I am a really *big* fan of Christmas trees.  I spend lots of time decorating
mine - I even pop and string popcorn for garland.  My ornaments are all
hand-picked, some hand made, and one treasured one is a tiny pair of wooden
shoes my dad (RB) brought home to my mom from Holland at the end of WWII).

So, here are some pictures of the results of this year's effort - and some
pics of Sammy, *AND* an online version of my home-made Christmas Card for
those of you not on the list this year (and a preview of what you're getting
if you are ;>)...

Hope you enjoy!

Hugs,

Abeautiful tree!!!! Your house is lovely.

Thank you, Karen.  It's old and a bit shabby, but we're very comfortable
here and we love it (and the cats are crazy about it - there's lots of room
to run and play and they even have their own bedroom).

Hugs,

Doesn't look old or shabby to me! Besides, that is part of a nice house. I
see these brand new shiny, bare houses and think, "but it doesn't look like
a HOME."
CatNipped - 25 Nov 2004 22:47 GMT
Well, thankfully the shabbiness (stained carpets, wallpaper needing to be
taken down, paint needed on walls, etc.) doesn't show up in the pictures.
We do love it though, it is very comfy and warm.  You've inspired me to give
you all a virtual tour of my house - I'm very proud of it since we've only
had it a year now, so I'm still bragging - I'll post the link in another
(marked OT) post.

Hugs,

What a beautiful home you have, CatNipped - it looks very light, and
calm, and tasteful. The cyber card was great :-))

Thank you, Deb.  We love living here, it's a very old and quiet
neighborhood - it's in the middle of the woods and since it's so old it was
built around the trees instead of them razing all the trees in order to
build the subdivision like they do now-a-days.  The kitties love it too,
they're very happy here.

WOW.

You are both tasteful and industrious!
I love the little kitty stockings.
The oldest ornaments are the best.  I have some from when I was a
baby, and those are still my favorites.  I always squeal when I take
the little duckie out of the box.;)

Sammy is looking very dignified!

Stinky loves to sit under the tree. ;)

Thank you, Theresa.  As I mentioned in another post, I'm not industrious, I
just have ADHD.  I not only decorate the house, I clean everything in it, I
do the yard, work, do volunteer web work 11 hours a day, write, read a lot,
take care of the cats, shop, and sleep *very* little - LOL.

The wooden shoes are my most precious possession - my dad died when I was
four and that affected my life a lot.  He is the one who taught me to read,
write, play chess, canasta, gave me my love for animals, my sensitivity to
those more helpless than me and my humanity.  I still miss him 49 years
later!

Oops, that should have read "work 11 hours a day and do volunteer web work".

Wow what a neat job you did decorating your Christmas tree. I don't bother
with a tree these days, with kittens running amuck it is just too much
trouble to keep the decorations on the tree.

Loved your on-line card as well.

A very merry Christmas to you and yours from our house.

I love decorating the tree and then just looking at it for a month to not do
it.  I just put the non-breakables at the bottom of the tree and re-hang
anything that gets knocked down.

Thank you!

And to you too.

Great photos!  You sure did that tree up right! :)  Sammy is gorgeous as
usual.  I got the "real" card but it's so great you could put the cyber card
up on the site!

Thanks Jill, I really enjoy doing the tree each year.  But this year was a
challenge (I'll write the "Decorating the Tree with Mommy" story Monday or
Tuesday).

Wow!  Do you ever sleep?  The wonderful Christmas cards (got ours already),
the superb Sammy stories, your beautifully-decorated home.  Plus you seem to
make it to RPCA *every* day.  I'm truly impressed.  I don't know how you
find the time.

Hugs back at'cha.

LOL - Nope, I don't sleep very much - I have ADHD (Attention Deficit
*HYPERACTIVITY* Disorder - although I don't see it as a disorder, I just use
it to my advantage).  Thank you for the very nice compliments, though, my
head is swelling nicely!  ;>

Hugs,

CatNipped
