Last step before Christmas

The countdown until Christmas is always the same at our home :
At the end of November, we send our greeting cards to our friends overseas, Claire makes the Advent wreath, and she bakes small Christmas Cake to offer.
At the beginning of December, we send our greeting cards to our family in France and in Italy and to our European friends, we decorate our Christmas tree, and Claire and Momo install the bright decorations outside.
In the middle of December, we send our greeting cards to our family and to our friends in Switzerland.

And one week before Christmas, Claire bakes the Christmas biscuits.

Talking about biscuits, the last book of our talented friend Deb Barnes « Makin’ biscuits » features many of our friends ; that book is about « weird cat habits and even weirder habits of the humans who love them », and it’s a great gift idea. Our friends Caren and Cody wrote a wonderful review, check it out !

Christmas market

Claire and Momo abandoned us on Wednesday afternoon, but it was for a good cause : they went first to the Haut-Léman shelter to bring our present. There was a litter box, toys, a tunnel, two cups with a cat design, washing liquid, and stamps. Martine, the person in charge, was very happy !

They then went to the Christmas market of Montreux : it was magnificent. Here are some photos :

And look at what they had made by a craftsman (20 x 20 cm – 8 x 8 in) : Claire just repainted Pixie with the good colors, and added some hair to Momo, because he cared a lot about it. Nice, isn’t it ?
