So who is brave enough to put a tree up this year?

We will see if it works. Hubby and I placed bets. He said it will be ruined by morning, I said by tomorrow night

* FINGERS CROSSED FOR THE WELL BEING OF MY TREE *

Oh I can't wait to hear who was right, but I am thinking it will be your hubby!

I did!!! It's artificial and has been up since 11/29. My gang does not bother the tree, although they do like to mess with the tree skirt all the time.

The year that my grandmother died, my mom's gang were extremely naughty. They knocked the tree over, managed to take it apart in pieces and dragged it down to the basement. My mom was heartbroken and swore that she would never put up another tree.....but we have managed to not have that happen again by having the tree tied down to the window handles.

Not this year, no no.

Usually, we have a 6 foot cut tree in the living room. Last year, I had 3 under a year old, and decided to use a 4 foot fake tree. That sure kept all of us busy, he hee.

Then in January, Tommy & Tuppence arrived here. Tommy is Mr. Mischief, he is in to EVERYTHING! So I will use the small fake tree again. He is going to think it's a new toy just for him.

I know Butter has a reputation for being bad, but one thing he has never done is pay any attention to the tree. Mimi (Rainbow Bridge Kitty ) used to love to sleep underneath the tree. The only bad memory of a tree in recent history was Zippper (Rainbow Bridge Golden Retriever), who was in the living room while we were watching tv and decided the tree was tempting to pee on! We were horrified!

We are very careful having any dog in the living room these days, especially the boys!!!!

I have a tree up! I always do, and we have just someminor issues. Tabby EVERY year decides that she should pee on the tree skirt! (I get a new one every year at the after Christmas sales!) Sasha likes to knaw on the lights! She also bats at the ornaments and it is not uncommon to come home and find some ornaments laying in the middle of the living room.

This year, I am in a new place, and have 10 foot ceilings, which makes my little tree look awful! So I improvised and set the tree on a storage container. Maybe, just maybe, the girls will behave themselves this year!

Funny stories!

I, too, have gone back and forth with the tree, depending on the age of the kittens in the house. BUT, with a 4 year old....trees aren't optional anymore. Last year it wasn't too horrible with Arizona, who was just a couple of months old. I had a few broken ornaments to address. This year, though, I think will be worse. She is a fat arse kitty now, and is so trouble-minded! Between her and Jonah, who can't keep his mitts off of the decorations already up (and asks every 12 hours, "are we getting a tree today"?) it should be fun.

What is Christmas without a horizonal tree incident, anyhow?
