12/12 - Cutie Bird takes Mario with Raccoon Power under her wing

Mario with Raccoon Power looks suspicious.  Do you think he’s going to try to take the presents under this Xmas tree?

My new new desk (it’s musical chairs around here these days) comes with a basketball net.  Cutie and Mario hung out for a while in it, pretending they were basketballs.  Sillies.

Health update: Some people have a Christmas cactus that blooms once a year.  We apparently have a Christmas cold.  What a wretched thing to bloom at this time of year.
