The term "1st world problems" should have given it away. (I thought the OP was serious also.)
Some examples of 1st world problems:
"man! It is snowing real heavy. Now I have to shovel the drive."
"It's pouring rain and I need to go get cigarettes."
"The refrigerator is too full. I can't get the rest of these groceries in!"
Hence, my dilemma with my train ornaments. A real 1st world problem.

There ya' go! Thanks!Most of the ornaments require to be plugged into an existing light bulb. One year I added a separate string of lights just for those ornaments. I will probably go back to putting those ornaments on the tree maybe 20 years from now. It is still difficult now.
You could hang a wreath over a doorway to a living room and attach a few ornaments to the wreath. A photograph of the two of you kissing under the wreath is a nice substitute for mistletoe.

Wow! do I ever know the nutcracker thing! My daughter in law is building up quite a collection. Not nearly as big as years. Just give her a few years. Oh, boy!I got ya beat. My tree has 380 nutcracker ornaments on it. I have a room full of nutcrackers also. (450+) and not cheap ones from the Far East.

Fortunately, our cat doesn't bother the tree. How old are you? 100? God bless you!My tree only has lights--it's a pre-lit artificial tree. When I got indoor cats I stopped putting ornaments on the tree because they attracted the cats. Prior to that I had real trees with hand-strung lights and ornaments. I've still got one ornament that had been on my first Christmas tree more than 80 years ago.

Good! I am glad we cleared that up. Lately I have been quite worried about my own mortality and my ability to collect my Social Security if they raise the age of retirement again. The saving grace for me is that I don't own any ornaments that are anywhere close to as old as yours. I would be terribly happy if I even make it to 80. Thank you, Dave.Only 83 (last week), but sometimes it feels older. I believe the ornament mentioned was on my family's tree in 1938.

Boy, do I ever hate 1st world problems. My wife loaded up the Christmas tree with all of her ornaments so much so, that I could not find any room for mine.
I really wanted to put my Hallmark train collection up there.
All of those eyelets and no hooks. Oh, the humanity!
