Christmas in the Hollow

 

We've scaled way back on our Christmas tree this year.  It's our cats first Christmas, and a big tree full of shiny, sparkly baubles and bows would just be too much temptation for our curious, active kitties.  So, this season, we have a mini, table-top tree surrounded by woodland animals ... still fun and festive ... and, most of all, cat safe.  We want it to be a happy season for all, furry family included!

My house plants are making up for the lack of "grandeur" provided by a full sized Christmas tree.  All of the flowering plants, the two Christmas cacti and the African violets, decided to bloom at the same time.  They are so showy and so bright!
