Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This will sound like the cheesiest idea ever. This tree is our "tree" this year. We have a super naughty kitten. We knew that a real/fake tree would have no chance of survival in our house, much less any ornaments. (So, instead of inviting frustration by setting up our tree, we ordered this cardboard tree.) I remember looking for a cling or something on Amazon that the kitten couldn't (or wouldn't) destroy. I really felt like a bad mom, like this was the Jerry Springer Christmas I was staging. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when the "tree" came. The colors were vibrant. It was sturdy (for a cardboard tree) and it looked better than I expected. I decided to mount it on one of our sliders (where our tree would normally go). I couldn't just go with the cardboard, so I actually got a string of lights and a roll of clear packing tape and got to work getting lights on the cardboard tree. (I know, it sounds awful!) Trust me, everyone who I tried to tell what I was doing gave me a "look." I could read their minds, "Are you nuts?!", "How tacky!", "OMG, really?!" However, seeing is believing, so check out the picture. Am I fooling anyone? No. However, we had a festive looking place for Santa to put presents. Other than helping me with the lights by chewing on them, the kitten left the "tree" alone. I ordered a new 9.5 footer for next year, so he'd better outgrow his naughtiness by then!
