Christmas in the Country

Urban, suburban, exurban - I know that my new hometown, Northfield, is in the country because I almost got hit by a jacked-up monster truck while crossing the main downtown street and because many front yards are currently ornamented with snowmobiles, poised ferally toward the ditches in which you'd have to run the sleds to reach the actual trails outside town.

And come to think of it, is there an uglier, more ludicrously decorated vehicle in the world than a snowmobile?
