Peace Tree
So far there are no ornament casualties at my house…. it sort of surprises me. But the crummy ornaments are all along the bottom of the tree, just in case.

If you think a cat can be destructive, just try living with a parrot!
When he was about two years old, our cat – Thomas Stearns Eliot – got it into his fool head to run right at our eight foot Christmas tree, jump about halfway up, then finish running to the top. Down they came, both pine and feline. Crash!
Fortunately, nothing on the tree was broken and Eliot, now almost sixteen years old, never went up the tree again.
Ho, ho! TSE learned the lesson hard way, eh, Pete…? … That musta scared him good! It’s good only took ONCE!
And Crow….. Parrots like trees, don’t they? Um… A live ornament for your Christmas tree? Are your other ornaments covered in poopee de birdee?
We’ve found a system to keep cats off holiday decorations: Deck the halls with A5-35, fa la la la, la la la la!
We once had cat crawl up the tree and sit on the branches in the middle, we had SO much fun getting him out (I say this because I didn’t help at all).
OH! please, don’t get me started on horror stories involving cats and Christmas trees! This one time, our cat actually climbed to the top of the tree, knocked off the little angel (Yes, I have an angel, not a star, bite me if you don’t like it) then the noise scared him, he fell off, taking the tree down with him, had I not been there, staring in abstract horror, I might’ve had a house fire from the busted lights : /
Sorry for ranting, don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Oh man, this brings back memories of my cat when I was younger. We couldn’t keep our cat away!
