So who has their Christmas tree up?

We do, since the cats will bat and paw them off. Does anyone have a cat that climbs their tree? Our cats have all had a turn and one cat will sit on a branch and stick her head out. All you can see is what looks like a cat ornament! (Like my avatar.) I don't have any gifts under the tree now, so the cats think we have made them a bed by putting down the tree skirt. Two of them are asleep on it now.
We had a beagle once who kept trying to hike his leg on the tree.
I just finished decorating my tree tonight. It is quite unique--pet and child friendly. We have a 16-month-old so we have to put ALL of the ornaments out of his reach--even the unbreakable ones. So the bottom 1/3 of the tree has no ornaments, just lights. I'm sure that sooner or later he's going to figure out how to pull the whole string of lights off the tree.
We picked up a tree yesterday and have it "relaxing" in the house. Plan to string it with lights tonight and tomorrow night the ornaments go on. We do some outside lighting but just on the bushes out front. We did not do a tree last year because our puppy was only 6 months old so now that he is 18 mos we are going to give it a try. So far he just smelled it and kept right on walking by.

I was raised Episcopal but married a Jewish guy (yes, not only do we have the "wrong" accent here, but also the wrong religion) but I never converted and we always celebrate Christmas because, well, I love it.
No tree this year though.
All of our stuff is in storage.
This is the most un-Christmasy I've ever felt.
But I continue to enjoy everyone's holiday avatars, especially yours, Mermaid.

So is coffee and spiced rum, but my chocolate and peppermint eating pup had a drink or two a couple of weeks ago.
Caffeine is dangerous for the dogs.
FYI- Lillies are the most dangerous plants for kitties, and this time of the year is most problemsome.

Probably good to mention these things! I read an article listing dangerous people food for dogs and grapes and raisins were on the list. I used to feed grapes to Missy the sheltie all the time. YIKES! Also, I have heard of a dog that got into the Christmas ham and almost died!! I bet jdarg has a good list of things for our loved ones to avoid.
