Being a caregiver is a bittersweet job. I am glad that I am able to take care of my Dad. On the other hand it is very hard watching the Dementia, Alzheimer's take over. Christmas morning will never be the same.

My Secret Santa gift arrived and made my day a little bit brighter. A few days later, after Dad had gone to sleep, I was able to open my gift. The Kitties and I had a blast opening it!! When I opened it, the kitties checked it out to make sure it was ok to empty the box. The card was lovely, I believe Santa made it. the note was sweet. Santa sent me a care package, items to help me relax, release some stress.

First was the softest, cuddly blanket. This is Toby's favorite, he loves to snuggle with me and the blanket. Next was a coloring book and pencils. I love it!!! I also got a travel mug and Starbuck's Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate!!!!! Yum. There was also a kit to make a skillet chocolate chip cookies. Oh yea the kitties got treats, wrapping paper and a cool box.

I make time every day now to wrap in the blanket and snuggle with the kitties, color and just relax. Thank you Santa, you're the best!
