My Christmas Decorations






Decorating my home for Christmas is not quite the same without my daughter. It's a lot more fun when someone helps put up the ornaments, lights etc...She was such a great help. My son is not at all into decorating; I did get Cliff to put some lights outside on the palms, icicle lights on the porch and today he even helped me put some greenery on the porch, at the door and we decorated the mailbox.

This is the second year I've done an artificial skinny tree. These trees do take lots less space, there is just not as much surface to hang ornaments. Carla, my cat has even ignored the tree this year. She used to get under the tree. She's not doing that anymore; I guess she is getting older too. The process of decorating the tree was done during the week. I have not decided what do do with the mantle....which should take lots less time to do.

Hellooo mama :-)
I have some of those ornaments on my tree as well!
I love the home made ones.

Maybe it wont be to much longer and we can be there for the christmas season and I can help you decorate again.

Travis really enjoys decorating.. Im glad... cause it would be boring without a helper.

I think Yuki is obsessed with our tree... mainly because its real and full of water. He drinks from it constantly... and knocks ornaments off...
I spray him with the water bottle a lot :-)

Yuki did climb our tree before the lights were put on :-) he hasnt climbed it since though.

I think its mainly because he is a kitten... hes curious. He may calm down next year.

Hello Andrea - Yes, your kitty will be drawn to the christmas tree for years. And if there is a source of water that makes it attractive to them. Cats are stubborn and very hard to correct & discipline.
