A local tradition is the annual reprinting of an actual local news story that first appeared in 1965. For many families in this area, it wouldn't seem like Christmas without the chance to read it one more time. I thought I would like to share it with my friends.

Very funny.
Agricultural Nitpicker Alert:
Bad interchangeable use of hay and straw in the story, though. They are, of course, two completely different things.
No matter where you go, there you are.
