When you hit a groove, it's not you; it's the spirit world. The spirits whisper the ideas in your brain and prod you along. They're the ones that are really happy. Tommy Chong

I was in the middle of a dream when the whisper woke me up.

My eyes popped open and I looked around the darkened room.

6:06 am - not a soul moving in the house. Not even the cat - and he's the one who is usually waiting for me to get up and out of bed to give him his belly rubs and water.

It was clear as day and seemed to be whispered right in my ear.

The whisper lingered with me all day - and the more I thought about it, the more creeped out I became until I came to the only solution possible.

The cat has learned to speak.

Tis the Season...

I'm ready this year.

Most years I feel the spirit of Christmas Present breathing down my neck. My cards aren't done. Shopping is only half done. Certainly nothing is wrapped. I don't have a tree. I feel this holiday panic. Kind of a flutter in my stomach when I think of all that needs to be done.

This year my cards are mailed out. Shopping has been done for a week. Most of the presents are wrapped. And my tree is up and has lights on it. No decorations yet, but maybe I'll get to that soon.

It's like I can actually enjoy the season. I appreciate the lights set up on peoples homes. I sing along to the Christmas songs - which in turn makes me happy. So I look like a nut singing songs in my car with a smile on my face.

Imagine that if you need a laugh this Christmas.

So I wish everyone a peaceful holiday season. May you be with the ones you love.

• PS - All I want for Christmas is you...
