I had no idea there would be so many parts to the saga of the Christmas tree.
We came home early from work today, excited to get ready for tonight’s holiday party. We opened the door, only to be greeted by this:
Closer inspection revealed one of the potential culprits teething on the tree stand:
He looks defiantly guilty, don’t you think?
However, the dogs are cowering on their beds in the bedroom. They have yet to emerge, and we’ve been home about an hour.
Sigh.
You just can’t make this stuff up!
On the up side, Ryan has taken the tree out back. No, not for a beating. (What is wrong with you people?) But to cut the end off [again] so we can attempt to set it up [again]. Hopefully this time we’ll actually remember to put water in it! Third time’s the charm, right?

Oh my WORD I laughed so hard at that first picture!!! LMAO!! The Great Christmas Tree Debacle 2010!
Smidgen and that rotten cat are in Holiday Destruction cahoots.
I wouldn’t say “defiantly” guilty… More like “don’t hurt me” guilty.
Good timing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2h3_aH3vo
I can’t stop laughing at that cat chewing on the tree stand!!Those picture perfect trees only exist in magazines, Jane! It’s a tree conspiracy,that’s what’s going on here.This tree needs to understand just who is in charge! Be the tree master! Have fun tonight, kids!
It feels so wrong to laugh at your tree travails, but this is hysterical!!!
You caught the cat gnawing on the stand?! That is priceless! I hope you guys got it vertical and it stayed that way for your party 🙂
Is the cat even big enough to knock the tree over?! This is hilarious. I can’t believe all the stuff they don’t tell you about Christmas trees and how much drama they are! On the upside, your tree looks really nice and full – even sideways.
