Maggie Is Not Amused...

...and is sulking in her chair. 

It had to be done...I knew she wouldn't be happy about it...but what could I do? It had to come down some time...I tried to include her in the process.. but she wasn't going to be any part of that! 

I compromised and promised her one more night of at least the cozy fairy lights..but no dangling baubles to bat, no string of pearls to pull down..all those things had to be removed and stored away today. One more night of chewing the greenery was all I could offer... It wasn't enough to appease...she is still in a snit. 

So, the tree is still standing....looking so bare and forlorn..stripped naked, ...awaiting its demise.. the glamour and glitter gone....only the lights remain..Then tomorrow, the final insult.. It will be broken apart and stuffed into a box and left for another year....to wait for its glory days to return...

Maggie is still not speaking to me and will not be tomorrow either.. That tree has been one big cat toy for her..with shiny things to hit and knock off and chase, something to hide behind and sleep under... oh, she is not going to be a happy camper....
