I opened up the Christmas closet yesterday and started my annual decorating routine. The tree is up and adorned with new and indestructible cat-proof ornaments. The table looks festive with a small tree and candles. And the Nativity scene is perfect this year with all the figurines present and accounted for—unlike a certain year in which a major player went missing. A year I chronicled in the heartwarming tale of The Case of the Missing Mary.
So grab that bottle of whiskey from your desk drawer, pour yourself a stiff drink, sit back, and relax.

I love your story with the Guy Noir air to it. I think if you are truly missing one member of the Nativity cast ever Christmas, you should suspect that Studley is the responsible prankster.

Could be. Our goldfish went missing, vanished, and I found her dried skeleton under the china hutch when we moved, right where our kitty hid her.

I’m glad she was accounted for this year. Hope she stays in her place for the season!

Bottle of whiskey? Desk drawer? I just checked. Closest I found is Scotch (tape). Otherwise, just paperclips, pens, and a handful of ibuprofen. I feel gypped.
