Monofilament

We're not putting up a tree this year. Because we have a kitten.

I was explaining this to our friend Patricia, and she said, "You could just secure it with monofilament line."

And I said, "That's a real mean way to treat a kitty."

And then we looked at each other for a moment of silence, and then we laughed.

And then I thought, Hmmmm. Decorating with live animals. Hmmmm.

(Every so often, I'm reminded of how badly I suck at PhotoShop. So feel free to send me your pictures of whatever you have in your pear tree besides a partridge. And I'll post the winners here.)
