Happy Feast of St. Nicholas

Alice:  Cecil, do you know what today is?
Cecil: Thursday
Alice: But do you know what feast it is? It's St. Nicholas Day.
Cecil:  Okay.  What's in it for us?
Alice: Maybe there will be special treats..people believe that this Bishop who protected innocent people is the original Father Christmas.
Cecil: Let's wait and hope she comes home at a decent hour for a change.
Alice:  Cecil, while we wait, maybe we should have a holy conversation about our deepest longings as we prepare for Christmas.
Cecil: Sorry, Alice, but I am just not into that kind of sharing. I am a very private cat.Why don't you find Hunter next door.  Maybe he's into that sort of self-revelation. Or better yet, join one of the keeper's groups.
Alice: Sigh. I'll just watch the birds.
