At the Christmas Tree lighting I walked with my wife and sat at a table of some friends of ours and noticed a big gold garland on the ground under the table. I was told that when they came down they saw the garland wrapped around all the chairs at the table, removed it and sat.
I was there about 20 minutes or so when a woman with a confused look on her face asked us if we were sitting at "her table". One of my friends said, "I don't think so, as we've been sitting here almost an hour now", and that was that. (We didn't ask her if she lost a gold garland)
