The Nest is helping to turn the holiest time of the year into the most utterly messed up time of the year. We’re counting down to Christmas with our Shelf Critter Advent Calendar… and after several weeks of door by door disaster, we’ve finally reached the bottom row in our stolen off the internet and horribly Photoshopped onto the SCT stage hand-crafted calendar! Here it comes, your 19th nervous breakdown….
Oh boy, I’ll bet today is just going to reek of the Christmas spirit. It’s the Shelf’s always pleasant skunk, Rainy. How is your holiday going, ma’am…
RAINY: Awful! Just absolutely awful, thanks for asking.
I’m sorry somebody took a leak in your bowl of Shredded Wheat. If you don’t mind me bothering you with a question…
RAINY: Yes, I do mind you bothering me with a question!
Well, since you’re a part of the SCAC, I’m afraid I need you to tell the readers out there what Christmas means to you.
RAINY: It means dreaming of a wet Christmas….. which NEVER happens here!
But Rainy, doesn’t a white Christmas look so much more magical?
RAINY: No, it doesn’t! And get this ugly fake snow out of my precious rain gauge at once!!!
Sorry Rainy, but everyone thinks it looks cute. And you do want to satisfy The Nest’s loyal audience, right?
RAINY: You want me to satisfy the audience? I’ll give them something to remember my appearance by! It’s time to turn this into a green Christmas!
Careful kids, don’t eat the green snow…
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
you want a wet christmas? you can celebrate with us… the rain is always there so we get a shower as soon as we leave the house…
Rainy would love it with you! Though it’s usually not best to mix a skunk with dogs…
The only thing that would have made Rainy’s “gift” of green for Christmas better would have been the “red” of Zeeba’s latest BLOOD KILL……..red and green never looked so good for the holiday as they do at The Nest!

LOL! Someone who is reading this comment that has never seen my blog before probably thinks this place is full of nutcases!
Oh Rainy a wet Christmas indeed, well maybe a wet summer but never a wet Christmas.
Rainy enjoyed our Christmas we had… I think it was in 2015. Storms and rain all week, except Christmas Day which was clear enough to see the full moon. Santa needed an amphibious vehicle that year…
Yep, I was up close to your area for Christmas that year. That rain was cold and relentless! 🙂
So THAT’s who was lurking behind my vinyl fence that the boys (my boys) found so intriguing vis a vis scent and which I had to go indoors and visit the porcelain throne from smelling? (longest run on sentence going today)… 😛 Gee thanks Rainy for providing us with a truly ‘green’ Christmas. Even if that does mean the shade some of our faces turned…
Rainy will assure everything is green for Christmas, except for our wallets…
Oh Rainy…you know just when to deliver a punch line. As in straight to the nose. 👃🏻
Hopefully Rainy’s stench will at least drown out the cinnamon smell…
Good point. Between fake cinnamon fake and pumpkin spice it’s often a wonder there’s any holiday spirit out there.
Urgh, that came right out of my laptop screen. Damn this new “full sensory experience” technology.
Just wait until the next time we kill Buster, and you have to try and wipe the possum guts out of your keyboard…
Rainy should spend the holidays here. December is almost always unbearably wet and dismal. We’ve had about three inches of rain over the past couple of days. The rivers are flooding, there are landslides – Rainy would love it!
Hmmmm… as much as Rainy loves the rain, I’m not sure what she would think about mud. It just might change her mind if she ever stepped in a mud puddle or got buried in a mudslide…
