There is a reason why we have yet to decorate our Christmas tree.

Here is reason number 1 and 2.

We do however have our Santa's village up and running and the cats are not the least interested in that. And after 11 years of collecting pieces for the now very large - and illuminated - village display, it is the only reason the kids aren't really upset about the Christmas tree trimming delay.

Of course the girls could help get the tree decorated sooner if they didn't encourage the kittens' antics and they actually tried to get them out of the tree.
