It was Christmas morning, and we were all waiting for Andrew and Jentry to come over so we could open presents. I decided to take a little nap in my bed that’s in the big bedroom. I nodded off for a while, and when I woke up, there was a surprise in my bed.

Do y’all remember Chia’s octopus stuffie, “Smiley?” Yep, there he was, big as life, laying with me in my bed. Mom walked in and I asked, “Do you know why Smiley is sleeping with me?”
She said Chia had laid it there, and it was Chia’s Christmas present to me.

She’ll probably want Smiley back later, but that’s ok. Now I can grab it and yell, “Mine!” and Chia can chase me and grab it and yell, “Mine!” and we can have fun playing. Did anyone else get something unexpected for Christmas?
Many thanks to Miss Sandee at Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Monday! And Happy, Happy New Year to everyone!!

What a sweet and nice surprise present. Your game sounds like fun. We like the cheese/mouse toy Mom got us for Christmas. Everything is a surprise to us.

How awesome that Chia loaned “Smiley” to you as her gift (even if it’s temporary!) to you. We don’t give our toys out without a very good reason and obviously it was special that she put her toy in your bed. Here’s to a nice start for your new year thanks to Chia’s generous gesture!!!!
Hugs, Teddy
