Finally got the tree up the other night after having its tattered box sitting in the middle of the family room for the better part of a week! We still had to put up the same Christmas Tree Protection Shield which we erected last year to keep Cleo at bay, on account of her attempting to use it as a back-scratcher within about 5 minutes of it being up, but I think it turned out well and it’s kinda nice that it can also be a part of our greater light display outside through the front window. 😉
