Oh Christmas Tree

Okay, so most of you will see this picture on our Christmas card (whenever we get those sent out), but it was worth posting anyway. We had to put the tree in the corner between the couch and loveseat with the ottoman in front of it as a barricade in order to keep curious hands from playing with the various hazards that our tree presents...electrical wires, glass ornaments, a thing full of water, a toppling risk...need I go on? Not to mention the very tempting presents that are wrapped in colorful paper just waiting to be torn open!
