Christmas Tree

[Cataholic]

Real tree here. Angel on top. J is already asking 'when are we getting our tree'? We will probably get one the second week in December.

With 2 kittens under 6 months, well, actually, they both will be six months by then, I am DREADING IT!!!

we've always had an artificial tree, put up whenever I got around to it, generally the 1st or 2nd week of December. Usually a star on top, sometimes an angel, occasionally a small Santa hat. My last cat Montego never paid any attention to the tree. I think my current two aren't gonna be so cooperative, so not sure I'll put one up this year.

We've been doing an artificial tree for about 10 years now. Will probably put it up next weekend.

Christmas 2001 we got it halfway up - then our newest kitten, Reese, decided she would take over. I would find her napping amongst the branches.

2002 she was older and heavier, but not any wiser. We did put it up completely, but did not decorate. Finally in 2003 we managed to get it up, and decorated. To this day she still considers it her tree, and will attempt to climb it at least once while it's up.

We always had a real tree until I bought a prelit aritifical one about five years ago. I don't regret it. Will probably put it up just after Thanksgiving. I always have an angel on top.

UGH I am SO bummed and it's my OWN fault.

I wanted to put up our tree tonight. but when Brian brought it down from the attic for me the stand wasn't in there and I have NO idea where I put it WHY didn't I put it in with the tree? so... no luck tonight. was really looking forward to it

will have to go out and get a stand tomorrow

but we use an artificial tree. as a child my mom always had an artificial tree and my dad always took us out to get a real tree. so I had the best of both worlds but HATED stepping on the needles in the carpet until after christmas and they are impossible to get rid of.

we might get a real one some day but as long as the tree is on carpet it will be artificial.

we are just starting our christmas traditions and decorations so right now we have a star on top that changes color and the tree is a beginner tree lol not really pretty but makes me happy

My biggest headache this year will be keeping hannah from playing with it. I KNOW she isn't going to be able to resist the lights and shiny things lol. so that will be an adventure

Growing up we always had real trees. For several years we got the live potted trees. My dad planted one outside but it grew so high it blocked his satellite dish so they just cut it down. Now that dish doesn't even work.
When I moved in with Bruce we had live ones for a couple years. Then one year we got a gift card for Home Depot and found a tree on sale. So now it's a fake one for us and we both like it better. No needles and stringing lights and it's paid for itself a long time ago.
Last year Paizly climbed the tree several times (I believe she even broke a branch). I'm worried about this year because she is much bigger now! And Taggarts tail always creates problems. So there will be no ornaments along the bottom. I am hoping Bruce will get the Xmas things down the weekend after Thanksgiving so I can slowly start putting things up.

aww! everyone's ideas sounds like fun! I can't wait till we get a tree. I don't know if we'll get a real one or not this year-it's really up to my mom. I like having a real tree, but the lights that are already on the artificial ones sure are nice; especially when it comes time for taking it down!!
