This past December, I changed my front yard into a winter wonderland.
Reindeer with twinkling lights danced across the lawn, an inflatable Santa waved to passersby, and a large rainbow-lit sleigh took center stage.
One evening, while cleaning up my kitchen, I heard a crash.
Surprised, I dashed to the window. To my amazement, my neighbor Linda’s children, Ethan, Mia, and tiny Jacob, were running through my yard like it was a playground… except they intended to ruin everything in their path.
Ethan was 11, so he was old enough to recognize what he was doing incorrectly. Nonetheless, he got inside the sleigh and began shaking it for some reason.
Meanwhile, eight-year-old Mia tugged the reindeer’s lights, chuckling. Finally, their younger brother kicked the inflatable Santa until it wobbled dangerously.
