The tree is up and partly decorated. I have hung the cat ornaments, and the travel ornaments (best souvenir you can buy -- you get them out once a year and remember all of the great vacations), the birds, my grandmother's little balls, and the lovely ornaments Janice made us with all of our family names. Left to go are the hand blown fancies I have been collecting a couple a year and the things the girls made while they were growing up.
It takes me forever to decorate the tree because I have to unwrap each thing and each thing brings back memories that must be savored. Our Christmas tree would not pass muster at any fancy tree store, but it is like a wonderful scrapbook that goes back over 40 years.
I guess it is a love tree.

what are "cat ornaments?" are they shaped in the shape of santa mice?
Just little glass/wooden plastic cats doing silly, Christmassy stuff. Santa mice would work, though.
