Every year we run across something that we forgot to put away from Christmas - a candle holder or small decorative item. This year we found a couple of those, but we knew of one thing that we did not put away for which we could not account - a small felt basket with some chocolates. We knew Spunky had found it after an amazing several days and had partaken in its riches, but we had not seen it since. Well, the mystery is solved! Karen found it on the window sill behind the couch where Megan had finally put it to keep the dentist bill in check. And still two chocolates!
This is the second mystery associated with this basket. It appeared on my desk at work, but I had no idea who was the little elf. I asked others who had received them, but no one knew the identity of the giver. That mystery was only solved after I returned to work and happened to see a few of these behind one of the permit center supervisor's desk and she owned up that she and the other supervisor had conspired and had kept it a mystery.
In the years to come the little red basket will have to be the hidden treat tradition (we just hope we remember where we hide it if the kids don't!).
Wait, there was chocolate out during Christmas and I didn't know about it?!?! Camyn, you need to tell Auntie Katie these things!!!
ReplyDeleteCamry never shares the news of chocolate--unless you count wiping her fingers on my clothing as a news brief. "Hey, there is chocolate here! Uh...I mean was."
