and it really was magical. I'd just lie there and look at the lights and the shining ornaments and imagine myself in some Christmas-y alternate universe. I don't know if cats do that, but they might.

just thinking how magical it looked
i used to like to get a favorite little picture book or two and then lay under the tree and read my books.

i miss childhood.
i miss the feeling that the magic gave me

I always did it when I had a tree (and when the space was clear of cat tinsel barf).

It does look really cool. If you have a tree this year you should definitely do it, but turn the lights on the tree on, and turn all the ones in the room off first... infinitely better that way.
