From The Mud Puddle

One of the interesting things about doing books, is seeing all the Christmas decorations that are out on peoples houses. Im sure you've seen one of the most popular items (well is at least here in NC it appears)...the blow up lawn decorations. Well, we were riding by this one house, and the santa was laying in a heap....all deflated. Hannah, my daughter's comment was that perhaps he was "sleighn" (as in slain). She's becoming a very punny person! (and yes, she made that up herself)
