But we didn't cut it down.
And we didn't hang it from the ceiling (as we do in our family).
Instead, we bought a small, potted tree (which is supposed to grow up to 70 feet tall). The plan is to plant it in January (location TBD - anyone want a tree?).
When we got home, we placed it on a table, where Chase and Taggart can't reach it.
Chase opened her advent calendar (courtesy of the Donahues!) - and inside were three, small ornaments - she selected a tiny, red Santa ornament as her own, and let us hang the other two.
