These guys may not really be so bad, but would you want them coming down your chimney or showing up in your house with a sack?
It's the day after Christmas, and that always has those of us here at the Shorewood Patch feeling a little down. But probably not as down as these guys. You can't blame them, of course. How up can a guy get when he's got some jailer taking his picture just before he's packed off to a cell? We don't imagine a guy in those circumstances could get very up at all. No, not very up at all indeed. At least none of these gentlemen got arrested on Christmas itself. Not the last time we checked, anyway.

The Shorewood Police Department, Target, village workers and representatives from The Timbers brightened Christmas for 23 local school children.
An army of police officers swarmed Target with an even bigger group of children for the fourth annual Shop With A Cop. A dozen Shorewood police officers escorted 23 local school children on a shopping excursion through the store and then returned with them to Village Hall for a pizza lunch from Canella's and a chance to have a photograph taken with Santa Claus. Shorewood Police Officer Kim Giugler started the Shop With A Cop program and continues to organize it, along with Shorewood Recreation Supervisor Linda McCluskey.
