Yes, I am aware this places me in the "My owner is crazy/cruel/verging on insanity" basket, but hey - why have pets if you can't put stuff on them. Here is Bosco enjoying his Christmas present.
Roswell doesn't seem as impressed with hers. Although the glazed expression is actually due to the fact that my parents & sister had just arrived - Ros doesn't deal well with visitors, and she was gazing rigidly ahead, apparently hoping that if she didn't look at them, they might cease to exist.
Ata was looking MUCH happier than Roswell, because her parents brought with them a Christmas Gift from Ata's Little Brother #2 - the Firefly DVD set. Ata had seen it on special during the week, and thought to herself that it would be nice to own it, but decided to do without. AND there was new earrings from Ata's Little Sister. Mr Ata bought a combined Birthday/Christmas present - a practice Ata tries to discourage, but this time he'll get away with it. The gift was a 1GB MP3 player, which Mr Ata had spent several weeks researching (he doesn't do things by halves) under the explanation that he wanted to buy one himself. Christmas and Boxing Days were BUSY BUSY BUSY, what with church and lunches (both of which Ata cooked for - Christmas Day was at the in-laws house, but Ata supplied roasted vegebles. Boxing Day lunch was at Ata's house with Ata's family and her parents-in-law, MmmMMMMMM lemon roast chicken, brown and juicy) and picking-people-up from the airport, and the traditional Boxing Day movie (Narnia this year), and cleaning up, and more cooking, and finally watching three episodes of Firefly (hooray!) before going to bed. Now Ata feels pretty much like Roswell - all Christmassed out.

Aww. Roswell looks so disgruntled in all of that festive trim.
And you got Firefly! Yay! I'm going to have to go and re-watch all of mine, now that I've finished my fancy book on it.
