Mysterious things are afoot around here lately. I’m not afraid to report them or question some decisions my Mom and Dad have made. Like on yesterday. Yesterday was Sunday and that usually means Mom gets up in the middle of the night to assure her work sleep schedule isn’t “out of whack,” whatever that means.

But she didn’t. She slept and slept and slept some more, even after when she got up briefly with Dad to look at the puffy white snow stuff that fell overnight by everyone’s surprise, including the local weather people who we all question anyway. My Mom didn’t go outside, she didn’t pull on shoes and stand out in the snow in her pajamas like she usually does. She just looked out the window for a while and went back to bed. Hmm.

Then, yesterday, Mom and Dad celebrated Christmas because my Dad has to work all this week including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Mom says I can celebrate real Christmas with her since she’ll be home all week but I like it better when my Dad is home, too. Not this year, my Mom said. This year her and Dad’s lives has switched and she’s home for the holidays and Dad has to work. What kind of world has this become? I have a weird Dad.

Then, some people came to the door and took a BIG box Mom had pulled out the closet that had something called a Christmas tree in it. I’ve never seen a Christmas tree and my Mom says that’s perfectly fine with her because Christmas trees and cats don’t get along. And then she looked at my sister Tessa who squinted her eyes at Mom and looked pretty smug if you ask me. I’m not sure but I think that meant something only Tessa and Mom know about. I have a weird sister.

And later still, while I was still hiding from the visitors relaxing in a bedroom, Mom traipsed in with paint brush and bucket in hand and announced I could stay to watch her paint the walls. Really, Mom? You’re off for the holiday week and you’re going to spend it, not resting, not sleeping, not petting and brushing me, but painting walls? I have a weird Mom.

In a nutshell, it’s a weird, mysterious holiday season this year. You’re not going to convinced me otherwise.
