It’s Him! It’s Really Him!

Santa Claus is real! He’s eating the broccoli and milk I left for him by the chimney! Now he’s leaving a big round package under the tree — oh, please let it be that high-performance all-terrain hamster ball with the flame detailing I asked him for!


May you get everything on your list, Mel D.

    Happy day, everyone! And little hammy, if Santa doesn’t deliver, I’ll make your dreams come true.

    NOMTOM, as always, you crack me up. What do I want for Xmas this year? The “best of” coffee table book we’ve been begging for.

    I’ma go with a basic “Happy Hollydays” to all !!!!

    And after I read the setup for this pic, I was *SURE* that it was / is a pyrit
    tale/ pic …..and then looked for the auteur ….and it’s a NTM item !!!!
    I thought he only did sophisticated triple-entendre references with
    complex fantasy universes!!! WHO KNEW that NTM is an ol’ softy,
    who sees a kid (aka mousie) wondering when Santa will get here?????

    Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and much love and peace to all of the Cute Overloaders, and especially to the creators of this little oasis of sweetness, light, and smiles in our sometimes otherwise stressful world.

    This is such a sweet post.

    Merry Christmas and loads of love and happiness to all of the CO peeps. You all make me smile every single day.

    Meg, Sharpy, NTMTOM, Pyrit, Chief Sister Officer, and Sweet Goose, I hope your holidays and New Year are filled with unbridled joy and happy surprises. Thanks for bringing so many smiles and creating such a fantastic place to grab a puppy and decompress.

    Smooch!

      Holy crap, Nikki! Decompress! That’s the word! I’ve had that word on the tip of my brain for days. I kept trying to think of the word for unwind that starts with de (I guess because I really need to do that). I kept thinking, what is the word? Decompose? No. That’s DEFINITELY not the word I’m thinking of. 8O

  15. Mary (the first) says:

    Looks like the little hammy has left a little present for Santa? And Peace, Joy and a Healthy New Year to all CO peeps!!

  16. Queen of Dork says:

    Merry Christmas CO Staff and stunningly wonderful peeps! We’re watching A Christmas Story over here. It’s so lovely how music from Peter And The Wolf randomely plays at points in the movie. That’s so cool because it’s so totally unrelated to the holiday. Love it! :)

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

    How do you guy get such lovely photos of your small&furries?! I have tried and I know it’s not easy! That pic is adorable.

    Merry Christmas to everyone at CO!

    I want to see him in a satin exercise suit and sideways baseball cap, break dancing in front of his funny little car…wait, do I watch entirely too much TV?

    Does anyone know who sent in this pic of the Hammy ? I think it may be my pic – I’m sure I’ve got one identical – I’m frantically trying to find it – My name is Mel D as well – I’m wondering if it’s my pic that’s been sent in of my Hammie called Bunches ? Not that I mind one bit – but I nearly fell off my chair when I saw it…

    Regards – Mel D
