made by your kids is great! My grandsons, as well as their mom, (when she was younger) have made things for my tree. I will be displaying things by hanging ornaments on walls, on curtain rods and in doorways this year instead of the tree. There are 2 kitty fur babies in the house(8 or 9 months old) and still crazy as all get out. I shudder to think what they would do to a tree!
