I have a fake tree with unbreakable ornaments and plastic icicles. Missy only sleeps under it! RB Sassy, however, her first Christmas was another story. We had a real tree, which she only climbed once, didn't know how to get down, so never climbed it again. Every day, when I got home from work, the ornaments were GONE! By the time Christmas got here, I was literally throwing them back on the tree. As for the lights, many nights I went to light the tree and a strand wasn't lit. She had pulled out a bulb! She was only five months old then, and never touched the tree after the first year.
