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.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

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.

Leifur likes to lounge on the tree skirt, but that's about all the interest he shows. Which is a relief. Several of my ornaments involve feathers, but unless those are on a live bird, the cat doesn't seem to care.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My next door neighbors, on the other hand, have a male dog who thinks he has to mark EVERY tree, including Christmas trees.
Some good friends of mine used to set up their manger scene under the Christmas tree until they got a male dog. Let us just say that blasphemy happened, and leave it at that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Anne. Hilarious and disturbing. Did they rename the dog Mapplethorpe?

No, but they were quite horrified. The mantel became the new tradition after that.

OMG. I am laughing out loud over here.

Hee. My mom used to make gingerbread mangers but gingerbread baby Jesus disappeared over and over. At first we got blamed but it turned out that that figure was juuust within the dog's reach.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
le nubian! We got the Reese's cups today! I had forgotten about them, and so I just looked at the box, unopened, for about 3 minutes, trying to decide if I was accidentally going to open Christmas present from my brother (because he shopped early and we've been getting stuff in the mail all week). I finally decided that I was 90% sure we had everything from my brother, and I would risk ruining the surprise if it WAS from him.
Needless to say, I laughed and laughed when I opened the box, since I had forgotten all about them. Thank you!!!

(laughing out loud)
sorry about that. I had way too much travel in November and didn't really have a moment to mail them out. You got them quick!

Oh, like I said, I forgot about them, so it's not like I was sitting around all November glaring at the computer and bemoaning my Reese's-less state. It was a hilarious surprise today!
