You know it wasn't all that long ago where my tree was pretty close to resembling the one on the left of your layout. I was greatly influenced by the department store trees.
I'd still do my trees like this if I can ever figure out how to kitty-proof them. Mainly because I've been collecting individual ornaments nearly all my life and I like to use them. But I'm not sure "kitty + shiny = good thing"! Hee.

We put our 1 foot tall in a pot non-decorated as of yet tree on the dinning room table to keep it away from Alexandra and the ferrets. I'm not sure that would work for cats though since they are bigger and can jump much further (than both Alexandra and the ferrets)! It does have presents and candy (from Sinterklaas, Dec 5) under it already. See, we know the true reason to have a tree!
And in the chocolate department, instant hot chocolate does not exist here, so I have to make it from scratch, with real Dutch-processed cocoa (but not Dutch grown). And marshmellows, those do exist; why, I don't know. But they're the large kind you have to cut in little pieces first.
I remember 'real' hot chocolate! And the best 'instant' cocoas still make you use milk instead of water. (When I want decadence, I melt a Hershey's kiss into the cup, too -- yummmm!)
