Some time ago I agreed to babysit a pet rat. Owing to circumstances beyond my control, it became a more or less permanent arrangement. She has, however, provided me with some solid amusement – such as this Christmas season moment.

Here’s What’s on Top of My Christmas Tree – What’s on Yours?
That’s right – I have my very own Abominable Snow Monster! For years now he’s been coming by once a year in order to place a star on top of my tree. Is it wrong that this is my favorite part of Christmas? I’m neither very sentimental nor very religious, but somehow seeing the Abominable hovering at the top of my tree fills me with… well, I guess you’d have to call it Christmas spirit. So what’s on the top of your Christmas tree?

Suburban Wildlife, Part I
You’ve heard of feral cats, but feral skunks? True, I’m afraid – if you can’t tell by the smell. In my backyard they like to trade off taking advantage of the well-protected nest in the woodpile. A new litter of kittens with their mom is inevitably followed by a new litter of baby skunks with theirs! This one was on its own, but you can bet pretty soon we’ll be seeing a black-and-white caravan trailing up and down the hill.

Do They Know It’s Christmas?
My favorite Christmas song – it moves me every time. Sadly, it’s still relevant thirty years later.
