Hello, I'm Manclar and I welcome you to my vlog.

Today, Tuesday of the five-day Christmas challenge for 3shorts, I want to tell you a funny story that happened to me a few years ago.

This story is part of the Christmas party theme meeting of @talentos with @angelica7,

I hope you have fun and are encouraged to share your own Christmas stories.

family tradition
In my family we have a tradition of placing the nativity scene and the tree in our home.

The nativity scene represents the birth of Jesus and the tree symbolizes life and hope.

We like to decorate them with lights, spheres, bows and other decorations that give them a festive and cheerful touch.

The nativity scene is generally placed at the foot of the tree, so that everything is integrated and harmonious. This is how we did it since I was a child and this is how I have continued to do it until now.

The protagonist of the story
At that time I had my cat, called Manclar.

He was a black cat with a white spot on his chest and very expressive greenish-yellow eyes. I adopted him when he was a puppy and since then he became my faithful companion.

He lived alone, my parents were no longer here. They had moved to the spirit realm. They were my only company and I really missed them.

But you know what felines are like, that they like to find out and investigate many things.

They are curious by nature and cannot resist exploring everything that catches their attention. And that's what happened to Manclar with the Christmas tree.

Manclar's prank
I set up my little tree, a little tree that reached more or less to the level of my neck.

One of these artificial trees with the different decorations and the different little things, the colored lights. I really liked how it looked and admired it with pride.

And well, nothing, I put it. I placed it in a corner of the living room, near the window, so that it could be seen from the outside. I plugged it in and turned it on. The lights flickered and created a magical effect.

The next day, well, I start preparing food for my cat. He had bought her a special food, the kind that comes in a can and smells really good. I knew he loved it and I wanted to give him a treat.

And when I look for it, I can't find it anywhere. And where are you, Manclar? Where did you go? I call him by his name, I whistle at him, I make noises with the can. Nothing. He does not appear.

I look for it everywhere and when I come to see, the cat was hiding inside the tree behind the lights.

I don't understand how he got there, but it's an impressive thing. In other words, the ability of these felines.

I don't understand how they are able to do this kind of thing and demonize themselves, because they like to lurk, to be there all the time.

Manclar looked at me with a face of innocence, as if he had done nothing wrong.

But I knew he was up to something.

And well, the truth is that my cat got hidden inside the tree and fortunately I was able to get him and get him out of there.

It wasn't easy, because the cat resisted and clung to the branches. I had to be careful not to break anything or hurt him.

But in the end I took him out and scolded him. I told him he couldn't do that, that it was dangerous, that he could get burned or electrocuted. I told him that the tree was not a toy, that it was a Christmas decoration. I told him he had to respect him and leave him alone.

The happy ending
But it's a funny story about something that happened to me. He made me laugh a lot and taught me a lesson.

He made me see that cats are wonderful beings, that they have their own personality and that they surprise us with their occurrences.

He made me see that cats are part of our family and that they give us a lot of love and company. I understood that cats are a gift of life and that they must be cared for and loved.

And you? Has something similar happened to you? Let me know in the comments. I would love to read your stories and share this Christmas spirit with you.

Thanks for watching my vlog.

I'll wait for you tomorrow with another story.

See you soon.
