   T'was the eve of Christmas Eve...

   And four miniature horses are hitched up to Rotley's beautiful new red sleigh, his most favorite birthday present. Rotley wears a top hat, trimmed with holly, and a long coat, looking exactly like a Victorian gentlecat.

   Thor is helping him with the ponies, Ruggles is adjusting his own dark brown top hat -- he has mistletoe in the brim! -- and his matching velvet coat. The boys have had "A Christmas Carol" read to them last night, and it shows.

   Ruggles has begun to pack the hamper with the song sheets, the thermos of Christmas tea, and the tiny biscuits Emma made in order that no singers will feel faint while they carol

   Won't you join the lads? They have been running up and down the stairs all day, giggling with delight, and saying over and over, "What a treat!" The preparations for the party have been going on all day long!

   The snow is falling softly, the sky is darkening, and the cat hole next to the sleigh is starting to open...

   "Nephew!" exclaims Rotley, sweeping MaxMax into his arms. MaxMax clears his throat and the notes of "Silent Night" sound over the snow.

   Emma hugs Maxie, and Ruggles admires his lovely red velvet Santa hat.

   "Handsome!" and Ruggles smiles happily.

   Fred puts on his top hat and his jacket with a nice sweater and pants, Cricket puts on her winter whites with accents of red with a nice red hat and boots. They jump through the cat hole to see Ruggles and Rotley and Max at the sleigh. They all hug and look to see whom else is coming

   "Do you see Windi or Willow?" calls Ruggles through the cat hole.

   "I hope they will be here," says Rotley.

   "But look at Fred and Cricket and Max -- it's a feline version of Dickens!" and Ruggles hugs all of them.

   Thor, who is dressed in gray, passes out sprigs of holly and white Christmas roses to all. How handsome he looks!

   Willow and Windi zip into the closet to look for the Victorian dresses they had mama sew for the caroling party!

   Willow's dress is a deep burgundy color and is trimmed in (fake) fur of white at the collar, which fits close around her neck so that she won't get cold, and also at the hem of the dress. The buttons down the front of the dress are also fur and she has a bonnet on with the fur on the inside to keep her ears warm. To complete her ensemble, she has a large white fur muff to put her paws in.

   Windi has the same outfit but in an emerald green. She's a bit miffed at being dressed just like her sister, but mama only had one pattern! Mama assures her that she looks absolutely beautiful. Just to be a bit different than her sister, Windi pins a little bouquet of holly at the throat of her gown.

   They both have on little white boots in soft leather and mama has put on their long underwear under their gowns. After all, these are Texas girls and are not accustomed to cold weather!

   Windi has prepared a song book and has made copies for everyone at the party. She has wisely left out one of her favorites, "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer". But she is secretly hoping that they might sing the Chipmunk Christmas song and is hoping that she can sing Alvin's part.

   Mama packs a basket for the girls to take. Hot nip tea; marinated herring; cheese puffs; and some nice hot turkey soup. For Emma the girls are bringing a fresh bouquet of Texas yellow roses, some mulled wine, brownies with peppermint icing and a silver bracelet with the star of Texas dangling from the slender band.

   Mama tucks a hankie in each of the girls muffs, gives them a kiss and sends them off to Ruggles and Rotley for a night of caroling!

   In case anyone wants to practice, Windi's song book includes these songs that are very popular with kits.

   George tugs at his red and green plaid vest and smooths his whiskers as he steps into the wormhole; he wants to look nice for his friends!

   Hrmph....lalala...doremifasolatido...

   I think he's all warmed up now.

   Willow and Windi look in amazement at Georgie, who is looking quite dapper. And they are very impressed with his baritone voice!

   Windi, ever the worrier, hands Georgie a pawful of Greenies and tells him to munch on one, should he feel like attacking anyone.

   Posted 1 year ago by WillowandWindismom #

10. 

    I'll be good, I promise! says George. C'mon, guys, you know I only attack my mom! <George pouts a little at his undeserved reputation as an ankle biter - everyone except Mom always says what an angel he is...>

    George reaches back into the wormhole and drags through an insulated bag with Thermoses of hot chocolate and catnip tea.

    Willow gives her sister a withering look and goes to George to give his face a little wash. "Of course you aren't an ankle biter, Georgie", she reassures him.

    Rotley and Ruggles help their dearest ladies into the sleigh. "You look so beautiful!" Ruggles whispers to Willow, and Rotley gives Windi a rose to pin on her muff -- and a kiss!

    "MaxMax, lad, help the others into the sleigh!" commands Thor, holding the whip. It is made of red silk ribbons, and the lightest touch on the ponies' backs will start them trotting.

    A few voices in the back are singing mememememe, and George displays a resonant baritone.

    Fred and Crickett fill in with some two-part harmony, and everyone scrambles through the sheet music to select the first carol.

    The snow is still falling, and the flakes on Windi's bonnet are entrancing to Rotley.

    "Who will sing tenor?" asks Windi. Her eyes widen, as MaxMax does a perfect trill!

    Willow nuzzles Ruggles and ties a burgundy ribbon that matches her dress around his right paw. She thinks that Ruggles looks so handsome tonight and she wants to capture the moment.

