Rocking ’round the Christmas tree with this singing Christmas cat! We keep playing with this fabulous Christmas card – Christmas cat sings, meows and dances – well, more like shaking than dancing, but Christmas cat moves!
A fun way to share a merry Christmas –
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, to all humans and kitty cats, oh OK, we love dogs too!
A cat Christmas is always good, and a cat Christmas at Remoniscence, NYC is even better.

Joan, manager of Reminiscence, holds Valentina, the sweet cat she rescued from the building next door. Valentina was a frightened, very shy little cat hiding behind boxes left in the basemen of the neighboring store, after it went out of business. Joan and her staff, especially along time employee Rodney, fed her, talked to her and gradually gained her trust.
She has grown into a healthy, beautiful, friendly cat – Joan and the staff love her, as do customers who come to Reminiscence to shop – actually, some people come to Reminiscence to visit with Valentina.

Felix the cat
The first-ever Macy’s Day Parade actually took place on Christmas of 1924. Macy’s employees dressed as clowns, cowboys, and other fun costumes, and traveled with Central Park zoo animals and creative floats a lengthy six miles from Herald Square to Harlem in Manhattan.
The parade was meant to draw attention to the Macy’s store in NYC, and the gimmick worked – more than 250,000 people attended the inaugural Macy’s Day Parade.It was decided that this NYC parade would become an annual NY event in Manhattan.

In 1927, Felix the Cat became the first giant balloon to ever take part in the Macy’s Day Parade. In 1928, Felix was inflated with helium, and without a plan to deflate this massive balloon, NYC parade organizers simply let Felix fly off into the sky. Unfortunately, he popped soon thereafter.
