Funny way of decorating the tree.

I was out shopping for a few small gifts today.

I walked by a Christmas tree display and much of the ornaments were  over 3 feet above the ground.

It looked funny, but then a small child walked up and grabbed an ornament and I knew why the trees looked like they did.

And that reminded me of this cartoon...

I am surprised that businesses do not have the trees up high away form small kids.

Reminds me of a friend who used candy canes on her tree when her children were small. She left one a day at a level those little arms could reach.

I understand since I have a cat and she loves to hit the ornaments that hang low with her paws...

Thanks for sharing your experience. Cats and dogs also tend to like those low hanging ornaments.

Good morning William.  We have 4 great grandkids due, I'm sure it will get interesting as they are just the ones who would grab anything that is close to the ground.

Good morning William. This is really cute and I like the idea and the cartoon.

The grandkids will always get their fingers on the low ones.

I don't put anything I value too close to the bottom because my cats will get interested and knock it off

Very humorous William, you got a chuckle out of me. (I needed that).

It is a cute cartoon and shows exactly the opposite of what you were talking about. Great example!

Interesting observation, William.  I hope that you have a great holiday season and no one swipes your decorations.

If you've every had a cat that liked to play ping-pong with the ornaments, you'd also appreciate the lower limbs being bare. Although, I suppose it wouldn't stop some cats! My cats never climbed trees, although I hear some are not that fortunate.

Reminds me of the way the cedars and hemlocks look in the spring after the deer have eaten everything close to the ground.
