So many things to do and enjoy for everyone. And Susan, I can relate to your cat situation. I have two myself. They just love all those shiny ornaments, and know that I put them on the tree just for them. Isn’t the season great? So many things to do and enjoy for everyone.

It started with a single uncle who really didn't have anyone for Christmas and now it's up to ten people - we watch Christmas Vacation, snack and drink and have a wonderful time and I serve a nice dinner. My two girls have always had this tradition and I couldn't dare stop it lol. My nephew and his wife now attend and my one daughter's fiance and my other daughter's boyfriend and the uncle has had a steady girl for over 20 years. Gee I guess I've been doing this now for 37 years!!! wow lol. I started a tree trimming tradition.

Put outside the lighted reindeer and the BIG lighted snowman that says HAPPY HOLIDAYS. I love driving around looking at the Christmas light displays others have up.
