree would be perfect with its violet shades. We set it off with the Violet Persian Rug that we had removed from the living room. We used the Jolly Holiday Dining Table to introduce some Christmas colors into the room, but we tied in the cool tones by surrounding the table with the True Blue Dining Chairs. The Elegant Ice Fountain creates a lovely focal point in the corner, and the King’s Feast Dining Table offers an extra serving area, as does the Treats for Santakinz table. Guests can help … Read more

Alex Tiger, Tutor Extraordinaire!
Hi, it’s Alex. My paw is really feeling a lot better now. Thanks everyone, for your good wishes. That really helped. I just got back from Sparky’s house. We worked really hard to get ready for our big geography test. Poor Sparky. He hasn’t exactly been the best student this month. I know he’s been thinking more about Christmas than school, but just because the holidays are coming up doesn’t mean you can slack off. I think after he did so badly on his spelling test the other day it kind of hit home. Don’t tell him I said this, but even though he thinks he’s really good at spelling, he’s actually terrible! One of us usually proofreads his stories when he posts on here so you may not have noticed it before. Anyway, we usually cram really hard for our spelling tests but Sparky didn’t bother at all last time and he did terribly. I think he’s ready for the geography test though. We made review sheets and quizzed each other with flash cards. Sometimes when Sparky and I study we pretend to be playing Quizzy’s Corner and that it makes it much more fun. … Read more
Cowabelle and the Christmas Spirit

Hey everyone, Cowabelle here. OK, so first off, I think I ought to apologize. For what? For being wrong about what makes Christmas so special. Remember how I’ve been saying that it’s all about the presents? That all I want is…well…everything? I was so wrong. When I got home from school today, I had a HUGE fight with my mom. Mom basically told me that I was going to help her volunteer in the soup kitchen tonight, but I said “absolutely not!” I DID have plans. I was going to go back to the Curio Shop and show Sparky which rare theme I liked best. My mom FREAKED out and said that I’ve been spending every waking minute at a store or looking at catalogues and magazines, or talking about gifts or making my list. Which, now that I think about it, might be true. But at the time, I was mad. SO mad. I told my mom that I just wanted to have a good Christmas, and I was into the holiday spirit. She said that if I thought being greedy was part of the holiday, she felt bad … Read more
