You're so far ahead of me on the tree issue. I don't even want ours up for a couple of weeks yet. I'm sure Biscuit will think that we've provided him with new playground equipment when he sees the tree..........smile! As for a theme, I don't know that we have one, unless it's cats. Oh, sure, we've got a lot of different ornaments but the majority of them are cats. I still have one very special engraved one that I put on the tree each year for (Rainbow) Meggie but after searching high and low, and even contacting the company that originally made this ornament, I can't find one that I like to memorialize Squeegee and Holly. So I keep looking. But your white and blue theme sounds pretty. (NT) -- Sandy, 11:16:12 am, Mon, 11/19/07
We go absolutely NUTS on lights. We have a 7 1/2 foot pre-lighted tree but to that, we add about another 1,000 lights. Gerry wraps them in and out on each, individual branch. I swear, when we turn the tree on, you can almost stand outside and watch our electric meter spin!!! But to Gerry's credit, our tree is always beautiful. (NT) -- Sandy, 11:18:49 am, Mon, 11/19/07
I'll bet it's gorgeous!! I love lots of lights and so does Rick....!! (NT) -- Kate (again), 7:43:53 pm, Mon, 11/19/07
practically all of my Hallmark Ornaments are animal themed......and most every ornament I have that isn't a round ball has some kind of animal, whether it's a dog or kitty or a wild animal....I love the "Snow Buddies" series in the Hallmark ornaments..they are little snowmen hugging or cuddling an animal...love this series because I love snowmen and having them along with an animal just makes them perfect!! (NT) -- Kate, 7:38:43 pm, Mon, 11/19/07
The other ones I have are mostly Peantus themed...of course!! (NT) -- Kate (again), 7:40:04 pm, Mon, 11/19/07
Keep looking Sandy, you'll find that exact right ornament to memorialize both Squeege and Holly......I'm sure of it....and when you do, it will be well worth the wait!! (NT) -- Kate, 7:42:36 pm, Mon, 11/19/07
I hope so, Kate. Every year...........I look. I'm on the Lenox email list and have searched other ornament sites thoroughly but can't find a thing. The ornament we have for Meggie was given to us by Punkie's ex-husband and he originally got it in Germany. It's gold and has a kitten perched on a gift and has been engraved with her name and the year she died. I cry every year when I place that ornament on the tree. Boy, these little fur-covered munchkins worm their way into your heart and never really go away, no matter how many you have...........or lose. (NT) -- Sandy, 5:42:37 am, Tue, 11/20/07
