Christmas Day, December 25th Happy Caturday Theme - MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄

A Christmas Carol of Two Cats🎄🐾🐾🎄

"It was Christmas Eve."

"It always is Christmas Eve, in a Ghost Story."

A good old ghost story like Charles Dickens, 1843 tale - "A Ghost of Christmas" was the choice in the book. The cats sat by the fire and listened to the ghost tale told. And then, by magic, an old, white cat appeared beside them. Their father, "Green Eyes" had returned on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas!🎄❤️🎄🐾🐾❤️🎄❤️

Featuring the timeless ONSU - Magnolia House.

The world sits between winter and spring, caught in a restless in-between where frost lingers on the tangled ivy, and the first shy buds push through damp earth. The evergreens stand overgrown, their branches heavy with the weight of seasons past, while the garden—wild and unkempt—refuses to be tamed, a riot of brambles, forgotten herbs, and stubborn roses climbing the weathered cottage walls. Moss clings to the stone path, and the air hums with the promise of warmth, though the wind still carries a bite, a whispered reminder that winter has not yet fully let go.

Hey babes! I just slipped into the *Spring is Here!* dress by Small Fashion, and I swear—I've never felt cuter, sexier, or more ready to dance under cherry blossoms and sunlight.

This flirty little number is bursting with bold floral energy, cinched in just right at the waist to give that dreamy hourglass silhouette. With its deep sweetheart neckline and scalloped edge detailing, it's a perfect mix of romantic garden party and high-fashion editorial. The flared skirt has the perfect swish factor (yes, I tested it with a few twirls!), and the transparency detailing gives it that extra oomph of modern glam.

The HUD is seriously next-level. You've got **ten different textures** to play with—from soft blush blossoms and watercolor florals to poppy brights and bold leafy botanicals. Whether you're channeling cottagecore, tropical vibes, or retro garden glam, there’s a pattern in here that fits the vibe.

And for finishes, you can choose between **Blinn Phong (classic SL rendering)** or **PBR (Physically Based Rendering)** for that next-gen shine. Want a soft, satiny sheen or a subtle glossy glow? It’s all at your fingertips—plus adjustable transparency to make it as sheer (or not) as you want.

Key features:

- Original Mesh with high-resolution textures

- Ten vibrant, hand-picked spring textures

- Blinn Phong & PBR shine options (No Shine, Low Shine, Soft Shine)

- Adjustable Transparency slider

- HUD with intuitive layout for quick styling

- Flirty back cutout and plunging neckline

Compatible mesh bodies:

- LaraX

- Maitreya (Lara)

- Legacy

- Reborn

- Waifu

- Perky

- Bombshell

Fashion throwback vibes:

The silhouette draws heavy inspiration from 1950s day dresses—think Dior’s New Look with a modern twist. Feminine, flattering, and made for making an entrance. Vintage charm meets current couture in the most wearable way.

For December 18th Theme Holiday Decoration Bright and Colorful 🎄

"Taxidermy was all the rage in the Victorian era, when Charles Dickens penned some of the literature’s finest novels.

While Dickens was in high demand around the world for his dramatic public readings, he loved to be at home in England with his cats, one of whom was rumored to snuff out his master’s candle for a little attention.

Dickens once asked, “What greater gift than the love of a cat?” Four decades after his death, Mary Dickens reflected on various feline members of the Dickens family in her book, Charles Dickens, by His Eldest Daughter. She spent several pages on the antics of a deaf cat who exhibited exclusive devotion to her father. “He was always with his master, and used to follow him about the garden and sit with him while he was writing,” she wrote.

Understandably distraught when his beloved cat Bob died in 1862, the writer was eager to keep a visual memory on his desk. One of Bob’s paws was promptly stuffed and adhered to an ivory blade, which was engraved “C.D. In Memory of Bob 1862.”
