Christmas tree

Mom and Dad worked hard today to get the Christmas tree up in the living room. To Mom and Dad, it is a Christmas tree ... to Maggie, it is her favorite toy that she only gets to play with one month out of the year. Even before all the balls were on the tree, Maggie had climbed more than halfway up, knocked a few balls off, and been sprayed with the squirt bottle. Huggy Bear is trying real hard to teach her that you can lay under the tree and enjoy the tree without getting into trouble, but right now Maggie isn't listening. Thank goodness for Martha Stewart's shatterproof ornaments or we might have a pretty bare tree.
