Decorating the Tree

Against our better judgment, we put up a Christmas tree this year. The boys love it but they can't stay out of it. More or less, I have to redecorate the tree every night after they go to bed. This involves gathering ornaments from around the house where they have been tucked away in train cars or hauled around in dump trucks. I realize that putting a tree in your living room and then covering it with lights and shiny things and then expecting that your two young boys will stay out of it is not a realistic expectation. Maybe next year?
