This year's tree, securely anchored

We just got home a little while ago with this year's Christmas tree. Although I likely won't decorate it until Wednesday, we have it set up in its stand in the living room. If we left it on the porch until after Thanksgiving the deer would likely start eating it.

This year we made sure that the tree is securely anchored and impossible to tip over. Last year there was a noisy incident in the middle of the night that involved the tree, our cat, and our newly adopted kitten.

The cat and kitten had to work very hard to get off the Naughty List after that little episode.
