What is this new devilry?

It's called 'putting the tree up,' and boy does it work.

Actually, the only really icky part was trying to put the lights around the dumb thing. But, I managed, and I have something that could pass for a nice tree. Just don't look at the back! My only fear is that I've erected the world's largest cat toy. No takers so far, but this thing has at least another month or so to be up, so I shan't hold my breath. I have a Christmas-y house. Now all I need is appropriate music.

Cat is acting very wacky...help me...rather. help the chair.

Um....that's it. Later days.
