Holiday

Look Mom, Santa Brought a Skylight. Runner-Up in Tales of Hearth Challenge.

It was just after sun-up on a bright Christmas morn, and I was still dreamily snuggled in my bed. Awoken suddenly by a loud crash, my immediate assumption was that our cat knocked down the Christmas tree – again. My belief in that scenario was heightened when the first thing I saw as I tossed the covers aside in the new dawn morning, was said cat skittering toward his under-the-bed sanctuary as fast as his little ginger legs could carry him.
