OUR CHRISTMAS TREE

My our little Christmas tree.
It sits on top of a little cabinet that mine Mommy's Daddy made a long long time ago.
It has an old, like really very very old little monkey underneath.
Mine Mommy keeps saying, over and over, "no June.  Get down Juney.  Leave it be JUNE!"
When I hear that LEAVE IT BE thing I know it's time to jump down ...


So, jump down I did and went to sit on the day bed
where I can look at my our little Christmas tree from far away
and I didn't touch a thing.
No, I didn't mess with the really very very old little monkey,
though I'm quite curious about why he has a BandAid on his toe.
And I didn't mess with any of
the little silver balls, either ... one just happened to fall onto the floor ...


... it's a pretty little silver ball, isn't it?

  4. It's a pretty tree, June, with such tempting baubles! 🙃 Your mom will have to explain the story of the monkey and the bandaid!

  5. What a beautiful and special little tree and I don't think we have ever seen a monkey that is so small. Gramma has a tree from Mom's great aunt that is some sixty years old but it is not in very good shape anymore. Enjoy your special tree.

  7. Stuff falls off of decorated trees all of the time, June.
    It's okay if you take advantage of something that has absolutely NUTHIN' to do with you.

  20. Oona: "It's funny how shiny attractive fun things tend to dislodge themselves, isn't it? It happens here too. Oona has no idea why."
    Lulu: "Isn't it because you cats like to—"

  21. It's a beautiful tree. That little monkey looks just like the one I brought 120 years ago when I immigrated to America. He was my pal for years and one of my favorite toys. I'm sure you'll always treat him well.
