Christmas Mystery
We have a Christmas Mystery....
On Christmas Morning, Barry, Chelsea and I joined my Dad, Grandma and Mark and Julie for a big Christmas morning breakfast. (It was yummy too). Anyways, after we finished our breakfast we decided that we should exchange gifts and cards/white envelopes (inside joke). Chelsea must have been a really good girl because Pop Porter gave her money to go shopping with (boy, he knows me too well), Nan Porter gave her clothes (that I picked out), 16 pairs of socks (because I told her that she was running low on socks), some books and a Sarah angel and Mark/Julie gave Chelsea a Cabbage Patch Kid named Taya.....
Anyways, Barry and I had gifts for everyone too and a card. I asked Barry to give out the cards while I opened our present. While he was giving out the cards he asked me who did we get this card from.....? I said that I did not know .... the card was not even opened.... and furthermore it should not have been in the pile of cards that I had seperated the night before to give out in the morning. (i still have no idea how it had gotten in the pile of family Christmas cards)....?????
Anyways, I opened it and discovered that it was a Christmas card from Chelsea Allison....?????? I was speechless and that does not happen very often!!!!!!!!!! Inside the card was money and a note from Chelsea to say that Tim Horton's coffee was on her. WOW!
Now I know that the card and money was from Chelsea, but someone had to have helped her! I have an idea of who the assistant might be. But my mom gave Chelsea money to take us for coffee on Mother's Day.... so it might have been her..... Plus, the card is signed like my mother would have signed it.....
However..... my mom lives in Halifax and there is no postage on the letter (and Julie swears that she did not deliever it)! Plus the outside of the letter is addressed with our address but it does not look exactly like my mothers extremely neat penmenship. Plus, the money insude the envelope was inside a paper pouch so it would not fall out.... and my mother always just puts the money loosly in the envelope.... And there was a sticker on the envelope and my mom does not use stickers on her envelopes..... Can you tell that I have really thought about this....So, it is a real mystery!
Anyways, whoever helped Chelsea with her gift to Barry and I - thanks, it was really nice of you! It was a nice surprise. I was shocked and it took me a few minutes to wrap my head around the fact that the card was from Chelsea....LOL. Anyways, it was one of my best memories of Chirtsmas 2006. It will be going into her scrapbook!
