Boxing Day and Poetic Thankful Thursday

 


Reesie says the gifts are great and the boxes are even better!!




Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats



Today's photo prompt is

The Christmas Lights

We're glad this isn't our house.
These lights could scare off a mouse.
We'll be taking things down isn't fun.
The boxes they're in must weigh a ton.
We'll have to admit it is quite a sight.
They had to have fun on Christmas night!

Today is also Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!


We're THANKFUL Santa didn't see us when we were naughty!!!

The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

As she always did on Tuesdays, Periwinkle waited by the Teleportation Tunnel for the arrival of her fiance, Stinky.  She had something special planned today so he was arriving later than normal. She didn't have to wait long because, with a WOOSH, he tumbled out into her waiting paws.  They spent time whisker kissing, paw patting, and catching up on the last week.   One of the week's highlights (other than their Tuesday Adventure) was the arrival of Santa on a firetruck at Periwnkle's house.  Periwinkle told Stinky she had her Mom video Santa so she could share it with Stinky and with all of their followers.   

Unfortunately, YouTube makes everything under 3 minutes into a "short" so we can only share the link.  Click HERE to see Santa.  Periwinkle did get some photos of Santa and the truck.

Stinky was impurressed and they discussed how impawtent it is to be extra good and not naughty this time of year.  Since it was still light out, they decided to visit a couple of non-lighted Christmas displays.

No surprise to Periwinkle, Stinky ran onto the roof when he saw this display. Periwinkle rolled her eyes and quietly sighed.

There were lots of snowmen and Santa decorations at this house...


Their friend Rudy and the rest of the decorations at his house were not inflated so Periwinkle said she would keep going by to see them when they were ready.


Next, they saw this dolphin mailbox dressed as Mrs. Claus.  "That reminds me, I hope we get to see the manatees this year," said Stinky.  Periwinkle giggled and said that her Mom took a photo of Noelle and said she looked like a manatee. Stinky promised not to share that with Noelle.  

Stinky enjoyed chatting with Santa Skelly!

They were disappointed that the blow-ups were not inflated at this house since there are lots of them.



They had a little time before it got dark out so the tabbies decided to have a quick snack.  Periwinkle was glad she found the Christmas Temptations for them.


As soon as they finished their snack, they hopped into Periwinkle's Mom's car to see the lighted decorations.  The first stop was a visit to Jack Skellington...

Stinky couldn't resist getting close to Yeti.  Periwinkle reminded him Santa was watching and he quickly got down.


There were lots of other festive yards...



They saw this opportunity to take a memory photo...


They HAD to do it...


Of course, it would not be Christmas if they didn't ride down Candy Cane Lane to see the super decorations there.  The video is long (and some annoying girls are yelling in the background) but we hope you enjoy it!
 

When they got back to Periwinkle's house they spent time whisker kissing and paw patting.  Stinky visited with Periwinkle's fursibs and then entered the tunnel to head home.  Stinky promised not to be naughty.  They were both looking forward to next week's Adventure since it will be Christmas Eve!

The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky


 Periwinkle felt festive as she waited for Stinky's arrival while sitting under the Christmas Tree.  She couldn't wait for him to arrive because she loved the time they got to spend together.

Soon she saw the Teleportation Tunnel start to shake and, with a WOOOSH, Stinky tumbled out and landed right in her paws.  They spent time whisker kissing and paw patting and enjoying the tree and the decorations.   Finally, Stinky asked what the plan was since he was there at night and not during the day like he usually was..  Periwinkle said they were going to see the Christmas lights.  "Great, I was hoping that's what we would do today" said Stinky.

They hopped into Periwinkle's Mom's car and off they went.
 

"I hope we see all those fun blow-ups like we did last year," said Stinky.  Periwinkle explained that there was a lot of wind for the previous few days and many of the blow-ups were taken down so they might not see as many as they did last year.  As they drove Periwinkle pointed out a blow-up of Rudolph that was down...

They were both sad that they couldn't see Rudolph but Periwinkle said she would keep checking and send him a photo if Rudolph was re-inflated.

They took photos with some of the decorations...




Suddenly, Periwinkle saw Stinky run off.  Of course, she knew EXACTLY what he was going to do...

She rolled her eyes as she said "STINKY, please get down NOW."  Stinky quickly came down and apologized for his behavior.  Periwinkle said, "Don't forget that Santa is watching everything we do, you don't want coal in your stocking, do you?"  Stinky agreed he was impulsive and promised not to do anything naughty.

They soon reached their favorite part of the Christmas lights, the "Christmas street" also called Verbenia drive.   They drove through and took a video...



Both tabbies were happy to see the donation box and Periwinkle reminded Stinky that Santa visits this spot on Christmas Eve.


Back at Periwinkle's house, Stinky was amazed at the packages of gifts that were already at her house.  He asked her if Santa had already come and she explained that these were all gifts for children in foster care that her Mom is the Guardian ad Litem for...


Once again, Stinky could not help himself and jumped up to the Christmas House village...


It was almost time for Stinky to head home.  They enjoyed a snack of holiday Temptations, snuggled and shared whisker kisses and paw pats.


Before Stinky left, Periwinkle wanted to do a fun game of finding their Elf names.  They decided to use their Gotcha months to find their names since neither knew their actual birth dates.

They both giggled at their names.   Periwinkle's name is Joyful Cookies and Stinky's name is Starry Jingle.

With one last whisker kiss, Stinky entered the Teleportation Tunnel, wished Periwinkle and her fursibs and Mom a Merry Christmas and headed home.

What's your Elf name?
