I put up my Christmas tree this week. Well—I attempted to put up my Christmas tree.What actually happened was a battle of strategy, willpower, and feline determination that I absolutely did not win. You’d think after all these years I’d learn, but no. Every November I step into the ring like some wide-eyed optimist thinking, This time…
