Today my wife and I went out and got ours Christmas Tree. Last year the one we had was alittle bit too big, had to stand on a chair to put on the star (we're both short)
and had a hard time getting it out the door to throw it out without pine needles going everywhere. This year we got one just the right size. Plus, the lot is right next to a local seafood place, and I got a coupon for a free Fish 'n Chip dinner. Sweet
It was our second year doing a tree, and first year doing a tree with a cat. First, I learned from my mistakes last year and did all my trimming BEFORE I set up the tree. Unfortunately our stand crapped out on us like it did last year and we had to get a new one. It's one of the plastic ones with 4 screws to hold the tree in place, except each screw was supposed to have a rubber stopper at the end, and only two of them did, so the tree wouldn't stay straight. We had to get a new stand, and then take the decorated tree out and put it in the new one..that was fun. It's more sturdy but not as heavy as the last so hopefully Reeses won't try and climb the tree, just in case
As far as how she's behaving with the tree, so far so good. She tried chewing on a few branches (will that make cats sick?) and of course had to do the usual batting of ornaments. She did try to climb in the lower part of the tree twice, but I don't think she'll get too far
Anyway here are a few pictures I took. Already she likes sleeping under the tree, as you can see in this picture. What's cool about this picture is it looks like her eyes are lit up too
..and here it is all lit up with the lights off, no flash. Oooooo!
...oh and if anyone knows a good way to remove pine sap from your hands, let me know
