Simian foe infiltrates Christmas
There won't be any broken glass ornaments at Barbara Lacy-Whalen's house this year. Nor will her 3-year-old son, Jack, get into trouble for playing with the Christmas tree. Not since Ms. Lacy-Whalen's gone bananas, so to speak, with her holiday tree trimmings.

Barbara Lacy-Whalen's toddler-proof tree features soft sock monkeys instead of glass ornaments. 'The best part of it is I'll walk by it, and my son will have taken one of the monkeys down, and he'll be playing with it,' Ms. Lacy-Whalen says.
She decorates the entire tree with sock monkeys in all shapes and sizes. This is her second year with this theme, and she says trading in her traditional blue and silver ornaments has made the tree more fun for her son.
