Dear Mommy,

I would like to make a new cat video.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I’m sure everyone is looking forward to that. What will you do in this new one?

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

It will have a holiday theme. I want to make one of those “Cat Bringing Down a Christmas Tree” videos.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

You want to knock over our tree? No way, honey.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Just for the video.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

That’s not going to happen. We’re not going to make that video.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Okay, forget the video. I want to crash the tree even without a video. Just rush up the side of it and bring it down. What an adrenaline rush that would be!!!!!!!

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

I’d better not catch you anywhere near our tree. I’ve given you this little one for your very own. You can tip this one over if you like.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

I don’t really understand the tree thing. Why do people even bring a tree inside the house?

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

It’s a wonderful old pagan custom.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

The decorations on the big tree look like toys. They are just begging to be batted around. And I like the lights. I’m glad my little tree has lights.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

Aren’t they lovely? They represent bringing light to the dark of winter.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Thank you for this little tree.

Love, Mia

 

Dear Mia,

It’s all yours to bring down. Merry Merriment!

Love, Carolyn
