I hope you are all well and ready for Santa to come and visit you this evening!
Over on Patreon, the last of the Advent Christmas Movie Reviews has just been posted and it is the movie I watched today while I was wrapping gifts for my family and friends. That is about the most Chritmassy thing you could possibly do!
All the Movie Reviews, plus the previous two Advent gifts, are available on Patreon for $1 or 70p which has got to be the best bargain this Christmas!

Here is the poem I read - with all the right dialect spelling.
Talking Turkeys
by Benjamin Zephaniah
Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas
Cos’ turkeys just wanna hav fun
Turkeys are cool, turkeys are wicked
An every turkey has a Mum.
Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas,
Don’t eat it, keep it alive,
It could be yu mate, an not on your plate
Say, Yo! Turkey I’m on your side.
I got lots of friends who are turkeys
An all of dem fear christmas time,
Dey wanna enjoy it, dey say humans destroyed it
An humans are out of dere mind,
Yeah, I got lots of friends who are turkeys
Dey all hav a right to a life,
Not to be caged up an genetically made up
By any farmer an his wife.
Turkeys just wanna play reggae
Turkeys just wanna hip-hop
Can yu imagine a nice young turkey saying,
‘I cannot wait for de chop’,
Turkeys like getting presents, dey wanna watch christmas TV,
Turkeys hav brains an turkeys feel pain
In many ways like yu an me.
I once knew a turkey called…Turkey
He said “Benji explain to me please,
Who put de turkey in christmas
An what happens to christmas trees?”,
I said “I am not too sure turkey
But itÕs nothing to do wid Christ Mass
Humans get greedy an waste more dan need be
An business men mek loadsa cash’.
Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
Invite dem indoors fe sum greens
Let dem eat cake an let dem partake
In a plate of organic grown beans,
Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
An spare dem de cut of de knife,
Join Turkeys United an dey’ll be delighted
An yu will mek new friends ‘FOR LIFE’.
the music you can hardly hear in the background is from Epidemic Sound and is
Anglels We Have Heard
What Child Is This?
Look to the Stars
My husband is so poorly I don’t know if he will live but I sound of your voice so comforting you are a real friend
To all the safest and the best of improvements to everyone’s lives for 2022
and I am making Anzac cookies to add to the big green couch New Year’s Eve for all love from australia
Merry Christmas Kate. I always enjoy your videos and love to hear you talk. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and can’t wait to see your next video. Love to you and your cats and Duck. Oh and the poem was beautiful !
Happy Christmas Kate, cat Rita and Sadie. What a lovely Christmas eve treat to hear ‘hello RUclips friends..’ again. Love the teapot too!
Ok. We need a lesson on making the star. A lovely poem to end the year. Love and hugs.
I could feel your sadness when speaking about norma,I am sure you have been grieving badly I hope you have lovely Xmas and a healthy new year
Looking forward to seeing you New Year’s Eve, Kate! Thank you for popping in. Loved the poem. Merry Christmas to you and everyone on the LGS! 🎄🎁❤️
My oldest daughter loved Benjamin Zephaniah!! Remember her laughing at this poem!!
Happy Christmas to you all! Sending love, comfort, and joy from our home to yours.
Happy Christmas, Our Dear Kate. Thank you for everything. Love and joy to you now and always
You too Kate have missed you hope you are well, bless you
I love that you have a cat named Rita. My mom's name is Reta.(same pronounciation) She has been in hospital since the last week of November. She was critically ill at the beginning, 10% kidney function. She was content to spend Christmas in heaven, God wasn't ready yet and has been helping with recovery. She will have 93rd Birthday Jan 11. She has gone from cardiac care to Geriatric re-hab. She has only 1 visitor allowed on this unit but my brother is doing well with her. I've been sick for 3 wks having started a new once a week insulin, I'm done with it since it is making me so ill and the side effects are numerous & more than I expected. I'm glad your Rita is stepping in for your Norma, mom had a friend Norma & a cousin Sadie. Mom said for years all she wanted for Christmas was a turkey dinner. She has a heart that feels compassion for the needy and homeless in our community & donates to the meals made for them thru the year. She asked that we donate in her honour instead of spending more on gifts for her. Feed them a Christmas dinner. We will give her new slippers as well. She is not doing well with hospital food as it is bland at best & not very hot. So, she had turkey dinner from home, & turkey sandwich for 2 days from home. She loves the cabbage soups on Mondays. She is getting stronger & wants to go home on her own again. That will be determined at a later date by Drs. She is of good cheer and doing physio gratefully. You are looking a lot healthier yourself, I have been noticing lately, I'm glad. You will have an excellent family Christmas & fun with Agnes. We had family Christmas on the 24th with our 3 children, 2 spouses & 1 grandson, Vaughn, 10 mos old. He is so adorable, very much loved, calm & happy. His parents are devoted to his being well adjusted. We have seen him very little with the covid restrictions. Short visits interrupted by naps. He responds well to us & we enter his space gradually. He comes for lap time readily. A 2 hour drive up and back, makes for a long day. Our eldest daughter did the return trip driving in the dark. We did gift exchange which is fun. They are in early years and are being wise spenders which is fine. Some special chocolates from one and a roast of deer meat, venison, from our son's first deer. I crocheted pocketed shawls for the young ladies, they didn't model them but that's ok. Time together is the gift I like best. Sharing baked treats too. The men like their sweets. That is my space. Wishing you and yours a healthy 2022! God bless us one and all!
