Well I tried to put up the tree this weekend. And Samwise just couldn't resist, he tired to climb it and knocked it over. Broke a few ornaments and the tree stand.
Thankfully neither he nor Gandalf were hurt. Although I did have to take the tree down, I don't plan on putting it back up again for a while.
Poor little Samwise it, scared him for all of two minutes then he wanted to investigate. I had to lock him and Gandalf both up in the bedroom while I cleaned up to keep them safe for the broken glass.

We bought our house in June 2005. Yes, it was so much fun! Anthony and I put up the tree together; that tree was my sisters first tree, so I had to go out and buy all new decorations for it
Anthony put up the the Christmas lights out side for the first time, that was funny to watch.

Everyone's decorations look so festive!! We put our tree up the past weekend. I'm waiting for the sun to come back out so I can get a decent picture of it. It only took a few squirts from the water bottle for each cat to get the message that it was okay to look and sniff, but not to climb. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will not need a refresher course in a few days.
Here are two ornaments that I thought ya'll might be interested in. The first one was given to us by my mother-in-law. I bet you can guess where and when she got it!
And here's one of a set of three wooden cat ornaments I purchased this year from the Animal Rescue Site. There's a teal one, a white one and an orange one. They all have cute polka-dots.
Sorry about the poor lighting. I'll be very happy to see the sun again!

I'll bet your cats love to skid across that floor!Your decorations are very nice!
And Purr that is tulle that I wrapped the tree with. It was left over from my wedding a few years ago, as were the stars....but I originally bought the stars at Christmas time to use at my June wedding! Its funny how things all come full circle!Originally Posted by Purr
Ieveryone's decorations! It's making me want to decorate! akbeck98, yours are so pretty--that's what I would want if I decorated.I love the stars especially...and the white thing around the tree.
Our tree is very simple, with family's Russian ornaments here and there.
I thought we'd go with my small, 3' fake tree this year since we still live in our little apartment. Nope! Bradley really wanted a real tree and I'm so glad he got one- I love it and it smells great! We just got done putting it up.

The finished results
We took some extra branches and entwined them with some white lights above the windows
Some of my favorite ornaments: The Democrat donkey I bought in DC and a pretty white cat ornament

Everyone's decorations are very nice! It's so fun to see them all... thanks for sharing!
Thanks
OH I LOVE your outdoor lights! the next city down from me has a Christmas Tree lane and 2 streets have outside lights and decorations all lit up. People who buy on the two streets have to agree to keep up the tradition!Originally Posted by catsplay.com
this is a fun thread! My husband LOVES decorating for Christmas, I mean LOVES it! He starts planning MONTHs ahead, and our house is 'famous' as a landmark in the neighborhood each year. I haven't taken pics this year yet, but here are a few pics from a couple of years ago!
This year we are actually not doing so much outside, because we just had an addition put on our house and he got tied up and too busy with that to focus on the lights a lot. But I will take some pics of this year's stuff and post them soon.
Well there all great, I finally got mine up left it bare for 3 days, miniman made a bed in it about half way up
Zinger is so sneeky everytime I look she's in there under it, I finally decorated it last night and it looks Beautiful, I got some pictures on Digital, and regular but I thought the digital were not good, so I will have to get the film so I can get the CD to share
Great decorations everyone
We decorate late and sparsely -- partly because in Christmas decorations, I've always been of the "less is more" school -- partly from sheer inertia
I had been going to do it last weekend, but it didn't happen, so I waited until the cleaners had been -- which ended up being a day late
Anyway, eventually, it happened this afternoon.
Here's the tree. Those who have finished their wrapping have added parcels; those who have not, will do so later...
I didn't do lights this year. We had a small electrical fire a couple of weeks ago, and I'm just electricity-anxious at the moment, so when two of the three strings of lights didn't light up when I tested them, I just put them all away. Probably only a dead bulb in each, I know, but my anxiety quotient just skyrocketed at that moment -- 'tain't worth it.
