My jolly holiday homestead is recognized by the Capital of Silicon Valley.

I dunno, it’s not really all that big a deal, really, but this morning when I left the house I found on my front steps a folder with the City of San Jose logo on it. When I opened it, I discovered inside this certificate:

City of San Jose

2011 WINTER HOLIDAY HOMESTEAD

[Signed] Pierluigi Oliverio, Councilmember, District 6, City of San José
