It's up! IT'S UP!
Hoo-hoo... THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS UP.
But boy-oh-boy, was gettin' it decorated EVER an adventure.
MOUSES!
You all know 'bout naughty words and stuff, right? Well let me tell you, I HEARD QUITE A FEW of 'em last night.
MOUSES!
Now, where should I begin?
At the beginnin', I suppose. That would make sense. I shall begin with the puttin' up of the lights.
MOUSES!
Picture it: My house, three strings of lights, and a... Uh... Um... A peep.
You know, I think I'm gonna ask Santa to bring us a pre-lit Christmas tree next year, 'cause Peep #1 is ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD at puttin' on those lights.
On the other paw, I did have a lot of fun watchin' her try.
On the OTHER paw, it was pretty obvious she wasn't havin' any fun at all.
BUT ON THE OTHER PAW - which I can say on account of my bein' a cat, and cats havin' four paws - I don't really care. 'Bout the peep not havin' fun, I mean. My enjoyment of watchin' her strugglin' with the lights is far more important than her frustrations of dealin' with them, for sure.
Plus, I learned a few new swear words in the process, and this cat likes to take advantage of all educational opportunities, for sure.
MOUSES!
AND DID YOU KNOW, once all the lights are up on the tree, if they're not DISTRIBUTED EVENLY, one has to take 'em all down and start all over again?
TRUE FACT.
MOUSES!
Well once the lights were all up - THE SECOND TIME - the REAL fun began.
Now to be perfectly honest, I will admit that at this point, the naughty words were no longer bein' said. Also, the peep's face was no longer red. But... But there was still a show to be seen, for sure.
Peep #1 thinks she can dance.
HAHAHA....
FYI, she can't.
MOUSES!
But that didn't stop her from dancin' and prancin' around the rockin' ol' Christmas tree.
You should have seen her. She was boppin' this way and that to the Christmas music, while hangin' the ornamental breakables all over the...
Wait a minute. Did I say the naughty words had ceased? I think I did, but I shouldn't have, because...
Because this was about the time when the peep came face to face with the GIGANTIC metal mess.
Picture it: My house, an enormous mass of metal ornament hanger thingies lookin' like a big ol' mess of tangled up tumbleweed, and a peep.
MOUSES!
AND DID YOU KNOW, if you untangle those ornament hook thingies, and then pile 'em up together after they've been untangled, they come to life and get all tangled up together again?
TRUE FACT.
MOUSES!
Oh, and did you ALSO know, sometimes they get lost in the tree?
Yeah, that happened quite a few times. EVERY SINGLE TIME a glass ball fell from the peep's grasp, even though the ball was caught and retrieved, the metal hanger was nowhere to be seen. I have no idea where they went, although I'm thinkin' it might be the same place odd socks disappear to from the dryer.
And judgin' by the peep's cries of anguish every time one of those metal thingies was lost, it must be easier to knit an entire sock than to untangle just one of those hooks.
MOUSES!
So...
So picture it: My house, a peep dancin' around the livin' room while more-than-occasionally yellin' out swear words, and me.
But the good news is...
Well the peep would say the good news is that I didn't get last night's escapades on film. And you know, she's probably right about that, 'cause boy-oh-boy would it ever be embarrassing...
FOR HER.
But MY good news is that we now have a fully decorated Christmas tree all ready for Santa.
AND...
And ready for me to knock down... I mean, play... I MEAN, REDISTRIBUTE the ornamental breakables. Breakable ornamentals... You know, the glass balls and things.
So...
So there are likely to be more naughty words bein' said, very soon.
MOUSES!
I know you'll enjoy playtime with the sparkling toys, they sure are fun!
ReplyDeleteYou could make your mum and offer: for every ornament hanger that you send Rushton, Mason and Andy looking for in that tree for her, she give you two treats. You might want to ask for payment in advance though in case your fursibs decide to hang out in the tree fur awhile! Winks.
ReplyDeleteDancing, prancing, decorating and saying those words ... decorating the tree sounds FUN at your house, Sivvers!
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy, you sure do have some fun times around your palace. Me, I'd rather watch Mrs H make food... ok when I say watch her make food I mean stare at her until she gives in and makes me lunch dinner and supper, MOL
ReplyDeleteToodle pips and happy redecorating
ERin
Redistributing sounds like fun, Seville!
ReplyDeleteDecorating the tree sounds like a lot of fun at your place! You could make some extra nip money by charging an entrance fee to watch the entertainment.
ReplyDeleteWow im so happy your Christmas tree is up. Nice shiny baubles lovely lights purrfect. x
ReplyDeleteGetting a tree up at your place is sure an adventure, Seville! I can tell you enjoyed the show your human put on for you.
ReplyDeleteI let me hubby deal with lights. And we have no glass ornaments-your peeps are brave.
