That’s how it was taken. Those are delicious chocolate candies, none of which survive the holidays.

But I meant it in the niceset possible way.

Are those candies on the tree? Or candy-shaped glass ornaments?

Charlie Brown comes to mind when I gaze upon your tree.

Some people like to substitute sparklers for the candles. Most fun at the end of the season, when the trees are good and dry.

I think I’m getting it now.
I was thinking how feral could living be when surrounded by art, music, and facinating conversation with other Eurosnobs? But calling forth fire -bare-naked fire! right in your dining room … well, ok then. I see.

The long blue package is skis for my father-in-law.

Yes, the candles seem to keep the cat out of the tree. But we only light them a couple times during the holidays, and only with a bucket of water handy.

On the radio this morning, it was reported that a retired gentleman in Salzburg burned to death, yesterday I think, in a house fire, when his tree got out of control.

aha! the perfect cure for fiendish feline’s tree-scaling antics. Now, where did I put those matches?

What’s in the long blue package? A fire extinguisher?
(Thanks)
