Coco Bongo

My new service animal, Coco Bongo. She will come to work with me, do all my correspondence, offer me moral support in meetings and remember all of the things I forget. #BestGiftEver #IWantThemAll

Her name might actually be Bella and she belongs to Olivia, not me, but those are just a couple of very minor details.

On an unrelated note, is Santa trying to whistle?

Stay great!

Kate

Dear Santa… it’s me, Kate

Dear Santa,

I hope all is well with you and Mrs Claus. I write this letter to you on behalf of Olivia, Declan and Thatcher, as none of them can write yet.

As you know, this is the first time we are doing the whole letter and cookies thing, so I wasn’t sure of a couple key pieces of information:

1. How many cookies are enough cookies?

2. What kind of cookies do you prefer?

In the absence of this information I made you a batch of ginger cookies and oatmeal/peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies (I’m going to be real with you for a second Santa; I don’t mean to be braggy, but Mr. Christie has got nothing on me. His manufacturers might make good cookies, but mine are real and they are spectacular!).

I feel like I may have gone overboard here (I went overboard, didn’t I?). But with the whole gluten free, sugar free, vegan, raw, fun-free ‘treats’ trend I thought you might like some ol’ school goods. These babies have got butter, peanut butter, butter, two types of sugar, chocolate, butter and so much gluten wrapped in a thick layer of love.

I’ve left you some ziplock bags so you can take all of the cookies with you for the road (please take all the cookies, I can’t have them in the house).

I know some folks leave a snack for the reindeer but it is 2017 and I wasn’t sure of the protocol, they are service animals, no?

Anyway, you have a lot to do tonight, so remember, “clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!”

Until next year, Santa. Merry Christmas, big guy!

Peace out.

Kate

Real news!

Someone will find a way to ruin this, cute, non-partisan example of soft, fluffy goodness. Why? Because it is 2017, and a photo can’t just be a photo, it is ALWAYS a political statement and up for challenge and debate on the internet.

I envision the ruining would go something like this: ‘what about the smart girl pups?’ Good question, and by good question I mean, not a good question at all. You see, the smart girl pups were too busy at the office solving cold cases and busting prostitution rings to pose for a photo that day. #NotMarginalized #SomeTimesCutePhotosAreJustCutePhotos

Mashable is the best!
