Cat's are already poised to pounce on ornaments, sleeping under the tree, and hyper playing around in the room with the large tree.
 
Needlephobic, nice festivle. Not even sure if we even have something like that in Chicago. Closest thing is a variety of Christmas trees in the Museum of Science and Industry.

Here's Jenna and a favorite Christmas "must see" near Pasadena:
Like a community castle, the 1922 Mediterranean-style mansion owned by ice-cream magnate George Balian, in Southern Californi, sits majestically aglow with thousands of lights, drawing busloads of visitors, pushcart vendors and strolling carolers.
For many, many years the Balian family has decorated their mansion and the 3.5 acre of land that surrounds it.  In fact, they started the lighting display back in 1955!
The home originally was decorated with 10,000 colored lights and now the 10,000 lights cover just the front walkway alone.  There are scenes like Santa Claus with his reindeer, elves, a nativity scene, and many others.
