TREED

I was all set to put up the BIG Christmas tree this year...one of those 8' Costco jobs that we've had stored in the attic for 3 or so years, since the last time we felt like going "whole hog" at Christmas. After all, Chris and Susan will be up so we want to have the place look festive. But then we remembered...right after Chase chewed up one sleeve on my pajamas..."Gee," we said, "maybe a big tree that would have to sit on the floor isn't such a good idea...do you think?" It's not easy having a puppy again...how soon we forget! Chase never saw anything that he wouldn't chew, if given the opportunity...

So we found a small "entryway" style tree and set it up on the marble topped sideboard. With the mirror behind it, the light from it fills the room with enough "festive-ness" we think. The Izzie can still get up there and bat around a few things, but so far so goooood.
