BRISTOL, Tenn. — When it comes to a Christmas animal, many people first think of a reindeer.
After all, they're the ones that literally do the heavy lifting of Santa Claus' sleigh.
But for one Tennessee neighborhood, it's a duck... A very big duck to be precise.
Jonah Rasnake, of Bristol, has been placing a massive inflatable waterbird wearing a Christmas hat on his roof to help usher in the holiday.
Rasnake says he bought the duck seven years ago on a lark and put it up there.
This isn't the original duck, that one had to be replaced after all the wear and tear it took couldn't be fixed.
Not even with......duct tape.
So a successor, you could call it a "lucky duck" was chosen, and put back up on the top of Rasnake's house much to the delight of local residents.
