So I bet ya want to know how you can enter? Well...we tried to come up with a number of things and we decided to make it as easy as possible. We didn't want to make this exclusive to any one holiday...there are some kitties who don't have  ornaments, some kitties don't make latkes, some kitties don't decorate a tree, some kitties don't light a  menorah, some kitties don't believe in  Santa (and he doesn't  come to their homes!) and some kitties don't play with a  Dreidel!

Being the EOE (Equal Oppurr-tunity) folks that we are, (blame it on Mom's former newspaper advertising position, where if you didn't practice the principles of EOE you were pretty much dead in the water), we want to learn about all of YOUR holiday traditions! 

So....leave a comment telling us what YOUR favorite HOLIDAY tradition is! We wanna know! (Also leave a way for us to contact you, we don't feel like contacting the FBI to track you down). Leave your comment by MONDAY DECEMBER 10TH at 5PM EASTERN. WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12TH!!

GOOD LUCK!!

Love, Cody

In full disclosure for all of you kitties out there who think I am rolling in loot, think again! Mom and I have been planning this give-away since LAST APRIL. Yep, you got it! Since LAST APRIL and guess what? I got prezzies last April from Creme de la Cat but for this give-away I didn't get any...they are ALL FOR YOU! Now put THAT in your bowls and nibble on THAT for awhile!

A Special Holiday Message from ChazzTheDog

From Cat Chat: I read this post from my buddy Chazz  on his blog  ADOPTED MOM TO CHAZZ and it resonated with me. It made such an impression that I asked Chazz's Mom if I may re-post this. She graciously gave me her permission.  This holiday season let's celebrate and welcome our differences. Let's learn from each others' traditions. Let's expand our frame of reference to include everyone. It should be a joyous time of year for us all.   I am proud to welcome ChazzTheDog to our blog today as our guest blogger. Enjoy his post! The photo of the cats below...is from US (we had found it a few years ago on the web...can't remember where!)




HOLIDAY GREETINGS

 from ChazzTheDog

Pawwaves to all my pals. I wanted to take this time,
 as the days get busier and go quickly, to wish you all:

Happy Holidays!

It is important at this time of the year to enjoy your family and furriends; to gather for food, music, and celebration – whatever your traditions. To remember with fond memories those who have left us in body; but always remain in our hearts in spirit. We never lose the love we have for them – never.

And let us remember that while we all belong to different families, we are all part of a bigger family. We  all share the important things. To have a furever home, to be loved and give love.

Let me tell you a short story: About two years ago when i first came to make this blog; I was asked to join a Dog & Kitteh Christmas Choir. I was very pawcited to be asked to join the group.  But I thought I had better tell them that i don’t celebrate Christmas, because I’m Jewish. Now that didn’t mean I didn’t know all the words to the Christmas Carols, because I do…and I wanted to be in da singing group.  They said that was okay, I could be in da group even though I celebrate Chanukah. We should respect everybody’s personal traditions cause that’s what they believe.

 Just because people (or dogs) were raised in different cultures doesn’t mean we can’t respect them when they are different then us…

So that’s my  message as we enter this Holiday Season. Shopping, cooking, baking,  wrapping presents, will keep us all very busy in these days leading up to the end of the year and through New Year’s 2013.  But it is also important to remember these things. Peace, Love, and Harmony. It’s mostly all we have to give to one another.

Happy Holidays,
ChazzTheDog
