Both your snowman avatars are great. I gotta wonder why John's is smiling, given what's going on with the hat!

My Christmas smoking tradition is Mrs Cat allowing me to smoke in the house these 2 holiday weeks. Actually she'd always let me if I wanted too, but she keeps a meticulous home and I respect that and her, so I don't until the holiday season. I always smoke something aromatic. Usually Sutliff Rum and Maple or Vanilla Custard, but this year it's been WCC NoYB, which she has gone gaga over! I'm glad as I love it too. @MikeDennison mentioned he was going to reindeer some JOSN my way and I planned on giving that a puff, but it hasn't landed at Casa Cat yet. Stoopid post office reindeer!
My pipe of choice is usually my dad's Grabow on Christmas and New Year's Day and something from the usually rotation the other days.

Our granddaughter is 2 and a half this year. Talking and asking questions and singing! Jingle Bells is her favorite! I can't wait!!

Bro, I've got a confession to make; it hasn't even gone near the post office since the fam arrived for Christmas. So sorry! You'll receive it, just not in time for Christmas.

So we had the kids over yesterday from around 1 in the afternoon until 10 PM or so. When everyone packed up to leave, our cutie pie said she wanted to sleep with GG and Pa. We all tried to talk her out if it, but she wouldn't budge. Her mom, our daughter, said she could stay and see what Santa brought in the morning. She got into bed between Mrs Cat and I and off to sleep we went. During the night she curled up in my arm and slept through to morning. Best Christmas present ever.
