Josh and Becca Thrap and Family

It is Christmas Eve. Daddy was driving from Christmas Eve service at church (First Christian Church Muscatine Iowa) with his father-in-law Dan Clark and Jacob, Elise and Cameron. Sarah Rummery (my-sister-in-law), Scott (my brother-in-law) and Jean (my mother-in-law) were in the car behind. Daddy was listening to Elise tell about how we were gong to spread magic Reindeer food around the yard for Santa’s Reindeer when we got home and what to our wondering eyes did appear,but a lone deer dashing across traffic with no fear. All Cars were stopped and to my surprise a deer came at us with fire in her eyes. We think that it saw the headlights a gleaming and the temptation to jump them could not be resisted. So up on our Van hood Reindeer hoofs landed and no sooner than this happened she left with a clammer. We sat astonished not quite knowing what was the matter. A third deer came passing with out any harm and off we continued laghing it off. We arrived at the Clarks and examined the damage a front driver panel dented and a story to tell. Becca listened and with a frown said something about “Deer’s loving Thrap vehicles and that it was inevitable.” (I was one of he few Thraps’ to not have yet had a Deer Vehicle collision, but no more)

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Laugh
