The holiday season is upon us. We critters just love to
celebrate them. However, we have never gotten caught up in the mass consumerism. I
am not persuaded by the fancy advertisements to part with my hard earned sunflower
seeds. Call me old fashion, but I like the traditional aspects like sending out
greeting cards. Have you noticed that the greeting card section in stores has
shrunken by 70% over the past few years? I went to a half dozen stores and
couldn’t find any critter appropriate cards. Hey Hallmark your missing a huge
untapped market here!
My buddy Merry suggested I make my own cards. What a great
idea. What should I put on the front of the card? What would my family, friends
and fans enjoy? I got it, a photo of me with Santa and his sled. Perfect!
What do you think? Isn’t that the best
holiday card you have ever seen? This is destined to be become a collectors
item and it is signed by yours truly.
Hi folks, its me Merry. I dropped by Chippy’s to cheer him
on in his efforts.
Chippy didn’t realize how much work it was sending out
hundreds of cards. (The down side of being famous.) He fell asleep on the
“job.” I am going to tuck him into bed.
I had to get another pen, the first one ran out
of ink. I decided to help write out addresses. At the rate Chippy was going he
was never going to get all the cards out in time for the holidays.
Well, I am glad
to see you’re awake after your nap. We have run out of working pens. All I
could find was a bottle of ink. So, we have use your tail as an old fashion
quill pen to finish these.
Are we done yet?
Thanks pal, I couldn’t have done this without you.
This
is what the holidays are truly about: Friends and family.
“Merry Christmas” from all of us at the Woodpile.
