I bought a Christmas Tree! It's just a small one, due to space constrains in the storeroom. I dressed it up all nicely in the traditional colours of red and gold. I contemplated other colour schemes but perhaps I'm just a purist or traditionalist at heart...and red does match our living room rather well.
This morning I heard scratching noises coming from the base of the tree. I freaked out, thinking it was termites in the wood. My whole house has so much wood, i fear to imagine what it would be like with a pest problem of the termite kind! Kimmy and I untied the base and opened up the little gunny sack. Inside there's a piece of wood and many of the tree's "leaves". The sounds stopped after that, and I'm not sure if I was being paranoid. Maybe it was just the "leaves" falling inside - there's just so many - and because it brushed the gunny sack, a scratching sound was probable.
To play safe, I placed a plastic bag below the tree, I presume termites can't eat through plastic so that will save my console from attacks.
