(We can’t send you a Christmas Card, so we thought we’d try the next best thing.)
The large male panther and the female tigress are sitting together, cuddled up under a down comforter, sipping coco from Christmas’y mugs and taking it easy on the couch that faces a huge picture window looking out into the snowy night. The view is a street of Victorian homes flanked by large yards and ornate wrought iron fences. Snowmen and snowforts dot the yards, proof that the children have had the run of the place by day. Huge, sprawling trees spring from the snowy curbsides, branches covered by the still falling snow. It’s a beautiful sight, the old houses done up tastefully with a few strands of multicolored lights – only a few winking here and there.
Everything is touched by snow – mailboxes, roofs, windowsills and branches – all of it having that unique pastel blue-purple hue and looking like piles of diamond dust sparkling in the dim light cast by the few remaining windows lit with a warm, golden glow. There’s a tranquility in it – the snow muffling any noises, so the night stays pretty and quiet. One or another of the old Christmas music standards plays somewhere in the background while their Christmas tree does it’s best to not be gaudy nearby. The pair both smile at you warmly. “We want to wish you and yours our very best wishes this holiday season. Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year,” – New and Kitten – 2011.
