You might have noticed that my family and I have new additions to our names for the Holiday Season. It's from the Christmas carol "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman", specifically the verse saying "O Tidings of Comfort and Joy". Mom realized around last Christmas that the three of us fit that verse perfectly.
I'm the Tidings, as I was the one who prepared my Mom for the never-ending lovefest that is Minnie & Penny. I helped enlarge her heart, much like the Grinch whose heart enlarged 3 times that day, I enlarged her heart 'til she thought it couldn't hold any more. Then Minnie & Penny made it several times larger than that, something Mom thought was impossible.
Penelope stands for Comfort, as I can't imagine a more comforting kitty with her roaring purr and her healing ways. Mom thinks she's as close to a Saint or an angel in kitty form that she's ever seen.
Minuette fits Joy, as she is the most rambunctious and gleeful monkey Mom has ever experienced. She brings a huge dose of vitality into Mom's tired life, and lights her heart up like the fourth of July with joy and laughter.
We hope your Holiday Season to be filled with Comfort and Joy, as we are certainly fortunate to have our fill of it!
