Twas the day after Christmas and from our sweet home

my husband and I were not inclined to roam

we were so tired out from our fun holiday

that in our pajamas we wanted to stay.

And then from the street there came such a sound

that out of my chair I just had to bound

I ran to the mailbox with hope in my heart

For I knew that my Card Santa had done their part.

So maybe just maybe the day would be here

That a Christmas card in my box would appear.

I peeked in the mailbox and cried out with glee

for a wonderful envelope in there I did see.

I tore open the envelope in no time flat

And there looking up was a handsome cat

His fur was so orange and his expression so dear

That I knew he must be here to spread Christmas cheer.

As I opened the card to read what was inside

The name of the cat my Santa did provide.

The dear cat's name was Gus and they wrote even more

they said he makes his home in a Texas book store.

The name of the book store was given to me

if ever I wanted this cat to go see.

So thank you dear Santa with all of my heart

Thank you for my card and your beautiful art.

I have placed the card on the fridge with great care.

I'll smile every time that I see it there!

Thank you for the amazing card and your sweet note and I loved your drawing of the Christmas tree! If I ever make it Texas I will be sure to go see Gus the Cat! Thank you Thank you Thank you
