CLICK HERE TO VISIT DORY
We’re having fun with Dory’s celebration of the month of December with everyone sharing how they celebrate Christmas! TODAY is my day – December 18th – and while I’m no longer HERE to celebrate Christmas with my Mom and Dad now that I’ve gone to the Rainbow Bridge, they are carrying on all the traditions we had as a family for my 17 years with them!
Always have our tree set up in the library!
Always have Dad’s train going round and round and I always snoopervise it!
Always I’m in the middle of EVERYTHING!
Always trying out the boxes!
Always hang our cards around the doorway.
So even though I’m now over the Rainbow Bridge and won’t be keeping Mom and Dad company in purrrrson this year, I will BE there…….watching……and giving them special Angel Love because they really do miss me like crazy. Some traditions just MUST go on and I highly approve of that!!!!
Thank you Dory for having this fabulous whole month full of Christmas fun and sharing…………………we are so glad to be a part of it and wish EVERYONE:
TWO Spoiled Cats 
Oh pal, we are so happy to hear your humans are carrying on with the same traditions – that is so important. Being an Angel, you can visit any time you want – they just can’t see you. Afterall, you still need to snoopervise the holiday celebrations.

Sammy, tears back in mommy’s eyes. She knows what you said for your mommy and daddy are just what she has felt too. Our parents are always so grateful for our love while we are with them and later. Admiral left remembrances over the house for mama to find. It made for smiles through the tears.

Yes we leave behind things and feelings and move of all love forever. Mom still hasn’t put away a lot of my things but then again she has hope in her heart that soon after Christmas she and Dad will visit the shelter and all of my old “stuff” will be NEW again for a cat they adopt. Christmas is all about love………..always.

It is important to keep traditions going Sammy, and I know you will be watching your mum and dad with love. When they look at the train they may at first think it has stopped in a different place than they left it, but then they will know.

Hi Pam: Sherri-Ellen here. I just want to say I admire your resolve to continue the Sammy traditions & go on. I completely folded when NYLABLUE went to Summerland. In fact, I do not decorate at all. Something went when she went & even having P SH with me, we have no tradition…..yet…..
Sending you gentle (((hugs))) of admiration, Sherri-Ellen ❤ ❤

Hi Siddhartha! I know that when Mom put this post together she had to go through a lot of old photos of me to pick the ones for the Hop…..and it was sad for her…but in the end, it just reminded her all over again about how much FUN the traditions were and how important they were…….you and Ladymum will make your OWN – when she’s ready! Love, Angel Uncle Sammy
Sherri-Ellen: Trust me – I didn’t think we could possibly decorate and carry on as usual after Sammy passed away but David and I decided it was a good way to honor our love for him. He loved everything about Christmas and would get so excited when we got the decoration boxes out, put up the tree, everything – so we did it for HIM, and in doing so, we wound up making it a happy occasion and realizing too how it lifted our spirits. I think you and Siddhartha can make the holiday your OWN – I have no doubt that Nylablue would WANT you to do that…..a celebration of LOVE! Hugs, Pam
