Around the corner from our home is a house where the owners have decorated an external tree with real Christmas ornaments and real candy canes. The first time I saw them a few days ago I have to admit one of the first thoughts I had was “aren’t they worried about theft/vandalism?” But the last time I checked, everything was still in place.
It is nice to see that kind of trust and optimism rewarded.
You forgot to give the address John.
Sorry – that wasn’t funny. I found myself thinking the same thing – aren’t they worried about kids stealing or smashing the ornaments. And that’s a sad assumption. It does make me want to cheer on that family for taking the risk. And I truly hope nothing untoward happens throughout the holiday season- that would be glad tidimngs indeed!
