[Jack Brickey]

uh oh...we are taking this thread to a whole new level of activity now that we are sharing pet photos. ;-)

I had decided not to make our poor family cat suffer her Santa Suit this year, but that just all changed.....

she will NOT be happy when I get home tonight!!!

[Jack Brickey]

oh for shame @Andy - PTC Redundant! how could you??? :-)

[Jodi LeBlanc]

The pups and that cat are so sweet! Love seeing them all festive :)

I forgot to preface my tree photo: I am a minimalist in all aspects of my life, except for this tree! It's a pack rat style tree filled with ornaments I received over the years, every ornament has a story.

I love all of these threads coming back to life. All your cute pets made my morning!

Gold star for this Advent Calendar, @Thomas Schlegel: ⭐️

This was a great thread before, and the beautiful holiday decorations + cute pet photos have taken it to a whole even more epic level. Made my morning as well! Please keep posting cute pet photos everyone...

[Andy - PTC Redundant]

@Jack Brickey: I know ! ! Shocking, right? Terrible lack of humanity..... 😜

I'm not sure if this photo really shows it off, but there is severe anger and disdain in that cutey little face 😾

[Andy - PTC Redundant]

@Jodi LeBlanc: That tree is definitely anything BUT minimal ! !

I'm not gonna lie that reading through the advent calendar makes me a little teary-eyed. I love that our little slice of the internet is filled with so much love and camaraderie. Well done @Thomas Schlegel at really capturing the spirit of the season AND of the community. 

[Thomas Schlegel]

Thank you so much, @Meg Holbrook - and thank you all for your Friday-fun and Monday threads - without you, I couldn‘t have done this advent calendar. I just sprinkled some Christmas sugar on them - and putting this all together was so much fun. So sad, it‘s over soon, but maybe there‘s a new one next year.

[Jack Brickey]

@Thomas Schlegel, again this has been a great post and want to thank you for it. I love the 22nd reflective MLK word cloud.

[Andy - PTC Redundant]

@Thomas Schlegel: Merry Christmas to you too (and all the community addicts of course)! Thanks for such an awesome and enjoyable festive-blog! 

🎅🎄🥂🌟

[Jodi LeBlanc]

Absolutely loved your advent calendar @Thomas Schlegel - can't believe it's over! I will miss opening my computer for a surprise post each morning.  Wishing you all a merry holiday and exciting things around the corner in 2019! :)

Too late for Christmas, but...

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!!

@Thomas Schlegel - My husband hand made me a sign for my business out of a really beautiful hardwood and metal inlay. He didn't get it finished yet (because that's just how he is lol), but when it's done I'll have to show you pictures.