There is a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy called the Norma Arm. So now we know where to look for her
🐾🌌💕
Merry Christmas Kate thanks for all your encouragement and creativeness it is very appreciated. I hope you know how much you are cared about by all of us.
I’m so glad cat Rita is doing better
I love it’s a Beautiful Life. I love being on the Green Couch.
The utter joy of those moments with Arita! The love was shining in your eyes Kate. Bless you both! X
It was a lovely surprise to see you this morning. I just sent you a message on your video with John and he's wonderful photo cards. I hope that you have a wonderful day with your wonderful family.
Take care rest well see you New year's Eve.
Thanks for the lovely story of Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah. Have a warm and cozy Xmas. ;>*
What a wonderful treat to see a message from you.... it has been a while, and i am glad you are enjoying the season. What a beautiful cat Rita is! Blessings to you and your family... human, furry, and feathered!

Thank you, Kate, for this lovely little Christmas Eve visit. I hope your Christmas will be joyous and blessed, and I wish you a New Year full of hope and peace and all good things. Greetings and best wishes to all the friends on the LGS!!
Merry Christmas Dear Kate from California.
Your room is so cozy. Love the quilt, Cat Rita and a pot of tea. Miss your true blue buddy, Norma.
Lost my dear Friend Eavie Kitty also.
Looking forward to 2022.
Be well Kate. You give me joy.
So good to see you this morning Kate! I loved the poem! Just wonderful. Merry Christmas to all. Let's try to be kind to animals of all kinds.
Cats have a way of filling a space beautifully, especially a break in the heart. So sweet to see Cat Rita giving Kate Mum some TLC this Christmas. In addition to forgiving you she might be thanking you for your TLC while she was ill. Merry Christmas! Thank you for the Christmas surprise. 💕🎄😁
Thank you so much for your visit!! Love to you and your family - people and animals :)
See you New Year's eve, Kate. It is wonderful when our four-legged companions read our needs and do their best to be there for us. That penguin wrap is so delightful. I'm glad you and Agnes have each other to love and amuse. See you in a blink. May Rita and Sadie call and truce and both be blessed with a long and healthy life with you. Much affection.
It's great to see you again, Kate. Merry Christmas to you and yours. I'm so glad to see you up and happy, it seems like forever since we've seen your lovely face. I know I speak for the hordes here on the lgs when I say how very much we've missed hearing from you. Not a day goes by that I don't think , "Oh Kate would like that, I should tell her' " or a book to tell you about or a knitting something or other.... or a quilty something or a garden , or .. or . Well you get my point, I miss you friend across the ocean, and wish you only "Blue skies and green lights ". Take care for the new year.
Thank you so much for popping in. You have such a beautiful reading voice, so mesmerizing. I look forward to seeing you on New /years Eve. I hope you had a fun time with your family.
Merry Christmas , dear Kate, to you and your family. Thank you so much for all your lovely different videos. It's so inspiring being part of your community, sitting on the lime green sofa and listening to you. You are wonderful people. 🤗🌹
To Kate
Have a merry Christmas to you and your family from me and my family downunder
How wonderful to see you on Christmas Eve Kate. How I enjoy you and your family and cats. God’s blessings ♥️♥️♥️
Very Merry Christmas to one and all!!
It’s Christmas Day here in Australia and I opened my box. It was so lovely to see all the gifts for real, remembering all the videos where we were able to see how everything was made and the other people involved. Martha drawing the goose, John taking the photos, the beautiful print of the cat, the amazing Christmas tree, the candles. Loved your stories, especially ‘The Kiss on the Train’. Because of ill health I’ve been isolating for over 7 months, I can’t tell you how much the box meant to me to have to open on Christmas morn. Made my day. Just the one gift, but your gift. Thank you Kate. I’m often on the lime green sofa, I’m passing along gingerbread moose. Enjoy!
Happy Christmas to you too Kate. Looking forward to New Years Eve at 10 pm xx
Love hearing you read
Merry Christmas to you and your family from my family and me here in Greensburg, Indiana.
