I started doing this 30 years ago. The dog we had at that time would tell us there was an earthquake in NJ every day. SOOOO I put a small cup hook in the ceiling and would use monofilament fishing line from the top of the tree to the hook. HA HA no more earth quakes. Now we only put unbreakable balls on the lower branches and no one seems interested in climbing the tree, at least while we are home.
So a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from the CREW of 8
