No, Brian did not drink any bad eggnog, and Kristi did not get coal in her stocking, we were robbed!
No major damage and no vandalism, but our Christmas decorations were stolen (or at least one was). This week, Tank (the dog) went nuts at the window and we just thought it was the wind. Apparently, we discovered last night as we were cleaning up from the 2 days of wind storms, our Christmas decorations were being taken. The dog must have scared them away. Only 1 reindeer was stolen, the other and the lighted presents were still attached to their power cords and ground stakes.
The dollar value is minimal and we got the last laugh, because the wind broke it and the lights did not work, but we still filed a police report in case they had a trend. The officer told me they had one or 2 this year, but not in Prescott Valley, all in Prescott.
We did not let it ruin our night and we still enjoyed the Christmas celebration at Heights Church. We even connected with my old friends and former camping lodge owner from Big Bear! That made me a very happy person since we thought we lost contact with them.
Anyway, if you see a stray plastic reindeer, with no lights from the neck up, please tell him to come home; his family wants to fix him up for next year! If you are the person who took him, I hope you give him a good home and don't just abandon him in a dumpster.
