To Charlie Cook concerning trees:
 
        Generally, Christmas trees are not harmful.  But be careful not to put
any "tree preservers" in the water - because then we have a MAJOR PROBLEM.
 
        Also watch out for those beautiful poinsettias - they can cause severe
GI distress in animals who chew on them.  Holly berries can also be very
upsetting tothe GI tract.
 
Merry Christmas, everyone!!
