Merry Christmas?

How do you think this survived the last two and a half months? 

In the back yard.

Did it feel all alone? 

Abandoned? 

I knew it was missing but after circling the tree several times it was no where to be found.  There are 5 others like it and if we'd found those why couldn't we find it?  I finally decided that it had fallen and been vacuumed up.  Where else could it be?

Now if someone could please tell me what I did with it after carrying it around for an hour hooked to my pinkie...and bringing it inside, I'd greatly appreciate it.
