All our ornaments are unbreakable because they get knocked off so much. 
Is that sort of like "ornament Darwinism"? Only those with an "unbreakability" trait survive to the next year?

My ornaments have a social ladder they climb. The more breakable the higher they are placed.
DS I LOVE your tree! I can't wait to put mine up... I have to wait until after Thanksgiving :(
Foxy...hehehe if your new kitty is anything like any of the ones I have -get ready. My older kitty at my parent's house is very cranky at times, not very playful and she LOVES Christmas. She sleeps under the tree., attacks ornaments, leaps into boxes, comes out for presents... it's actually amusing that at 4am (typical present opening time since I was little... I wake the kids up now. I'm not ruining my internal clock)

all the animals come out and sit around the tree.
