Christmas Tree Challenge: Day 14

When I started this glittering challenge a fortnight ago, I didn’t think of what I’d write in each post. Now, of course, I’m beginning to think of it; for instance, what if I collect all posts, edit them a bit, and make them an electronic book? I probably wouldn’t clear the copyrights for all pictures but I’d find those few where the copyright allows for a publication. Or I’d choose some altogether different pictures for the book.

I chose this picture because of pets. When I was at school and then at the university, I had one dog and one cat. Our Xmas tree and all the toys and baubles were always at the mercy of these tail-wagging beasts who were adorable but dangerous when it came to them being around the festive tree.

Today I have two dogs, and I prefer not to tell the number of cats because most respectable people get plunged into the deepest of shocks, even though there are less than 20 of them. Still, we prefer to keep them all and the Xmas tree away from each other.

Incidentally, our Xmas tree turns 40 this year, and it’s still evergreen.
