Great Dane tails tend to clear off tables real fast, and any decorations midway on the tree end up on the floor. I got rid of my coffee table as soon as Heidi arrived. I put my tree in the basement sewing studio where I usually entertain for Christmas anyway. This year, I am NOT having Christmas here, family issues. I will put up my sewing tree in the entryway on top of the treadle and that will be my tree this year. If it wasn't for you girls, I would be really BAH HUMBUG this year.
