When my Lexie arrived we no longer had a tree because she is the type to destroy it, has done with most things in the house, however i have the house decorated and she seems to leave most of that alone and now i have a gorgeous little xmas tree with lights only that is musical, i picked it up last year, was 90 dollars and got it for 10, i remember posting about my great bargain.

I was sad reading your thread about being depressed and alone on xmas, i too have arthritis and i can well empathise how much effort it takes just to do the little things in life,i hope you can find some happiness at xmas time and I will be thinking of you.
