Laura, you are the best. He will absolutely love to see you and the parade.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Picked up a smaller tree, about 5 feet. Decorated it with sentimental favorite ornaments and mardi gras beads!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Nora, our tree is just under 5 feet this year, and I love it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We have a small tree (4 feet, maybe) that we put on a side table, because our house is small and the dog and cats would knock over a tree that sits on the floor. In about 20 seconds.

We have 2 cats, and even the young frisky one is pretty good about Christmas trees. He'll play with low-branch ornaments in the night some, but we've never had a flying leap or other sort of full-on attack. I did once observe the felling of a tree by a climbing adolescent kitten, and it was very exciting! (Our tree is currently bare and resting. Come down, you branches! I think at the current rate of descent we will not be trimming until tomorrow.)

I consider myself very lucky in that Miss Kitty and Noodle both basically ignore the tree and any ornaments. Noodle was very interested in the lights when I was checking them and they were laid on the floor. But now that everything is up, they haven't flipped over anything. Knock on wood, toss salt over my shoulder and whatever else you are supposed to do to prevent jinxing yourself.

Our wings are not tired.
Never had a problem with any tree with any of my pets.
My next door neighbors, on the other hand, have a male dog who thinks he has to mark EVERY tree, including Christmas trees. Gross. I think they've gotten to the point, after years of trying barriers, on top of tables, etc, that they're just giving up.

Thrive to spite them
The way Penny acts around anything sparkly I'm afraid to put a tree. Plus I don't have room for it. Although I want to get some kind of crystal or suncatcher to put in a window to drive crazy chasing after the sparklies.
She runs everytime the front door opens and tries to catch the light that reflects off window.

No idea how the cat would deal with a big tree--he's often entirely uninterested in our crazy antics ("get the mousie! look it's a moving point! kill it!" and he's like "Uh...no, I'm napping you stupid humans"). But we got a 3' or 4' tree and put it on the countertop, which he is too fat to get up on.
