D100 => 94
Christmas morning was filled with running and jumping, mostly from…Mary, who was screaming so loudly that everyone was practically awoken by her.
Christmas was always special. And while Rampant consumerism was an unfortunate side effect of it, you had much better ways to capitalize on it.
But after being woken up, coffee was given to you and Carrie by your mom and dad, who had been staying in the guest room for the day, you smiled. "I was hoping for another hour." You said,
"Well, you excited her with the whole Santa story Dad." You said. "You get it in?"
"Yep." He said. "All 200 hundred of them. Can't believe you went all out on the books?"
"It will do so much to help me prepare for whatever she comes up with." You replied. You sighed as she began tearing into the presents.
You then walked over to the crawling to Sarah and Joseph who were, thankfully trying to be calm, and not scared of all the noises that Mary was making in her struggle to get all the books.
"Hey, you two." You scooped them up and held them close. "There are some presents for you, but I am not going to make it all about Mary, she can do all that stuff on her own, but you two get to be my troublemakers for a time, so let's work together." You grabbed the two presents for them and you helped them."
And it was magical to see them work together to get the toys.
Reward: you had a very Merry Christmas.

One, Ginger apparently was the battle-hardened badass on the neighborhood cats. And had not a scratch on her despite all the battles she seemed to fight.
And the local cats were pretty much following her to the big pile of food that was out and getting stolen from by her.
Well that was why you were going through catfood so quickly, you thought Ginger and the kittens just ate alot.
But no, you were feeding the whole damn nieghborhood.
Also there was another scottish fold that was around, a feral one that may have been the father to the kittens.
But she learned to kick the crap out of that.
