...hiding presents and being unable to find them, I mean.
A while ago I bought a huge bag of nuts for dh’s stocking (he adores nuts) - can I find them? They’re not with the stash of things I bought later, nor in any of the usual hiding places, either.?
I don’t think he’s found them and eaten them on the quiet, either!
As adults, my two DSs have described how they searched our boats (they grew up on the canals) from top to bottom one year, when they were about 8 & 10, in search of their presents. They had given up, but then one accidently kicked a suitcase and realized it was harder than expected ... . They've only told me this in recent years, and I didn't suspect a thing at the time. They obviously inherited my slyness
2 years ago my sister in law and I went to a class to naked fused glass Christmas ornaments. They had to be fired so, were delivered to my house a week or so later. Mine went on my tree and hers were safer put away as we were unable to see her before Christmas. Last year I could not find hers anywhere but even more odd was that I couldn’t find mine either. Decorations will go up next week so I’m hoping they will all mysteriously turn up .
I have six children and when they were little would buy them all 1 of the same think (selection box for instance). They were all put into their pile of presents (They didn't read the labels) only to find on Xmas day they someone had 2 and someone had none. Either an accident whilst wrapping or mum having had 1 too many wines while dishing out the presents. Who is to know?
