Prepare the way...

We just watched the first part of "Angels in America." I feel battered, bruised, run over by a truck. Very affecting drama with solid performances. Wow.

In other news, we decorated for Christmas this evening. I consider that quite an accomplishment, given the trepidation with which I view the holidays. But we put up the tree and decorated it while listening to the Nutcracker, then strung the extra lights along the living room. I am pleased to report that this makes me feel happy and celebratory.

Don't you have cats? (Just askin'... cuz all the wonder of my tree has now vanished as the cats climb further and further to the top)

Generally our cats don't mess with the tree that much. Frank will chew on it a bit. One of these days I swear he'll get electrocuted from chewing on the lights. Won't stop him from doing it in the future, of course.

The boys really aren't climbers. They'll bat at any low-hanging ornaments, which is why nothing breakable goes on low branches. And there's the chewing.

All of my breakables have been removed and the rest are huddled in the top 2 feet of the tree. It's not a very pretty tree anymore, but as long as the kitties like it. Next year hopefully they will not be so destructive.

Ah. We're lucky in that respect. We just have to keep things off the bottom-most branches. They like to bat at things, but that's about it.

In past years I've caught them dozing under the tree. I think they enjoy the lights and the enclosed feeling. Our kitties are big saps.
