1. Stand in front of a supermarket wearing a Santa suit, ringing a bell and wishing everyone a Happy Solstice.
2. Wrap yourself in swaddling clothes and lay in the manger of the neighbor's nativity scene.
3. Put on a Santa suit and open a mall kiosk that sells reindeer jerky and Easter Bunny filets.
4. Get a job as a mall Santa and then tell all the children that they've been naughty and won't be getting any presents this year.
5. Buy a package of Keebler's E.L. Fudge Sandwich Cookies and hand them out to children saying this is what happens to the bad elves.
6. Decorate your yard to look like a sleigh and eight tiny reindeer crashed and burned. Walk back and forth along the street muttering, "Oh the humanity."
7. Sell jars of water, advertising them as Frosty the Snowman urns.
8. Post a sign in front yard that says "Carolers Welcome." When they get almost to the front door secretly turn on the sprinklers.
9. Randomly replace one bulb in your neighbor's lights so they no longer work. Repeat this every day until Christmas.
10. Decorate your yard for the holidays using your neighbor's decorations.
(Thanks to Rawhide. Sorry it's late. Happy New Year.)
Here are ten examples of people and things I miss from days gone by:
West Texas once had them everywhere. We could catch and release a dozen in an hour. They were easily caught and had no natural defense except to spit. My dog
never killed them deliberately; she just viewed them as toys, flinging them around until they quit moving. She probably contributed to their near extinction.
5. Our family and friends who support us and pray for us. You know who you are. You are appreciated and loved. 
but that's another story.
