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
Yeah, I assume that everyone who decorates gets one, and it’s just a silly piece of paper, right? Of course, the funniest thing is that I haven’t even finished decorating yet.
