Astute observers in Sprague have been noticing the unpredictable appearance and disappearance of an odd green object bearing the words “Christmas Pickle.”
It’s about 3 feet long and festooned with Christmas decorations that make the mysterious item look like a hairy pickle bedecked with ornaments. It has been popping up around town on lawns, near playgrounds, across from Sayles School, and several other places, but never anywhere for long.
The maker and mover of the Christmas Pickle is a mystery. Santa Claus may have something to do with it, or perhaps a local elf who, bored with eight months of quarantine, busted out of lockdown and went to work.
