I hope that all of you are having a wonderful and relaxing holiday season; thank you all so much for reading, commenting, emailing, and lurking. We appreciate you all so very much, especially in years like this, which turned out to be harder than we could ever have expected. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and I’ll see you on Monday!

This year’s Crooked Acres covergirl was…
On the back of the card, it said:
(Shhhh, don’t tell the kids!)
All of us here at Crooked Acres wish you and yours a wonderful holiday, and a happy and healthy 2016!
I’ll admit that putting together this year’s card was pretty rushed – the end of October took me by surprise, and I knew I had to get something done before I had shoulder surgery. Stinkerbelle was completely, 100% not cooperating. I wish I could have gotten a picture with her face showing, but I took what I could get.
Also, all the cards I’ve received from y’all have been opened, admired, scanned, and posted over at Flickr. Seriously, thank you guys SO MUCH for the cards, I always love opening and reading them!

Here are the Christmas cards from years past (starting with the oldest).
Mister Boogers from 2004 or 2005.
Tommy in 2009. That look he was giving me still cracks me UP.

Other Christmas images that weren’t cards but could have been!
Sugarbutt in 2005. Hard to believe he was ever that little.
Reacher. I love this picture.
And Tubby, from 2001 or 2002.
Stinkerbelle and Tommy in 2012.
Charlie and Patty Peppers, 2011.

UC Davis study shows calico and tortoiseshell female cats are the most challenging.
Merry Christmas Robyn and the Crooked Acres gang!
Thinking about you with those storms and hope you are all safe.
I think Charlie and Patty Peppers, 2011. is my favorite.
Merry Christmas
My first card was Miz Poo, and it’s still my favorite!
I still miss Tubby, though we never even met in real life. Thanks for all the smiles over the years! I’m sorry this year was tough, and I won’t jinx next year by saying it has to be better, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Happy Holidays!
This years card made me laugh and laugh! I love it! Seeing it here again made me laugh again! It’s the tongue that sells it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!
Merry Christmas to Fred, Robyn, and all the Crooked Acres furry friends! Thank you for all of the happiness you bring.
