Fraternity of Junk Flinging Children

So here is the question of the week. If you were a camera that was being harrassed and abused by certain children, where would you hide to protect yourself from them? I will give you options.
A. Behind the frozen peas in the freezer
B. In a black sock in Tom's sock drawer
C. In a hole in the frame of couch, next to the springs
D. On the very top shelf of the cans cabinet, pushed behind the refried beans and hominy.
The answer will be found at the end of this post.

So, Here is a picture we took of our AWESOME christmas tree. It is about 18 feet tall. I absolutely love it. I must love it because there aren't many things that I will put up with even though it drops things all over the floor (the needles), demands to be fed 2 times a day (otherwise it will drop even MORE needles), pokes me every time I walk past it (that's what she said), and takes up half the room with it's extra long arms.
The tree has been targeted by the fraternity of junk flinging children. It has been the victim of many run by attacks. I have found many things in it's poor boughs including Q's coat (about 7 feet up), cars, paper airplanes, balls, spoons, drum sticks, food (they found out that cereal sticks in the needles......haha, sooooo funny..........she said sarcastically), blankets and couch cushions. Someday they look at the tree and see it for exactly what it is..... a pretty tree, but at the moment it is the funnest toy in the house.
It also has been constantly stripped and robbed of it's jewlery and clothing (christmas lights and ornaments), leaving it's bottom half constanly naked and exposed (it's a good thing that the tree is ambiguious and not a female..... or male for that matter, I suppose).
We have been having a very fun holiday season so far and are looking forward to a great rest of the season. I wonder if the kids are sick of my constant caroling. If they are, then they are Scrooge McDucks because I am not about quit. I only have six weeks to get in all the christmas I can handle and I plan on taking advantage of every second of it, except at 3 in the morning, I suppose.
If any of you guys truelly know me and how I REALLY operate, you already know the answer to the quiz question above. But for the rest of you the answer is C. In a hole in the frame of the couch, next to the springs. I searched every couch and finally found that it had fallen through a small hole in one of the couches. I was hoping that one of my "little treats" had fallen in too and given me a little surprise but alas, I only found the camera. Oh well, the camera is a good enough surprise by itself.
OH!!!! Another cool thing happened last Saturday. Tom and I were out to eat and guess who we saw!!!?? The winner of Survivor China!!!! He looked like every other young punk kid, he had a curly, shaggy mohawk, tight short pants and pink keds. Yes people, I said pink keds. I pointed him out to Tom and it was cool for about 30 seconds and then we moved on. I must say, I would love to play survivor, although it would be so hard to be away from family for so long.
Well, we love you all and hope that this message finds you all safe and happy. Merry Christmas
