Pictures of the Season -- Please post yours

Before the cats got ahold of the tree and after.

Heh. That's a wonderfully evocative pair of pictures, Rothgar. (Also a very pretty tree before the cats got to work on it.)

When we had cats, we limited ourselves to more-or-less unbreakable ornaments (I say more-or-less because sometimes the cats found a way despite our best efforts), and we spent a lot of time picking up decorations and putting them back where they belonged. When we had young children and young dogs, we always had a small tree on a high table.

Now that we no longer have cats, and the dogs and children have all reached ages of greater wisdom and discretion, I get to decorate as I please -- and when we babysit the grandchildren, barricade one end of the living room with furniture.

I hope you had a blessed Christmas holiday season, Teresa! I must say beautiful decorations seem to abound at your household.

Our cats seem to not care about the ornaments on the tree, although under the tree is one of their favorite roosting places during the holidays.
