It’s Time to Trim the Tree

My human actually had the Christmas tree out of the closet the day after Thanksgiving. But she has been lax about trimming it. She got it partway done before we left for Portland. So now that we are back, I decided I’d better help her out.

For reasons too lengthy to get into, she doesn’t have any actual heirloom ornaments. Unless you count the ones she got herself in the early 1990s. They do date back over 25 years, so that is pretty vintage! I told her which ones to put on the tree next.

You probably figured that she had quite a few cat ornaments.

Some of them she acquired more recently, like this one. She found several that featured a mischievous calico cat a few years ago. The cat before Binga and Sparkle was a calico, and was a very special cat to her, so she got them.

Don’t worry, I don’t play with the ornaments. Actually, neither did Binga, if you can believe that! And Boodie just doesn’t care.

With my help, my human got a lot done with the tree before going out to meet a friend. There are still more ornaments to put up, but it is looking good already!
