CHRISTMAS MAGIC

THE PETS WHO SAVED CHRISTMAS

"What kind of cat burglar brings her kitties?" groused tough state policeman Mike Burnette. Then Mike learned that his irrepressible intruder was actually Casey Crawford, his new_unwelcome_ housematefor the entire holiday season. Bah, humbug!

The rugged Scrooge warily tolerated caroling Casey's enthusiastic Christmas spirit, and stared in disbelief as she and her feline companions mesmerized his dog, enchanted his neighbors and even tried to "transform" the resident Grinch! Mike knew there was no such thing as love or happiness for a lifetime. But somehow, with Casey cuddled beside him, it was hard not to wish upon his special star.
