I came home last night to find this:

I know my cats are not to blame, they can’t be bothered by the tree. I’m quite sure my dog Pete was barking out the window at someone (probably the mailman) on another street. Because HOW DARE YOU WALK ON THAT STREET OVER THERE! I found LOLDog that sums it up perfectly:

I tried to set the tree back up but it appears the base is completely broken. Now I have to decide: do we celebrate Christmas around the broken tree or do I just undecorate the pile, clean up the mess and do without this year?

What do you suggest I do?
