Sparkle is getting pretty excited with the light snow flakes in the air. She is picking up gifties here and there for her friends and tucking them in the closet to hide them from visitors. She is on the hunt for some real mistle toe to hang at the Big MeowChat Village Christmas Party this year.

Most of all, she is excited that December marks her first full year with Mommy and as a member of the MeowChat Village. She has loved meeting all her new friends and can't wait to spend the holidays with them!
