We've all got our funny stories that revolve around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all of them.
One of mine is about Christmas. I was in my early teens when the neighborhood began a small tradition that lasted for a few years.
People would buy an extra Christmas tree and put it out on their front yards. The top of the tree would have a white light on it but a person could use any type of outdoor Christmas bulbs in any color from the top down.
One year people's bulbs started to go missing. Folks were wondering what was going on and if someone was stealing them. ((When the houses were built at first people were stealing bits and pieces of mail boxes for some odd reason. They'd take the handles or even the entire lid off.))
It was later discovered a squirrel was unscrewing the bulbs and storing them as nuts for the winter!
The bulbs were never recovered so it's anybody's guess where they are and if they even survived the winter.
