We just finished! Boy, it's so easy with a pre-lit tree and children old enough to really decorate! Hey, they may all be in the front and 4 or five to a branch but it's done!
So who has their Christmas tree up?

Oh how funny - I must admit, I have to have one tree in the house that looks "perfect" and that one is in our living room. I take hours to carefully place every ornament. We put a smaller tree in the family room and the kids are allowed to hang ornaments whereever they see fit (but first Mom has to put the lights on it!)

I used to dream of a "perfect" tree, but finally realized what makes it perfect is the love that is shown when you are putting it up. Now I look at the branches with pleasure.
We used to.... when we had cats. They always batted off the ball ornaments, chased them around, broke them, etc. Our dogs have no interest in the tree at all.Mermaid said:
BTW, who is the lovely mermaid in your new avatar??!!
If I had a tree, the entire tree would be pet friendly. Their tails alone would beat every ornament off the tree. I can just see them wrestling one day when I am out, turn over the tree, and chew it it to shreds. They both love to chew on sticks and help me clear limbs. Last Christmas, one of Santa's little helpers was helping me to deliver gift baskets filled with goodies. When I went back to the car after my first stop, my little helper was in the back of the car looking very sweet and innocent, yet all of the remaining baskets had been ripped into, much candy was missing and partially wrapped peppermints were scattered about the car with an icky and sticky peppermint/chocolate slobber all over them. I had to regroup, return home, repackage, and attempt a second delivery without my little helper.Mermaid said:
For sure, my Christmas tree is best left planted in the ground.;-)
Awwwww, I'm sure it's funny now, but I would've been pretty unhappy if that had been my 2 dogs!!
