Christmas decorations
The Christmas tree went up today. I know that last year I said “Never Again!”, but it really wouldn’t be Christmas without a tree, would it?
The main problem seems to be the tree’s in-ability to stay upright (a bit like me after a few sherrys). I often wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of a crash. My immediate thought is that Billy the Burglar is paying me a visit and has tripped over the cats.
I rush into the kitchen (not a pretty site, straight from bed) to find the Christmas Tree on the floor with two bemused cats sat next to it (one with tinsel in his mouth – you know who I’m taking about, Sammy boy, don’t you?)
Cindy will then try to explain… “It just jumped up all on its own and then fell over on the floor. We didn’t touch it at all. It woke me and Sammy up, it did!”
Billy the Burglar, come and visit please – just take my naughty cats away, when you do! I just know that for the next 9 months, I’ll be finding tinsel and baubles hidden all over the house. It’s almost worth all the pain though, to see both of the cats snuggled up together in front of the tree, just gazing at the lights flickering on and off (and obviously planning their next ascent!)
All the best
