My roommates got a fake tree this year. It's the first Christmas tree my cat Marlie has ever had. I am not sure about my cat Cash, because he's a shelter rescue who had a previous owner. But he does make an adorable "present" sitting under it.
 
Aww.... now I kinda want to make a gingerbread house. I have the powdered soymilk, come on over!
:D
I love gingerbread houses! Never made one out if actual gingerbread. When my kids were younger we used to make gb houses using graham crackers. Everyone got to make their own smaller house. :)

Ohhhh cute! I can never find vegan graham crackers though. I know they exist! If could, I'd totally do that.

Are poinsettias dangerous for animals? I'm always reading conflicting information so I've avoided getting any.

I watched A Charlie Brown Christmas the other night while it was on tv. I hadn't seen it in over ten years. I forgot what little bastards those kids were to Charlie in the beginning of the movie. ;( Poor Charlie was treated like crap.

I almost bought a gingerbread house kit yesterday. It was on sale at Aldi for $3. I've made a few of them over the years , but none of them were from scratch.

One of my favorite Christmas movies involved this guy:

and of course no Christmas would be the same without the Griswalds! I watch this movie every single year.

And yes that is Leonard from Big Bang Theory for all you young ones who missed out on the 80s.

1895 . The first electrically lighted Christmas tree was displayed in the White House by First Lady Frances Cleveland. This event was instrumental in bringing the wonder of electric Christmas tree lighting to the general public's awareness. The tree was set up in the family room and library (today the Yellow Oval Room), and decorated with gold angels with spreading wings, gold and silver sleds, tops of every description, and lots of tinsel. Under the tree was a miniature White House and a doll..
