Our Advent Calendar



Yes, we have a furry spider on the top of our tree!

Beautiful Michelle, did you make it?

No, the calendar is dear Mum's work.

The spider came in a bag of catnip filled toys. Zebby claimed the plump Santa last Christmas. Poor Santa is now minus an eye, a belt and buckle, and his stuffing is coming out, so he's been very well loved.

I love your Advent Calendar. Mine is so threadbare and old that a new one is in order for next year...think I'm going to take a hint from yours!
Thanks for the good cheer for Mac...he says to say he appreciates all the good news he's getting from my blogging folk!
hugs
Sandi and the Stooges (and PYE of course)

Oo, I like that calendar, all the cats, just lovely. Is the stuff up to do with the numbers being back-to-front?

Well done Pip, I somehow flipped the photo on the laptop!

That is the cutest advent calendar I've ever seen. Well done Mom!

And ya - I bet it was made with Zebby cat in mind. I laughed at all the little things sticking out.

And here I thought all advent calendars had little bits of chocolate behind doors or something. (we never had one as children so I didn't know what they were until a couple of years ago)

Aw, it's all kittycats! Except for the spider. My cat Fred used to capture and eat spiders for me. But Fred never had an advent calendar.

absolutely beautiful - you have a very special mum

Thanks for the lovely comments everyone. I'll show them all to Mum.

I put little catnip mice in some of the pockets - the closest to a mouse Zebbycat will ever manage!
