One time it was even knocked all the way downstairs! Good times........ Oh and last year was classic, the dog kept trying to lay on my shoes as I opened presents christmas morning. I kept moving my shoes so he wouldn't lay on them, then he threw up all over them....perhaps in spite. Our family’s had the dog knock over the tree on more than one occasion.

It fooled everyone. Made some say to me, "Way to steal some chords from a famous Beatles song, Craig."
