65 years ago, I gave my younger brother an archery set. It had real arrows with points. I was not sure of how to manage a target, but my clever uncle, who lived only a block away said he'd go to a farm he knew and get some bales of hay. He kept two of the three 4ft. by about 2ft. in his truck, but late at night he brought the 3rd one in and put it in front of the tree with a ribbon around it and a tag saying "from Santa."

    Next morning, Steve found a bale of hay with his name on it. Jokes were made about Santa deciding my brother needing to go on a diet, etc..and it was an interesting 15 minutes until he opened my present.
