I didn't know tinsel was dangerous for cats. She's just ignored it since her criminal activities, preferring to scratch my coffee table instead, but only one leg.
Cats are weird little creatures.

Tinsel's like string - can damage their guts if they chew / swallow it. Ergo I only use bead garlands.
Cats are definitely a law unto themselves. If my two are anything to go by

Thank you for the info, back into the box it goes for another year then!
Be pretty awful to say to my partner that I'd accidentally killed her cat while she was away...

I can't have poinsettias in over the hols, as I've got a serial house plant chewer. Shame, because they look so lovely.

So I had no idea that lillies were absolutely lethal to cats either, until a friend pointed out my stupidity.
Fortunately no harm was done, but I did feel very daft and relieved as I was binning them.

Against my better judgment, I searched for him. Andy Park, lives in Melksham. Looks like he did alright from 1993 to 2015. Went cold turkey thereafter. Yeah. Completely broke, I guess now. His website hasn’t been updated since 2018. Maybe the signal in Lapland is really sketchy?
Viz often found spoofs in real life, so they maybe harvested their clown from this one.
Tragic.

No tree, just a big(ish) blue light in the window (it's supposed to be a snowflake, but folk ask if it's a star),
a few baubles and about 15 cards. The light will come down on New Years Day, the cards a few days later and the baubles stay up all year round, seeing as they aren't really Christmas ones. When the window light has come down I'll replace it with a smaller light I'll put on the window bottom. The light will symbolise the shortening nights and keep evil spirits at bay!!🧐

My Christmas decorations are environmentally friendly. So much so that the raw materials haven't even been mined and are still in the ground.

They're coming down as soon as I feel strong enough to pass the boxes up into the loft.

I know of one or two houses around here where their outside lights stay up all year round. Fair enough, it's a big hassle fitting, then taking down many lights on house roofs and walls, so why not leave them up all year round, but they look a bit daft on a hot summer's day.
