Melissa Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I'm always fiddling with the tree, moving ornaments around, etc. Anyone else?
JanaBanana Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Oh yes! I have re-arranged my decorated home 3 times so far :)
missyjane Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I gave up, I liked it when I was finished with it but since then: My son thinks its funny to turn things around so that they are backwards as he knows that I do notice and it drives me batty. My dog believes that everything on the tree within his reach, including when he can climb on the presents or the furniture to get there, that it is one giant gift basket of chewable new toys just for him. I give up! It seems that everything has been moved closer to the top and they are all hanging backwards now!
Guest Deals4Me Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 LMAO... Sorry missyjane... its sad but funny I have and I havent...3 year and and a kitten think its all toys to throw around the house. I swear I've threatened to pitch everything out...including the kid and furbaby...
indallas Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Yup, constantly fiddling with the ornaments on the tree, glad to know I'm not the only one
biomajor Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I have 4 cats and they like to knock them off, so I pick them up off hte floor and put them back on, but that's not really rearranging so much as cleaning up LOL
Kandy Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Yes, with two cats, and just got homes for 4 kittens I have to. They are always knocking them off,
shanni Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I have 4 cats and they like to knock them off, so I pick them up off hte floor and put them back on, but that's not really rearranging so much as cleaning up LOLSame here, I'm ready to put a hook in my cat and hang him from the tree:tongue1:
KBsDarling Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 our cat could care less about the tree...batting an ornament would be so beaneath her plus it would require movement from the perch LOL Now the dogs on the other hand....The phrase "no happy tails by the tree" is getting a work out here I am in the same boat as others up there^ What i have done is more about picking up then rearranging...
reggie7632 Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 yes I have totally took all the ornaments off and put them back on Truthfully wished I had left them alone liked it better the first time
misshayley Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Nope, DH and I only have a little 3 ft tree, because we don't have the space for a big tree, and I haven't messed with it. I've been too busy with everything else.
*sparkles* Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Nope...which is very surprising. We have two cats and a 20 month old. So far the tree is still standing with all the ornaments...so far In the beginning I did move some of the ornaments dh put up..shhhh
noehlp Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I don't do the rearranging. But my three children do. They don't play with them, they just truly rearrange them. The other night they were all three out there saying things like 'there's too many santa's on this side' 'angels should be up the highest' 'too much red' etc. I just listened and enjoyed quietly. They actually are pretty good at decorating it. Each year I let them put the ornaments on. I have two that I put on myself as they are heavier. But leave the rest up to them. They are my little 'clauses'.
pampam Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Sometimes I'll find an "important" ornament after the tree is finished and have to do the shuffle. The tree is designed to hold lots of ornaments- my huge collection has been accumulating for 60 years, starting in the 1940's by my parents- so moving one means moving five or six others. When I had real trees my cats loved to hang out, bat ornaments and snooze underneath. With the fake tree my four furbabies couldn't care less. It's just an obstacle in the way of one of their window perches.
Gporter34 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 No, but my kids and the dogs do!LOL It doesn't even look like the same tree I put up!
hope1976 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Another one here where my kids take care of that for me
WonderWmn999 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Before I logged on I was looking at my tree and noticed that the "cool" ornaments are now bunched all together compliments of my children. Our dog and cat don't bother the tree at all, in fact once the tree goes up, it's hard to get my cat from under the tree, it's her favorite spot to lay. I remember one year I was on the phone with my parents when from their end I heard a big crash and than my dad laughing like crazy. Their cat had knocked the tree over! Now if it had been one of my kids doing that he wouldn't have thought it so funny.
treasure60 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I haven't this year because my grandkids haven't been here that much since the first week it was put up. We can't have pets because of my dtr's allergies so there are not cats or dogs to mess with my tree. Wish we had pets though.
rabx5 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Tomorrow before the relatives get here, I have to take EVRYTHING off the bottom 3 feet of tree and fix it. My 15 pound cat likes to nap in there and he squished the branches flat. My tree looks horrible. Plus I have a basket full of ornaments that have been batted off and used as hockey pucks. I don't know what is up with these cats this year- they usually mess with it for a day or two and thats it, but this year, it's been every single day since that tree was put up:eyepoppin .I think I need a guard dog for the tree. Rotten rotten critters. They are lucky I love them.
stacimarie Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I had to move the ornament on the bottom half of the tree to the top half b/c my cat keep getting them. So now there are a whole bunch on the top half.
ebony0421 Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I pick out the ornaments and that's it. My dh and dd do the decorating.
hillbillyswife Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 The only time I moved them this year was when the tree fell over :0) That was a fun mess to clean up!
protege2003 Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 You people have WAY too much time on your hands.
snakeswiff Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 With a 15 foot tree...I am lucky there are ornaments on it....nope havent touched a one since it was decorated!
