The Christmas Tree Is Gone… Finally!

January 24, 2018 By: Summer Samba35 Comments

somali cat sitting in big box meant for Christmas ornaments

In case you didn’t notice the title, or see the ornament boxes hiding in the corners of this photo, this was the week for the Christmas tree to finally go to bed ’til next year. All the Christmas photo shoots are done. (In fact, one photo is already on a card!) This fun box is actually meant to pack away the ornaments.

Here is the other box for the ornaments. Oh, and there is also a big cannister for the rest of them.

Whenever possible, my human kept the original boxes the ornaments came in.

The cat themed ornaments all get special care. For the record, one ornament was broken this year. Fortunately it wasn’t a cat one. Unfortunately, it was a $20 hand-painted one from New Mexico that my human got many years ago. Fortunately, none of us kitties were responsible — it’s all on her.

It looks like this Christmas is finally a wrap! Or maybe that is un-wrapped.

    Yeah tunnels! It is always grr-eat fun when the tunnels have a place to spread out! Sorry, your momma’s Christmas ornie broke. But remind her that YOU are the ornament for all seasons, will never shatter, and are huggable. Tee hee hee! Kisses!

    We didn’t break any ornaments this year, but that’s because Mom was too lazy to decorate the tree! She just plugged it in and called it done. Hiding behind the tree is fun, but tunnels are fun too.

    It’s always a sad day for me when it’s time to put away the Christmas tree.

    Summer, can you believe it, our tree is still up. Mom has most the ornaments off and put away, but she forgot she needed to order a new storage bag for the tree. She finally did it yesterday, so who knows how much longer it will be up. It looks silly, as she put everything else away two weeks ago. Did you know that you have basically the same expression on your face in all these photos. That’s unusual. We figure it must e because Binga isn’t around bugging you.

    We break a precious one now and again. Mum always gets upset but remembers its not a person, or a cat, its a memory she can still keep in her head.

    Your human is so organized! We have lots of ornaments too and store them in 2 large Chewy boxes. I keep the original boxes whenever possible as well but just flatten them.

    Our human broke TWO ornaments this year! If she continues at this rate, we won’t have any ornaments to hang in a few years! ;p

    I love those kitty ornaments. Sorry the hand-painted one got broken. Of course it wasn’t kitty’s fault…humans can be really clumsy 🙂

    You beat us. Our tree is still standing, without all the glittery balls though, but it’s still there in the middle of the living room.

    It’s always a bitter sweet moment when our tree goes to bed too. Getting our space back with all the toys is always fun. Thankfully you guys didn’t break any ornaments. Best to leave that to the humoms, LOL. Purrs

      She uses that chair to watch TV because she is too lazy to move the couch. The TV is more for doing exercise videos that watching shows so it’s always off to the side.

    All of our decorations are put away except for the evergreen wreath hanging outside .
    Mum might take the bow off and just leave the greenery.
