Hello Everyone!  How are you??  I sure hope you had a very wonderful holiday week!  I sure have!

We get very little snow here these years, so yesterday for the first time in my life I got to sled! With our little plastic sled me and Mama Loba went over to a mountain I call the hundred acre wood. So we sledded for a while then she left me playing on the sled. I had brought my three stuffed otters Rhiannon, Sabrina, and Mabella so I was able to put them in the sled including my sea otter bag, a kerchief, hat, a silk bandana and me. Then go sledding down the mountain.

When Mama Loba wolf-howled for me ( as she always does when it’s time for me to come back from my play time) I just climbed in to the sled and went down the mountain I was able to sled most of the way home. I did crash twice on the adventure and hurt myself a bit but you can’t have fun if you don’t take a chance on hurting, and you learn important lessons that way.  Sometimes the lesson is just to wake up and pay attention!

It had been Papa’s idea for us to bring the sled, It had only snowed 1-2 inches but he said we could slide around in the sled probably so we went it tried he was definitely right we could speed down the mountain! Also not to long ago Mama Kiva and Papa got me a pair of reindeer boots in a trade from our cool friend Sasha, they have “real” reindeer fur on them its amazing I wear them all the time. In fact I’m wearing them right now and am sitting with my new stuffed otter Mabella with me. I sure love them, they are in wonderful shape for being so old they’re all the way from the 60’s. They should last me a long time !!!
I don’t relate much to the Santa thing I tell you, but I do love all kinds of holidays and celebrations, and chances to give thanks for the blessings of the world. I brought a juniper branch in instead of a tree, and Mama Loba and I made incredible yummy ginger bread fantasy.  See the picture:

And I love presents of course, like the amazing Resolute astromony telescope I will be writing about here later, and the Solstice gifts I got including the hand felted (that’s pressed wool you know) bag with an otter on it, and my newest stuffed river otter Maybella, and a certificat that says I donated to the protection of the otters and have sort of adopted one.  I actually plan to start a campaign to bring river otters back to our river and I will be writing about it here and asking for your ideas and help of course!  Thank you to everybody who has been so good to me and us, you know who you are!

I have lots of things to take care of today, I will write another blog post soon.  Life is very full, and that’s a good thing.

Happy Magical Holidays to you, we love you!
