Okay, you made me do it.  Here are a few ways to tell if you're a ferret
owner at Christmas time.  Look out Grinch.
 
your Christmas tree has a few extra decorations.
 
there's a new star on your Christmas tree.'Hi Mom.'
 
all your presents are chewed and, or tasted.
 
you don't use tinsel, but there is something silver hanging from the tree.
 
some of your presents move on their own.
 
your Christmas tree sways, and there's no breeze.
 
your Christmas tree skirt has come alive.
 
your cats no longer get near the tree for fear of falling objects.
 
the Christmas tree stand has become a watering hole.
 
you have to tie down your Christmas tree.
 
not all presents are placed under the tree.
 
your Christmas tree is at least four feet off the ground.
 
your new socks are hidden, and you haven't opened that present yet.
 
you smile when you see something digging in your stocking.
 
you run out of film before the day is over.
 
you don't throw out the wrapping paper right away, something is snorkeling
through it.
 
you have more help than you need wrapping presents.
 
Merry Fuzzy Christmas, or whatever you celebrate.
