Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? It’s almost Christmas!
HELLO! My name is CHICKIE! I don’t know what Kissmiss is, but I don’t like a kiss to miss and I don’t like to miss a kiss! I like it when Mommy kisses me on my nose and says, “I kiss you on your filthy snout.” She says that’s from a story by Chekhov, whoever that is. Tipper, is a filthy snout a good fing?
Tipper: It is when Momma says it.
Chickie: Dat’s what I thought. So Tipper and I decided to help Mommy ’cause it’s Kissmiss. I helpded her on her laptop.
Tipper: And I helped her on her desktop.
Tipper: She was so happy, she just stood there and shook her head.
Chickie: Merry Kissmiss, ebbybody!
Tipper: Merry Christmas! Oh, and Momma says not everybody is a Christmasian, so Happy Holidays and Happy Regular Days to everybody, too!
Chickie: Me, too! I say dat, too!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: Do you help your hooman with the compooter?

Filthy snouts indeed. Filthy lil toes, too, but I kiss them anyway. Kisses are the best.
Merry Christmas is part of Happy Holidays — I feel like if you know what the person’s happy holidays are, you should wish them those. For you, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
