    Ora Zella channeling her inner Elton John is both adorable and weird. So I approve! And do my eyes deceive me, or did Santa get big again in panel 3 then small again in panel 4?

    And we have: Not one, not two, but FOUR panels with a joyous Ora Zella!

    Have we been good enough to deserve this?

    There’s a good girl. We knew it all along!

    (He could have gotten himself out of there, unless glass is his secret weakness – or, more realistically in a house with cats, clear plastic. Sweet of him to let her play out the script!)

    Ora has been wishing for a tiny Santa and Santa is right on top of kids’ wishes. So I would say that she is getting her wish.

    I will never hear that song the same again, and that’s a good thing! Also the size change thing is probably a perspective thing but I think that I’ll go with what uncle snipe said too.

    I still say he hasn’t been there all that time or someone would have noticed. That he came back after making his rounds just for OZ and that he could have gotten himself out just by making himself big again but he wanted to make her happy which he did :)

    OK, You Got It

    Night gown baby,

    Tortie Lady

    Waiting patiently for St. Nick

    Pretty eyes, lovely smile

    Chaos waits at every tick!

    …….

    All night she’s waited

    Cookies all plated

    Wondering what the evening has in store!

    …….

    His arrival, he is here now

    A slight mishap has ensued

    …….

    And now she knows that Santa’s real

    She can’t contain the joy she feels

    As she meows joyfully, happily!

    Hold me closer tiny Santa

    You bring me so much joy!

    Let there be treats of lots of tuna!

    And maybe a few cat toys!

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    Captain Horatio of the good ship Red Planet Spider: Permission to dock, sir.

    Harbor Master Antef: Permission granted, and welcome! We have sent word of your arrival to the Palace where a sumptuous feast awaits!

    Captain Horatio: You are most gracious!

    Sometime Later, at the Palace

    Serfig-Aro: It gives me great pleasure to announce the arrival of Captain Horatio and the officers and crew of the Red Planet Spider.

    Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Welcome, Noble Sefarers! My staff and I invite you to dine with us with a meal of fresh caught tilapia.

    Captain Horatio: Thank you, Your Majesty. You are most gracious.

    Thomios: For the first course we have Tiny Tilapia done three ways, beautifully done vegetables, and Trevor-Hotep’s special Yuletide Potatoes. For dessert we will have Chocolate Everything along with an If You’re Not in the Mood for Chocolate (It happens) dessert tray.

    Sometime Even Later

    Iggy Shipwright: For your entertainment pleasure, Iron Glove, Wally, and I will join with Ora Zed and Mallets Towards None for a medley of tunes. And I would like to invite my cousin, Ziggy Starcross to join us!

    Ziggy: I just happen to have my guitar ready. Why waste an opportunity?

    Iggy: Alright! Let’s begin!

    Let’s shred!

    Grab tons of papyrus and tear them into bits!

    Let’s chop!

    Show our chops and go and chop everything in sight!

    Let’s run!

    Let’s all run and zoom all over the place!

    And if you say run I’ll run around with you

    And if you say hide we’ll hide

    And jump out and pounce when the time is opportune!

    Let’s Shred!

    Taking care of yourself is the first priority. And I have found that streaming my church service can be really nice and comforting. Wrap up in a blanket, hot cuppa tea or coffee, snuggle the nearest cat, and sing along if you can. I love Christmas carols and just listening to them gives me comfort. Boops and hugs from Gracie and me.

    Shouldn’t that be “NOT the first time a milk glass ever landed on me”? After all, kids and smoll beings have been trying to trap Santa for centuries.

    Bonus Track: Andrew Lloyd Webber

    Since the acronym PotP has caused a bit of confusion, The Phantom of the Opera has graciously consented to sing an explanation.

    When misfortune or grief or sorrow threatens,

    There’s a source of comfort, you can depend

    When nothing seems to make sense,

    Let sorrow be in past tense,

    Bring your troubles here and one and all

    Will send thoughts and prayers and Power of the Paw!

    …….

    When there’s joy, and happiness abounding,

    Come and share and double joy surrounding

    Whatever you may say we will help you through the day

    There is really so much wisdom for us all!

    Just come and share the Power of the Paw!

    …….

    Come and join us in this lovely feline world

    Do not worry about being thought as weird!

    We accept and we will never judge!

    And you’ll find thing become much more clear!

    …….

    All are welcome, share your joy and sorrow!

    Gives you strength to get through ’till the morrow!

    Let the dream begin, let the better days all win

    We are with you, no matter what may befall!

    Come share with us the Power of the Paw!
