Well, I put up the Xmas tree.  It's just a little artificial one that
my roommate owns.  It's a short on that sits on the kitchen table,
cause we have no other place to put it.

As I was setting up the branches on the table, Mischief leaps up onto
the table to investigate.  She then proceeds to bunny kick a branch
into submission.  She gets shooed off the table.

I finish putting on the branches and start hanging the garlands.
Mischief eyes the end of the garland and her but begins to wiggle.  She
pounces and gets shooed out of the kitchen.

I put up the lights.  Again Mischief eyes the cord and yes, she is
shooed off the table again.

Then I hang the ornaments.  These are just your cheap ornaments that
you can get by the box.  Last year was the kittie's first Xmas, so I
learned the hard way about ornaments.  Mischief knocked off three in
the first hour.

But I figured out how to prevent Mischief from bapping the ornaments
off the tree.

Super Glue

You super glue the ornament holder to the ornament itself so it can't
slip off.  Then when you hang it, you wrap the hook all the way around
the branch so it can't fall off.

Mischief can bap them all to her heart's content and they don't fall
off.

My roommate owns one expensive ornament, but I didn't hang it up for
obvious reasons.

Mischief is pretending to be asleep in her cat tree, but it's only a
matter of time before I catch her in the kitchen inspecting the tree
again.
