Mixed Blessings

It occurred to me that I could give all of you a seasonal card. So here it is.

To all of my LJ friends,

Thank you, that's very seasonal.

[vilakins]

I liked it! There's no snow so it could be here (or in Forida or New Mexico) too.

[vilakins]

And look! There are candy canes and popcorn on the tree. I'd not heard of either custom, but there they are. :-)

[astrogirl2]

Candy canes on trees are very, very common in the US. And an excellent custom, IMO: decorations you can eat! Popcorn is less common (and you don't really want to eat it afterward), but I do remember stringing it for classroom decorations when I was a little kid.

Anyway, I saw this card earlier, and thought it was quite wonderful. Adorable Chrismanukah cats!

[vilakins]

And I'd never heard of the candy cane thing till I answered that meme and people responded to my puzzlement. I'm amused they're on the card, just to prove it to me.

I love your cats!

[vilakins]

Aren't they gorgeous! When I found them, I had to use them.

[matildabj]

Happy festive season to you, too!

[vilakins]

And may God bless you this next year.

I've applied for a job I want so much that I'm afraid to post about it because if it's like the others, I'll not even hear back (which I consider worse than being told someone else got it) so I know how you feel. Here's to both of us finding what we want.

[matildabj]

Yes, here's hoping!

[jhall1]

Fingers crossed for you.

[altariel]

Aw, they're lovely! A very happy holiday, Nico!

[vilakins]

Thank you!

I have bought human-grade tuna for the cats (and they bought us a book).

They are very clever kitties, aren't they? :D

[vilakins]

Clever enough to use my credit card too, yes!