Kate, you have gotten me through an adjustment to living alone. Many times you posts have lifted me up so I could move through my day with a happy, hopeful spirit. Thank you, dear friend.
Happy Christmas to you too Kate. So lovely to see you again chatting away and also enjoying cat Rita. Obviously she has stepped up and is claiming her spot. Yes she has forgiven you for all those trips to the vets. You’re looking great Kate and your hair looks really pretty. 🥰🎄🎁
Thank you for the Christmas greetings. I loved the Turkey poem. Blessings for the New Year. I wish you health and safety. See you on the lime green sofa.
Dearest Kate it is so good to see u, I have been so worried about u. Sweet Rita knew u needed a cat on ur lap and selflessly stepped up when u needed her. I loved the poem.
So very glad to see you. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have missed you so and very glad you are resting. Best wishes for 2022
Merry Christmas Kate, so good to see you today. You are looking rested, which is good. Happy New Year, see you New Years Eve.
Thank you for the poem. I have a turkey, and lots of other animals. The turkey came about 5 years ago in my garden and I discover that he was from a neighbour. I went to him and told him he could catch the turkey in the evening. The turkeys brother was already in the freezer (not mine) and my neighbour tried to catch the turkey. Didn't worked. A few days later he told me: maybe it is better you keep the turkey. I called him Frederique and yes, he knows his name. He is big, but very lovely. Never knew that about turkeys. He will not be the Christmas diner, thanksgiving diner or whatever diner. He stay with me as long as he wants, he can fly. I wish you and the cats and the other animals (and your family of course) a very good Christmas. See your video New Years eve.
hello Kate and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family..have a wonderful day
A very merry Christmas to you too, Kate!!! It is so lovely to see you and looking very well. The turkey poem was a hoot! I’m looking forward to New Year’s Eve with you and everyone on the lime green sofa! Have a joyful holiday! 🎄✨❤️
Merry Christmas. God bless us, everyone.
Happy Christmas to you and your family xx
Merry Christmas Kate, to your family too. Oh I can't forget Sadie, Cat Rita and Eilene also. I've enjoyed the times I've spent on the lime green sofa with everyone. I look forward to many more adventures in the coming new year.
Christmas greetings to you, Kate, your kitties and your family. Agnes is going to enjoy her books. My favorite gift. Glad Cat Rita is doing better. What a charming poem! I look forward to New Year's Eve.
Merry Christmas, dear Kate. It was good to see Rita so beautiful en purring. I wish you all happy times full of health and wishes come true. ❤️
Hello Kate! Merry Christmas! Hope your holiday is filled with fun, family and lots of love! Looking forward to Spending New YearsEve with you on the green sofa! See you then! ❤️🎄🎅🏻
I'm watching this video on February 22, 2023, and I am smiling because I enjoyed it so much! So cozy!
Lovely to see you Kate. I've missed our Sunday catch ups. I wish you and the family a very happy Christmas. Have a wonderful time with Agnes. Sue x (Southern England)
Kate, I loved that poem! I was giggling, as you read it, with the delightful smells of my turkey being baked in the oven filling the room. hehe We're having our big dinner this evening. My husband is a shift worker, and he will be on nights starting tomorrow. We are very limited as to who we can be in contact with, right now, so it will just be my husband, our son and me for dinner. We will enjoy it, though! I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and all throughout the holiday season, and look forward to your *Live, from the Lime Green Sofa* on NYE!
Wishing you a wondrous holiday with much joy!
My Christmas Box was absolutely wonderful. Thank you, thank you.
Winter blessings sent to you and your family and pets love your home, love the reading love your video.
So happy to see you on RUclips, Merry Christmas and a healthy New year for you, so sweet to see your patience with Rita, She knows you needed a new friend on your knee.
God bless you and your dear Family...Enjoy your holiday.
Oh Kate , thank you for posting! I loved the poem. Your gentle spirit brings a smile during a very difficult time.
Wishing you and all at the LLH the Happiest of Holidays and a blessed New Year. Your spirit brings such joy to so many. Have fruit muffins for all on the LGS and big pots of teas and coffee with all the fixins'. Special blessings for the Season to all on the LGS. 🤶🎅🧚♀️🍬🫖☃️🎄🎉🎏🛷🥖🥂❤
I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of Norma. I'm sure you must feel her absence in many ways during each day. Glad to see that cat Rita is well and oh, my, SUCH a beautiful cat! Merry Christmas!
Lovely to see you! Do have a good rest & have a happy holiday. It's funny how the "pecking order" changes when one of our beloveds pass on & often one of the shy ones step forward & become the new favorite.
