As predicted, Bud likes to sleep under the tree, on the convenient blankie (otherwise known as a tree skirt) that we put down for him. He especially likes it when the lights are on.

Well, what would we expect from a forest cat?

In other news, the big Campbell's soup balls are hanging in the kitchen as promised, and they look pretty good. Grandma always sends us one, and we always find ways to use them without actually putting them on the tree.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
