ANOTHER GIFT OPTION

If you’ve already started making your holiday lists, the folks at Pura Vida Miniatures would like a word with you. No, they’re not pushing those tiny little Dickens Villages people like to display; they’re selling miniature horses as a holiday gift! (Yes, really.) “Taking care of a horse teaches young children responsibility and makes for a great companion,” said a company rep. Oh sure, you’ll look like a hero come Christmas morning, but who do you think will be wielding the shovel later on, picking up all that “processed hay”? Yeah, Dad, that’s who. Pass. Again.
