Trees are anchored to walls or heavy furniture with fishing line, so as to survive cat attacks. I make sure that only unbreakable ornaments are in swatting range. Anything breakable with sentimental value is displayed in a glass-fronted cabinet, not on the tree. Usually I end up breaking more stuff than the cats do.

Get yer kittehs their own tree
Get a tall scratching post, insert pine branches all around, still leaving plenty of scratching area. Then decorate it with some colorful, non-breakable cat toy ornaments. Every now and then, sprinkle some catnip on the ornaments.
