I don't know if anyone is celebrating Catmas this year, but I'm a fan, so I will celebrate it quietly. Happy Catmas, everyone!
What is Catmas? Joey deVilla says ...
Back around the fall of 2003, Ross and I wanted to come up with a little event to commemorate the launch of Blogware, the software with which our blogs (and this blog) are built. It didn't take long for us to settle on "Post a Picture of a Cat to Your Blog Day", an unwieldy title that refers to the cliche that bloggers always post pictures of their cat on their blogs. The day took place on Friday, October 3rd, 2003 and enough blogs participated for us to call it a success. From that day forth, we declared that the first Friday in October would be the official day on which you should partake in that most bloggy of blog activities: posting a picture of a cat on your blog.
The following year, we gave the day a pithier name: BlogACatMas, and more people participated. By 2005, BlogACatMas had caught the attention of the Canadian national newspaper, the Globe and Mail, which made mention of our holiday in an article titled The Truth About Cats and Blogs.
There isn't a post about Catmas 2008 up on their blog, but that's OK. Catmas 2008 Lives! We'll keep the torch lit this year. And I look for a resurgence of Catmas in 2009!!
