about the annual Christmas Yard Display Contest – even though Vera Carp looks to
win it again with the addition of live sheep to her exhibit. Adding to the
Yuletide suspense, the infamous Christmas Phantom has struck again, Bertha
Bumiller’s husband is missing, waitress Inita Goodwin is utilizing a hair dryer
to thaw frozen hamburger and Didi Snavely, of Didi’s Used Weapons, reminds us
all how dangerous it can be “to ride unarmed in a one-horse open
sleigh.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