And a Merry Christmas to you all in and around The Last Homely Home. Thank you for the spot in the limegreen sofa, I really enjoy visiting and learning so much.
Thank you ❤
A very merry Christmas to you and yours. We love you. Thank you, Kate. 💝 --- KateColors
Merry Christmas,Kate and family.xx
Merry Christmas from upstate New York US. Thank you to Kate, your sweet family, and lovely friends for sharing another year of life's adventures. I haven't decorated in over 20 years so I sorted ornaments today to pass along. I hope everyone is safe and well.
Merry Christmas Kate, thank you for your visits and friendship this year. So enjoy all you do for us. May you stay on the mend and have a happy healthy 2022. My best to you and your family.
It is so nice seeing a kittie around you again.
Kate, you are looking refreshed. Have a blessed Christmas, you and your lovely family..💟
I'm listening on this 2022 Christmas Eve and I was looking forward to the reading. Living alone at Christmas makes these moments warm and happy. Thank you dear Kate. I'm going to relisted to The Polar Exoress when this is done. Merry Christmas.
It was so good to see you today.I've missed your videos. Merry Christmas to you, cat Rita, Sadie and your family!Have a blessed day!I love your channel!
Good to see you Kate. You look well. Enjoy your Christmas holiday with your lovely family. I appreciate you sharing your life and family.
Merry Christmas Kate, I noticed a real spark about you when you speak of little Agnes! Grandchildren have a way of doing that to us. Enjoy the holidays with your family and friends.
Merry merry Christmas, Sweet Kate. I so enjoyed wrapping a few gifts with you and the fur babies.
♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️🎄♥️
Merry Christmas Kate from Kansas City, Missouri!
I was so sorry to hear you lost Norma, she looked so like my cat Missy whom ii rescued just before lockdown last March when us oldies were told to stay indoors. My companion of 21 years TIGER I lost in 2019 and he left a whole in my heart I thought would never be filled, then I got Missy after her elderly owners were to ill to look after her. She is a joy and I do jot know how I would have coped through all the madness of the past 2 years. I do so love your little videos and chats. Knitting and gardening are my 2 passions. Awrabest for 2022 as we say in Scotland and lang may yer lum reek x😁
I’m so happy to see you POP IN on Christmas Eve. Enjoy time with you family. Stay blessed.
What a lovely surprise to see you here Kate. I love the baskets you have put the presents in. Wishing you good health and happiness and a wonderful Christmas with your lovely family. 🎄🎄
Kate, what a delight you always are! I love listening to your little chats. I do miss your garden though, and Eileen!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well Kate. I look forward to watching you on New Years Eve. Thank you for reading the poem. That looks like an interesting book. I loved the turkey story. Rita cat does look so much better. Her fur is glossier and she has filled out nicely. She is letting you know she is there for you to love and she appreciates you getting her well even if it was not fun at the time. Since Christmas is almost over, I wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. BTW, thanks for the little clips of Agnes checking out her advent box and her tree.
Sending warm winter wishes to you Kate and all the family be they 2 legged or 4 legged. May your Christmas be peaceful and may the forthcoming New Year be a better one than the one behind us. Thank you.
Merry Christus to you all
How lovely to see you and lovely cat Rita. Wishing you a the best of the season and a happy and healthy 2022.
I love all your knitted blankets on the couch

Merry Christmas Kate, one of the best moments was you petting cat Rita and the beaming smile on your face. Enjoy every moment. See you on New Years Eve. I’ll bring the Melting Moment cookies. 🎄
I got a new knee for Christms yesterday on the 24T!h. Recuperating well in hospital, all the staff are so kind. A now a visit from you Kate, what a lovely surprise. All the best to everyone and have very Merry Christmas, love from 🇨🇦
Merry Christmas- lovely treat to get a hello! Your Rita is a beautiful cat. Hope you are enjoying your family and a little down time. You are a true blessing to those of us that so enjoy your channel.
AS REQUESTED KATE, ALL CAPS!!
Merry Christmas, Kate. I loved the turkey poem! There is a flock of wild turkeys that visit my feeder once each day, happy to eat the spilled seeds on the ground, and occasionally jumping up to knock extra seed out of the feeder holes should they crave a little extra. Perfect poem for my Christmas morning - thank you! Sending love.
What a gift to see you Kate ❤, Thanks and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 😊
I love it that cat Rita has stepped up to give love and help to fill the void left from Norma’s passing. She must know that you need her and probably she needs you. Loved hearing the story. Merry Christmas; looking forward to New Years Eve……………….
I think Sadie is one of those pets who would have liked to be an only child! And sweet cat Rita is appreciative of your recent care for her. Merry Christmas, Kate! Much love and peace to you and yours.
Merry Christmas Kate. I loved that you read Benjamin Zephaniah.
