I agree BigS...
I am alone with no one this Christmas. My cats don't get that I picked out that high end catnip special. Being alone also means I won't be receiving any gifts either.

I am free to do what I want when I want to this year! No obligations to buy things just to buy things. The kitties will get their high from the good catnip and I will get mine from watching them! My tree is up because Christmas is a holiday I enjoy alone or not!
hmmm... good exercise in positive thinking!!!
