The neighborhood "yard of the week" contest is back in full swing, and some of my neighbors have been overly competitive about having this coveted sign on their lawn. If this sounds like a sitcom, it probably is.
One neighbor, Stan, purchased five enormous blow up skeletons and placed them on competitors' front yards as a warning. One neighbor was angry, deflated the lawn toy and threw it away with a vengeance ("it's a funeral in a trash can," he said). Another neighbor dressed their skeleton in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt and named him Skelly.
Why I received a skeleton on my lawn is beyond me, I barely cut the grass. But I welcomed my skeleton as a gift. I pulled out the Christmas decorations, and now my skeleton is lit and ready for Santa, who has cut and trimmed the trees.
If I win yard of the week I’ll put the skeleton and sign on Stan’s lawn and I’ll wish him a Merry Christmas.