    Willow runs over to Emma, hands her a tiny camera and asks if a portrait can be made of all the kits.

    Windi listens to MaxMax's beautiful voice and thinks that no music is as beautiful as Christmas music!

    WWM peers through the wormhole and tells her girls that she must go into the kitchen and do some work on dinner. But she hears beautiful, happy kitty voices and knows that they won't even miss her.......

    Yay! A good old fashioned caroling party! Tikka is very excited, and is also dressed in deep burgundy velvet, Victorian style. Rather than fur, her outfit is trimmed with antique ivory lace, although her muff is made from fur that matches the lace. Tikka practices her singing - "MeMeMeMeMe-oooowwwwww!". She dashes to the sleigh and hops in, ready to start singing!

    Bog, Clark and Andy rush through the cat hole.

    "I hope we aren't too late!" Clark looks anxiously around for his beloved Cricket..

    Andy runs to Uncle Rotley! HI! and a big hug to Uncle Ruggles!

    The boys are all dressed in their best Christmas clothes. Bog looks dashing in his three piece wool suit. Clark is handsome in a pair of pants and a sweater and Andy is in a pair of pants and a little jacket with a bit of holly pinned at the lapel. Meowma says that they all look wonderful!

    Off they go with a chocolate cheesecake and treats for the non furry party goers and catnip cookies for the furry family members.

    Sophie and Molly put on pretty christmas dresses. A lovely red plaid taffeta for Sophie and blue velvet to match her eyes for Molly. They wear pretty faux fur jackets and hats to keep their ears warm. They are a little somber because Tessie isn't with them but Meowmy thinks it is right for them to go out and enjoy the party. They had been looking forward to it for a long time it seemed.

    Wishes, Thor's younger brother, walks slowly to the sleigh. He doesn't get out as much as Thor, who is a true bon vivant, and so he is a bit bashful. Thor, however, suggested he join the party, and so he is here now.

    His suit is black, and Wishes sweeps his soft fedora off his head with one quick gray paw.

    "Ladies," he tells Sophie and Molly, "I am so sorry for your loss. Since I do not see an escort for you, and I know that at this time your mother would greatly appreciate one for you, may I have the honor?" Wishes bows to them, his aqua eyes blinking shyly. They are both so pretty, they quite take his breath away!

    Okay Am I doing good Uncles Rottly, Ruggles and Thor? Why thank you Windi Mama taught me how to stay in tune! She says I am way better then her but I love singing!

    And he is so handsome he takes their breath away. Molly is shy and giggles as she tries to hide behing Sophie. Sophie wants to smack her but doesn't want to do so in front of the elegant Wishes. " Thank you for your condolences, sir and we'd be honored to have you for an escort" she smiles at him and Molly peeks around her sister to get another look.

    Wishes bows, blushing, and helps both beautiful ladycats into the sleigh.

    Thor looks back, winks at Rotley and Ruggles, and cries, "We're off!"

    The silken whip flashes in the starlight, and the ponies start to pick up their hooves, cantering easily over the powdery snow.

    The lanterns shine on the white dazzle under the runners, and Thor calls back over his shoulder to the carolers:

    "Where do we stop first? Do we need to pick up anyone?"

    Molly can hardly take her eyes off Wishes. Of course if he happens to look her way she looks away quickly and blushes. Sophie loves the feel of the wind rusing by her and gazes up at the beautiful stars. She speaks to Wishes once in a while but is content to be in the moment of peace and beauty

    "Si-i-lent night, ho-o-ly night, all is calm, all is bright..."

    The soft harmonies continue, and the world rushes by under the sleigh's silver runners. Stars wheel and turn above them, and the flakes sift down gently.

    Soon, the kits know, the sleigh will turn back to Emma's home, and the fireplace and hot chocolate and jammies and a sleepover in the family room with the Christmas tree on, and parents with flutes of cranberry champagne punch and nibbles on trays.

    But for now, right now, they are all elegantly dressed, loved completely, cuddled close with each other in a rushing sleigh, singing at the top of their tiny lungs, and laughing all the way.

    Laughing all the way!

    Willow puts her paws around Ruggles and thinks that at Christmas, at least, all is right with the world.

    Windi is mesmerized by the beautiful harmony of the kitties singing. She stares at the night sky with Rotley and notices one star is strangely bright......

    Pout! Wish my Athena was here! Max sits by himself on the horseys since there was no more room in the sleigh! Glances back! Oh well least I don't have to hear the pecks and kissing noises up here!

    Then he starts singing Oh Little Star of Beth-le-hem!!!!!! Think of his Athena as his Guiding star on such a brisk night full of cozy beauty!

    .....Abby runs over..... "Can I sit with you Max?... the sleigh is full!!! She has on a parka that has a "Hawaiian" print all over it..... Pink fluffy ear muffs keep her ears warm, and white mittens with each "fingernail" a different color cover her paws......starts to hum softly "oh Little Star of Bethlehem"...

    Sleigh rides not Cuddles thing? I still laugh when I think of her vet visit. Molly and Sophie are totally enjoying there sleigh ride and the party. Molly has gotten brave enough to talk to wishes a little. She tells him how she was helping Meowmy pack.
