Oh, Christmas Tree

Well, if you haven't been over, the place looks much fuller than it did last time you saw pictures. We have furniture and stuff!

However, we still only have one chair for the big table.


But we have more than one couch. We actually have more couches than we need. One has become the place for cool cats to hang out. We still have cool stained-glass windows and a nifty light. We've yet to have a fire in the fireplace this year, but it's in the works.


We also have a Christmas tree! The same fake, from-Lowe's, bought-on-Black-Friday, tree that Gracie climbed last year (we got smart and bought another kitty-zapper this time so she can't perch in the tree and break things). Here, a bird's-eye view of the unfurling process.


Liam and bink supervise from the swing.


It's up. The star is on top (mostly because it's easier to do it that way than climb something and fight with it for ten minutes). That's about it. Between Clarion and global logistics we haven't gotten any further. Paco the Christmas Parrot is still resting in his box and the Yuletide Cactus is wrapped up, too. Maybe this week. I bought more egg nog just in case!


And, no, it's not that crooked anymore. We straightened it out after this picture was taken!
