OK, the tree is up.


OK, the tree is up. I kept the lowest layer free of decorations for two reasons: Garfield and Gigi. Empirical studies last year showed a significant increase in lifetime for decorations above the first level. I hope the studies will be confirmed this year.

Your observations are funny! I got a bare tree decoration to use this year and put it atop a table in the living room. Dog and cat proof, I hope. Well... maybe not cat proof. But too skinny for the cat to climb.Your tree looks great to me - like an old-fashioned Christmas tree.

cobalt please thanks! I never really had to worry about Nimrod doing something to the tree, but the tigers were there from the moment I started to unpack. So far no new casualties, fingers crossed...

Our cat would climb up to the second tier of branches and spread himself for a nap when he wasn't amusing himself by swatting at the decor. It got so that in later years we were putting up the tree for him!
