of decorating our Christmas tree...please say a prayer of thanksgiving that my four year old did not break any of the precious heirloom ornaments that we entrusted her with this year.

For several years I purposly decorated my tree with small beanies and stuffed bears specifically so if the cats climbed it they would not break anything. They never did, so I switched up. Now I have a couple of different cats. Murphy's law may have an effect.......

3. we lost our cat of 16 years this year |
|
so that is not the reason for the raised ornaments...it is the 1.5 year old little human that is the biggest fear...

5. When you have little ones around, you can put the tree in a play |
|
pen and let the kids go free range to keep them all safe. Another tactic is to put the tree on a sheet of plywood raised about a foot off the ground. That only works if your kids aren't climbers.
