I only had a cat & tree incident once. I had purchased an ornament that made twittering noises like a bird and put it high in the tree. You can guess what happened.
Remember the Sears Christmas Wish Book catalog, looking forward to that every year? Here's a cool YT video about it (don't worry about the "unsuitable for children under 13" thing on it; only thing I can figure is because the catalog has guns it it maybe; anyway a fun watch):
Oh, nooo, I made the mistake of looking at the site that sells these (lightedwaterlanterns.com); now I want one of everything they sell, lol! They've got beautiful stuff, ohmygosh, you all, so pretty! So you've been warned, lol.
About 10 years ago, on another nice site I was on, one year shortly after Thanksgiving,, a gal started a thread called "Done." She said she had finished up all her gift shopping, had all the gifts wrapped and already mailed the ones that need to be mailed, had finished decorating her place, and had finished up all her baking too.
All of the replies except the last one were along the same lines: "I'm done too" or "I'm almost done, just got one more gift to mail", etc. And then one gal posted a reply that still makes me laugh (since I could totally relate); she said: "Y'all make me sick! I haven't even started yet! Y'all are disgusting!"
