A Holiday Decorating Tip

Many people like to decorate their homes and yards this time of year. Heather and I always enjoy driving around to check out just how creative some of our neighbors can be. Snowmen seem to be a particularly popular decoration this year.

But, I think a word of caution may be in order. Think of this as a sort of public service announcement.

If, like my friend Aimee here, you decide to decorate your yard with a pinata in the shape of a snowman, please give some thought to what you fill it with. The traditional pieces of candy are probably a great idea. Even just stuffing it with paper would be fine. Fresh meat, on the other hand, might not be such a great idea . . . because . . .

. . . you just never know when the neighborhood cat is going to show up.

Merry Christmas Everyone !
