Good grief, it's as if he trained to be a cat model. That paw, that expression. What a great photo.

We don't do a tree. My mother does. My brother just sent me a bunch of photos of the tree, the mantelpiece, the lights on the deck and the front of her townhouse, etc. It all looks just as it should.

I've occasionally decorated a little Norfolk Island pine tree when I had one in a pot, but they really don't seem to like indoor living in our house and generally sort of give up after three or four years, so it seemed wrong to keep getting new ones to demolish.
