Christmas Time

The family stayed up very late on Christmas Eve. This was why nobody was awake Christmas morning until after 10:00am. Very unusual. There was an abundance of gifts under the tree. The main gift this year was the Xbox 360 Kinect that Momoko got for the whole family.

We knew the Kinect was coming. So we asked some peeps to buy us Kinect games. The family is thinking that some of the cash we got for Christmas will go towards new Kinect games.

My family is coming over my house for Christmas dinner. Therefore I decided we should not set up the Xbox Kinect yet. We have a lot of cooking still to do. The cooking has be divided up among the family. In all the commotion, we forgot to eat breakfast. Little Kat and I are getting quite hungry.

The Year of the Camera

Momoko woke up around 9am on Christmas morning. I was tired because I stayed up late Christmas eve. She found the kids still in their bedrooms. However they were both awake.

Little Kat came outside my bedroom door and started knocking. He only knew that he was supposed to know. I told him to go away. Later he came back to tell me the family was waiting on me to open Christmas gifts.

Kit Kat got the most present by count. However it seems everybody was getting cameras this year. Kit Kat got a purple digital picture camera. While Little Kat got a digital video camera.

It seems even Momoko's niece AmKat came with a new Cannon camera. However that's a story for another blog post.

Thug Life

Being Christmas eve, I had to drop off some gifts today. I brought Little Kat along for the ride. Momoko assigned me the task of picking up dinner for the family. I took orders from the family for Chinese food. I figured I would go to our favorite take out restaurant.

I was disturbed to find our favorite take out restaurant was closed. So Little Kat and I went to a Chinese food restaurant in the hood. Turns out this place is actually a liquor store that served Chinese food on the side. Little Kat said he was scared. There were a couple times where I planned out my moves in case some cats got out of line.

Both Little Kat and I noticed one dude who looked like he was about to steal some beer from the store. Luckily at the last minute he came back and returned the booze. When we got our order, we high tailed it out of the liquor store. We will not be going back there any time soon. The food tasted ok. It was our lives we were fearing for.

Birthday Celebration

My boss is out of town. In fact, he is out of the country. So I am doing my job and his. Therefore I had to get in early today. The only good thing about getting in early was that I could get a lot done. In the mid day, a lot of people visit and call me for help. So progress is slow.

Since I got such a good head start on the day, I was able to leave a little early. I got home and it was still bright. Whenever this happens, I go out to work in the yard. After a while, Little Kat came out and helped me. Even Mamma Kat came out for some support.

Kit Kat would have helped. But she was getting the house ready for her friends. Two of them are spending the night. Tomorrow we all go camping together. After dinner, Kit Kat and I opened a bunch of gifts we received. I got a number of books, shirts, videos, and other creative gifts. I'm not going to say how old I am. But I am no spring chicken any more.
