I am not attending the playlets online tonight, but certainly will before the end of the holiday season.

I also have A Carol Christmas to watch, and the Kritzerland holiday show. Thank goodness I have already watched DR Jrand70's A Christmas Carol.

Okay kids, here it is.

The tree topper needs to be redone. You can hardly tell with those lights there, but it's a Doctor Who Weeping Angel. She needs to be lowered a bit, and we'll get rid of those lights which don't help any.

PS--excuse our mess.

Beautiful!

I would love to have a tree for the cats except I have been warned:

Oh man. I am so thankful that none of our cats ever showed an interest in the trees, beyond lying beneath them or batting a couple of ornaments right at the bottom. And we always put cat-friendly ones there to be abused.

I have a vintage 1960 aluminum tree that we put up a couple of times in the early aughts. When baby Poe turned out to be an eater of the aluminum "needles", we had to keep it put away for his safety and well being. Now that he's gone, we half thought about putting it up this year, but didn't really have a place ready for it because we still like to have a real one. I think we'll plan on it next year. It's about a five-footer, and I've even got the turning base and color wheel.

I bought that tree on eBay back when those were becoming the latest hot retro thing. It's nice that it turned out to be a 1960 one, simply because that's the year we'd just moved to Florida and we had a small silver one for a few years.

I might watch the playlets tonight -- but if I don't, I definitely will later.

Back from picking up some packages and am pre-heating the oven for the fourth of the four Regina pizzas.

I may watch the BEE GEES documentary on HBO at 8 pm. - and Timothy Chalmat & Bruce Springsteen are on SNL, so that might be amusing.

And then I might watch THE PROM.......

The Prom wasn’t a great movie, but who cares? It was thoroughly enjoyable.

Cordon earned his reviews.

We are about 15 minutes into THE PROM and are enjoying it.

Good evening.

Leonard is such a good cat. Except for batting off several of the plastic ornaments to chase across the floor, he wasn't destructive at all.

Laura · « **Reply #79 on:** December 12, 2020, 04:12:18 PM »

Joshie and Rex were also very good cats. Even when they were young.

Laura · « **Reply #80 on:** December 12, 2020, 04:12:56 PM »

Now Sandra's Magdalena -- well, she won't even bother to put up a tree. It would be down before she got the first ornament on.

Pizza was good. Worked on project two, then heard an orchestration. Now listening to some delightful orchestral music by Walter Braunfels. Then tonight's viewing (prior to the Group Rep thing), is Braunfels' The Birds from the LA Opera.

Good Leonard. And of course you know better than to put breakable ornaments at the bottom of a tree

Our best cat ever was Gaia who had the most wonderful temperament and was practically an angel, except for her first Christmas.

For my 19th birthday I insisted we get me a Christmas tree, something Keith did not want to do having never had one before. We purchased one of those store trees on a wooden cross that tip over easily? We decorated with lights and inexpensive red and green tree balls.

Every time I returned home the tree was on the floor and more decorations had broken

Since then we have never put lights on a tree. Our trees also went into proper stands that could hold a climbing cat, not that we ever had a major issue again. Just the batting at the non-breakable decorations at the bottom of the tree.

Since it is Chanukah I wish I was making my sugar roll out Chanukah cookies.

Not counting the cookie I had in the spring, took 2 bites and trashed, I haven't had any cookies since last December. At least I don't remember having any. I have been craving cookies but will be good and not bake any.

I have had some delicious bakery purchased ginger molasses and gingerbread cookies.

I also like my chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chip meringue cookies.
