On Christmas Eve I went up to San Jose and went to Melita's church, St. Andrew's Episcopal in Saratoga, for the Christmas Eve service, featuring hymns done by the talented choir and instrumental ensemble such as O Come, All Ye Faithful and Silent Night. Christmas Day I opened presents with my dad and Melita. I got my dad a pair of walnut salt/pepper shakers from Brinton's and Melita a green enamel frog pin. Then we went to Melita's daughter Zita's house, where we had lunch, opened more presents, watched Mamma Mia!, and had dinner. The next day I celebrated Christmas with my mom and Brian. I got my mom a pair of books and Brian a jumbo level and stud sensor. We made a "scrünchi mouse" mouse cat toy for Checkers out of a hair scrunchy with felt ears, a puff nose, and a shoelace tail (I took a video which I will post on YouTube). Some of my presents included some really nice photography books, some money (to put toward a dSLR), and an 8GB thumb drive.

Morgan
For the next couple of days, we will be taking care of the tortoiseshell cat next door, Morgan. Her owners moved in a few months ago and Checkers immediately discovered her out the window. For a while, they've been staring at each other through the windows of each house and later warily greeting each other outside.

Checkers in the Sun
Here's a really awesome picture of Checkers on my bed basking in the sun. We have it as our desktop background now.

Checkers' Carrot
We got Checkers a new toy: a wicker carrot filled with beans. It's actually meant for rabbits, but he likes it just the same.

Check with a Check
I took this photo a while back of Checkers... with a check. This was actually the entry fee for an upcoming music festival in Milpitas.The only editing in Photoshop was removing the bank account number, for obvious reasons.

Today was Checkers' birthday. We got him over a year ago when he was only 11 mos. old.
