My latest tradition is to buy a present for one of those wishing trees which goes to poor children. I got a present for a little girl this year. We also usually smash a pinata on Christmas day at our friends house and on Christmas Eve we go round looking at all the xmas tree lights. One of the xmas lights competition winners lives right near us so it's chockers on xmas eve there.

Thanks for the comment on my tree guys. Oh and greg our house isn't always that clean!!!!
Cute tree cat
opposites- there was no ornament in my card but I think it must have fallen out as there was a big rip in the envelope that had then been taped up with sticky tape. I did actually see what it was meant to be as K@ti got hers and i saw it.

Here is mine (it's a fakie)

Thanks- Archie isn't as cute looking now as he was in those photos -his fur has gone all manky since and we're probably going to give him a bath- he won't like that!
Here's mine (photos not the best)

This is my cat Archie, quite bluntly refusing to sit on the cloth we put on the couch for him.

We have a fake one. It's just a lot easier and quyicker to set up and it won't grow to big either. That what happened to Kati's tree- it grew too big to fit in the house so they had to chop the top off! lol
The fake trees also look better I think as the branches as perfectly placed. One year I may try a real one though-just to see....
Thanks opposites- i'll post a pic of the magnets later
I'm making my Dad a keyring for christmas and a book mark. I'll post pictures when I'm finished making them.
