Tetsu and I spent Saturday putting up Christmas decorations around the house. I still can't find one box but I think except for the Christmas tree decorations everything else is up. Tetsu put lights up around the house and on one of our outside trees. My little plastic Christmas tree sits on the end table next to the sofa but it is still bare. Maybe the English kids will enjoy decorating it for me today.
HOWEVER... We seem to have a major problem this year because Chip and Toi find the decorations I've put up to be the absolutely most wonderful cat toys they've ever seen. They especially like my plastic canvas needlepoint creche that at the best of times tends to fall over. The creche figures are light, furry and have pretty colors, just right for kitties to carry around and play with. Toi and Chip have invented a type of ornament hockey and they bat Jesus, the sheep and the Wise men around the floor and I find donkeys and shepherds in my shoes (Japanese shoes are taken off at the front door and are left at a step lower than the floor right?) I can't think of another place to put my needlepoint creche this year so maybe it will go back in the box before some of the figures are lost.
Here is what this creche is SUPPOSED to look like. I shudder to think what the cats are going to do the hanging Christmas tree ornaments.
