What a great day. After stressing out about the meal for the last week, everyone liked everything. I aimed this menu straight at my BIL this time: Beef, Crabcakes. And my SIL: Healthy Veggies! So good to see the plates empty, the only measure I use for satisfying my base.
My baby niece has turned into a delightful adult, and we hit the target with her gift, something that made her want to talk to us even more. We had a good long afternoon together, and I did not have to spend most of my time in the kitchen! We know we disagree on politics, and nobody bridged that gap, we had plenty of other things to share! I am running on but I am just so happy and relaxed at the end of this Christmas Day. Merry Christmas!
Good morning and happy Boxing Day, orbsters and orbabies! I hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday and got heaps of goodies, which you all deserve. Paul and I had a wonderful day with family and made out like gangbusters.
I tried to share a picture of my cat Sebastian in his Sebby Paws persona yesterday, but I failed. So I’m trying again today, and hopefully this time it’ll work:
Hi, all! After seeing family members presents, I discovered a really funny thing for kids. It’s called a “Sarcastic 9 Ball.” Like a magic 8 ball , but says things like, “Battery low,” “Well duh,” and “Ask someone who cares.” Happy Boxing Day!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to the Orb. I got sprung from the hospital yesterday an d found 5 of my 8 adult children and my 2 best friends at my house along with hubby to celebrate Christmas with me. I gave BCN calendars to 2 delighted recipients and hubby gave one to me. How wonderful to be home. On Christmas eve I spent 3 hours singing Christmas songs along with concerts on PBS while hubby conducted the midnight service at our church. The televised concerts were a real blessing. I hope those of you who wished to were able to worship and celebrate. Biskits

Oh Elvis, it’s a useful gift. Enjoy them. Every else is happy with their presents.

Purrfect gifts for everyone! (Evidently Elvis is not amused!)

Such thoughtful gifts from the robber mice! And what cheese loving mice could resist a box of cheese crackers?

Cheer up, Elvis, it’s the thought that counts.

Ah, just as I hoped! Now the Robber Mice can celebrate by singing one of their favorite holiday songs – “What a Friend We Have in Cheeses”.

I don’t like Lupin giving a present that hurt Elvis.

In the last panel, is it all for one?

Natasha’s looking to patch things with Elvis whilst Lupin wants to keep needling him…

Bets on how long it will take Lupin to get himself tangled in a cat’s cradle knot?

Are the People now missing a box of cheese crackers, a package of needles and a box of Band Aids?

OK, most of these gifts are sweet, but giving more needles to the mouse who stabbed Elvis is not wise.

Does Lupin enjoy seeing Elvis get hurt? I’m referring to the gift he gave.

I hope Lupin isn’t what our vet called a “linear eater.”

At least it wasn’t Elvis’s left paw that got hurt. Small comfort, I know, but it could have been worse…

It’s easy to give gifts when you aren’t paying for them. It really is the thought that counts.

Question, why are all the Robber Mice women?
Andylit Premium Member almost 6 years ago
I’m not sure weaponizing the mice is the wisest course of action.

All of the robber mice look so cute in their dresses or nighties instead of striped criminal gear!

Where’s Robin today? Missing my daily dose of the Orb’s answer to Eeyore.
