1. Do you decorate things with strings of lights? If so, describe what you do with them.
Yup, outside on my evergreen foundation shrubs. I use the C9 size (large), clear multicolored bulbs.

2. Fake Christmas Tree or a Real One, or none. What size tree? If a real one, what kind?
five foot fake fir [img]smile.gif[/img]

3. What kinds of decorations do you use on the tree? (garland color, icicles yay or nay, ball colors, ornaments, angel or no angle at the top, etc.)
Nothing a cat can eat, destroy or severely damage! LOL I use wooden (painted) ornaments, metal or resin and a few plastic ones. No lights on the tree (cat chews the little bulbs...sigh...and he knocks the tree about at least a few times each year!), but I do have an angel on the top.She's made of plastic canvas and yarn and is quite lovely.

No icicles, the cats would eat them. But some of the metal ornaments are bright, shiny gold.

4. Have pets who want to eat the tree?
[img]graemlins/kittynow.gif[/img] Uh, yah, that would be Merlin, the Magnificent Tree Molesting Cat! He chews the ends of the fake branches!

Used to hang them up with a little string and clips, but mostly I set them out on a cabinet to look at during the season now.

Blech! But I bought one for a friend's mom. Dang that thing weighs a ton! I think I could knock out Godzilla with it!

11. Do you get some days off from work/school during the holiday season?
Yup, I'm taking a few days off.

12. Is Dr. Seuss or the Peanuts a regular visitor to your TV during Christmastime?
The classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (which was on tonight!) are almost always seen at least once!

I PREFER to shop all year 'round. Most often, though I finish around the end of November or early December.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! We already had snow, just got a few more inches and I dare say we'll see more before Christmas!
