The Haunted Reindeer

I am being run ragged by a decorative reindeer. We plugged it into the external plug point to begin with and placed it on the patio. My wife said we couldn’t see it there. It needed to be on the lawn. So I had to buy an extension lead. It rained heavily that night and the lights went out and haven’t worked since. It turns out that the lights are waterproof, but the plug isn’t. So I bought some battery powered lights and wrapped them around the reindeer. They keep coming on and going off whenever they feel like it. I am in and out of the back door like a demented fiddler’s elbow. I’ll be glad when Christmas is over.
