In my dream world, our house is decorated for Christmas just like the CB2 catalog. How cute and not overly Christmasy are their atomic little ornaments?
The problem is that we're not spending Christmas here in Richmond. Our families both still live in Michigan, which means we're taking a 12 hour road trip on the 20th and not returning until the 29th. As much as I want to decorate for our first holiday in this house, I'm just not sure it's worth the time, energy and money to take it all down by the 20th (which we'd definitely have to do, or Devil Cat will destroy it while we're gone). So, what should I do? No decorations at all, go all out or find some kind of compromise (stockings and a few decorations, but no tree)?

I don't think we can decorate this year either since we're moving out of our current place right around Christmas. It kind of breaks my heart. But maybe you can just do some outside things, like lights and a wreath? Devil Cat can't destroy those, right? Perhaps I shouldn't underestimate an animal named "Devil Cat."
