No tree this year for I don't feel it would survive my two kittens! I really haven't put up a true Christmas tree for the past 10 years. My living room is tiny and with a Great Dane it has always seemed like a bad mix. One swipe of his tail and the tree would be on the floor. I have, however, decorated the cat tree my brother-in-law made me several years ago. He literally cut down a small tree, removed the bark and put perches at the end of each branch (the cats love it). I have in the past put lights on it and hung my ornaments (gifts from students and an ornament for each past and current pet). I have found myself tearing up when I put past pet ornaments on the tree for it makes me realize I how much I miss them and more importantly how much they shared with me the years they were with me. I need to find some ornaments for my three new additions - I think I'll shop tomorrow while I look for my final gift for my SS. I do love the holidays!
