Second Place

Charming Kitten by Christmas Tree | Stable Diffusion Online

Twas the night before Christmas- and my tree needed some decorations, within a tattered box were some old creations; from grandma, from mom, and from family donations. So, off I went to dig through my locker room, oh, that gloomy place was like a dusty tomb; found them . . . all those old precious balls and stuff, nothing new, most of them cracked, faded and a bit rough. I pray Santa knows how much these decorations I love, for they all came from angels now residing above; amazing how tinsel can hide flaws as I hang it with care, and standing back I cannot help to have a tear. Twas the night before Christmas- and my tree is all lit up shining and sparkling bright, I leave a cookie and milk snack and a note for Santa tonight; Santa, I only want one thing, a kitten fat, fluffy and pure white.

Love how this looks like a tree and the use of decorations from a tattered box. I believe that snowball kitten will bring Christmas cheer. Hugs-a-million!
