The Cat's Meow: The Meowy Holiday Season

Hey everyone! I have so much free time, I just thought I might add a new blog post!!!
so….

Meowy Christmas everyone and a just plain old dandy Meow-Year!

Yes! Everyone excited? Because, we have a holiday coming up!!! So, wrap your presents and get into the holiday spirit!!!

Our Christmas tree is kinda shaggy. We got it on Sunday, like 2 weeks ago. The ornaments are falling off and the tinsel droops, but, it is a very cosy tree. That is why I love this holiday season so much! All of the stormy weather, (even for Hawaii, it can get pretty stormy

) makes you feel warm and cosy inside. The perfect time to drink hot chocolate is now, dear reader, so go get a mug of the stuff and sit down to read the rest of this post!

As you know, I live in Hawaii. No snow, but we get rain, and a lot of it. Thunderstorms have been happening recently and the sky darkens

earlier each day. Yesterday, in fact, was December 21st (for you guys in the Mainland, maybe not because you are so far ahead of us in time

), the shortest day of the year. I spent yesterday helping my mom and dad with gardening. We practically have a forest behind our house, which isn't that surprising for Hawaii, but, you reader, might imagine Hawaii all beachy and palm trees.

That's true, but not all of it. Hawaii is amazing! It has more than just beaches! Like, forests with excellent hikes and mountains. But, I am afraid we are getting off topic. Anyway….

Hawaii, is a great place to vacation or even stay if you like paradise, beaches, and not to cold or hot summers and winters. However, if you

And you guys reading this who live in Hawaii, if you really like the snow and look forward to it every winter (even though, you know, it won't snow here) a vacation to Alaska, Yosemite, or some other place on the Mainland, is a fantastic idea! I highly recommend Yosemite for a nice winter stay! With warm crackling

in the lobby of whatever hotel you stay at in the park, but also a lot of

, it creates a wonderful experience. You can climb Half-dome, or Yosemite Falls and learn details about John Muir and the history of Yosemite! Also, the park is teeming with life! Bears

, Bobcats (actually, when we were there, we saw a bobcat right by the hotel), and Coyotes are only some of the examples of the animals at Yosemite!!! But, I am afraid we are, again, straying from the topic.

Yosemite

Yosemite is a great place to visit over the winter if you want some snow and cold noses but, Hawaii, is still a great place. As a matter of fact, almost every Christmas, my family goes to the beach and builds sand-men

with my friends. Those friends include:

and a few other friends that don't go to my school anymore. Speaking of school, we (LJA) got out on Thursday, the 19th, 1 day before Punaho got out!!!

. Just kidding. Anyway, on the 18th, in advisory, we received our secret santa present! Megan (http://meganmusiclover.blogspot.com) turned out to be my secret santa. She gave me a small cat stuffed animal named Pepper and a noise
