I have a little Christmas tree in my office and the cat dive-bombed it yesterday and wrestled it to the ground, scattering shards of broken ornaments all over the floor. After I cleaned everything up and re-set the tree I noticed it now lists severely, like it's trying to stand tall in a perpetual wind storm. It looks faintly ridiculous, containing only a single unbreakable Elvis ornament and the Bumble dog toy with the broken neck hoisted to the top, like a demented Star of David. Other than that it's completely bare. The tree looks like it just lost a fight. Which of course it did.
