2 years ago one of our kittens climbed our tree and got her leg tangled in the string of lights.
The more we tried to free her the tighter it got.
She was screaming like a baby!
We had to cut the lights to get her free!

We'll go cut ours down on the second. It'll get decorated on the 8th.

Why the time delay?

The 1st is my sons 13th birthday party. His actual birthday is the 5th, and all of the other days are Christmas practice days.

My daughter has ballet on Monday, I have to be at the church for our Christmas production dress rehearsals on Tuesday, and Thursday. Friday night is opening night, Saturday is a matinee, and Sunday is an additional matinee. So IF we plan on having it up before Christmas, we have to do it on Saturday night...the next weekend is just as maddening...

This will be the first year in many that we will actually have a tree. We do not celebrate as those who have denominational ties do. But we decided this year to try to get back to our traditional roots from pre World War One Czechoslovakia and Bohemia and decorate a tree just for a couple days using the antique 1860's vintage ornaments that have been in storage for countless decades. We even put out our 140 year old Nativity figures in late September for our celebration at that time.

So far, no more broken ornaments on the floor, and I haven't seen a cat go near it. If you want, I'll get the name brand for you so you can bring your tree back inside.

It's ok , I'll just leave it there and all the neibours can enjoy it. They have already said they like it there. I don't mind ... I have a little one inside. Thanks anyways.

One cat already broke my snow man that has a candle in it . Fortunately the candle was not lit.

Dusty; Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide a photo of the tree and antique ornaments in late December (PM to follow), but I do have a shot of the 1860's vintage Nativity figures from September. The photo only shows about half the figures. These figures are approximately 5 inches high and I couldn't get all of them in the shot.

This was set up on a wooden platform with a set of blinds as the background. I used a digital imaging software program to actually insert a hand drawn Middle East desert and sand background onto that set of blinds and this was the final result...
