Have Yourself a Furry Little Christmas: Dr. Karyn Gift Wraps Her Cats
Hi, I’m Dr. Karyn! Read my introduction to learn more about me and meet my five hilarious cats: Clutch, Cyril, Alex, Zelda, and Zazzles.
I’m not really into Christmas. That’s right, I said it. I don’t like Christmas.
Despite 12 years of Catholic education, Sunday morning sleep-ins ruined by enforced church attendance, and many a Christmas Eve spent yawning through Midnight Mass, I have emerged as a fairly well-rounded atheist. Of course, I have no objection to other peoples’ choice to subscribe to whichever religion speaks to them, provided I get to click ‘unsubscribe.’ Mind you, these days, the most recognized and celebrated Christmas traditions, like Santa Claus, overpriced gifts, cheesy Hallmark movies, and Mariah-bloody-Carey, have very little to do with religion! So it’s not that aspect that turns me into a Grinch.
For me, it’s just a lot of hassle and stress with a big mess to clean up at the end. But before you start hurling ‘Bah humbug’ in my direction, there are two Christmas traditions I do enjoy: watching Die Hard and my annual attempt to successfully wrap a cat.
Wrapping My Cats
Ever since a rather entertaining video emerged several years ago of a very patient kitty being carefully measured, wrapped in paper, and topped with a ribbon, it has been my Christmas wish to recreate this wonder in my home. You would think that, with five possible candidates, I would have succeeded in my mission by now, but alas, my efforts have only ever resulted in torn wrapping paper and a mildly irritated feline.
