Mind you, the deccies came as a surprise and he managed to get himself stuck! Just tinsel and lights and my precious santas (too high for him to reach!) - easy to rebuild without baubles.
It was so pretty, I turned the lights off and stared at it for about 15 minutes :-)
No pressies underneath yet - I am not going to tempt fate! Those are still locked in a cupboard!
24hr update - it's still standing, a bit battered, but still standing. Tinsel is still intact (mostly), ancient Canadian Santas untouched and the lights still work! And the feline demon seems to be beginning to lose interest [x's fingers]
But I am still bending branches back into shape where he has slept on them - being a big little ginger fluffball!
48hr update - the tree is still standing - just. Sadly, Charlie has noticed the Santas and two of them ended up on the floor (luckily undamaged). The tinsel is a mess, the tree is all bent out of shape and the lights are becoming knotted.
Two things I said to MB (safely back from his travels) as I stubbornly bent the tree back into shape, replaced the tinself and recovered my Santas.
I am going to have my Christmas tree if it kills me!'
'These Santas have hung on a Christmas tree for over 40 years - they will hang on it this year!'

(crosses fingers)

[phew]
so far....

I have seen trees hanging from the ceiling rather than standing on the floor/table. this makes them swing alarmingly when jumped on & pets soon learn not to bother.
Just an idea:-)
This is the feline who has swung from....
blinds...
curtains...
light shades...
and even tried to get on top of the glass shower partition!
Nice thought, though... :-)
hmm - too quiet.....[wanders off]

your blog is so wonderfully Xmas-like! I have to add a red touch to mine, but there is so much to do, too little time,blogs to read...
What a beautiful tree...I can't get over your Charlie wrecking it!! He is something else! But it looks very very beautiful in that picture. Congratulations!
Is it a levitating Christmas tree? It looks like it is defying gravity already... I'm all confused now.
I *love* Christmas. I have a small tree with far too many lights and decorations and just stare at it too (and no cat to terrorise it!)
CQ, I have a business proposition for you. How much d'you reckon we'd make if we sold X-mas trees complete with the pressies already bought and wrapped?
silentmum: after a lifetime with cats, nothing surprises me - although I did snigger when I found Charlie knotted up in the lights!
eric: hi sweetie! I was under the impression that's how men thought they came? [wink]
It would have to be pink wrapping for girls' gifts and blue for boys! [oh, must go and comment on your 'Pink' post!]

electrify the tree...just 12 Volts, nothing lethal...
Wonder what charlie would look like with his fur standing on end ;o)
CQ:> eric: hi sweetie! I was under the impression that's how men thought they came? [wink]
LOL, hey darlin'! That's how men think they come which is why the business idea is great - it will be so natural to men! [evil grin]
