How scandalous! We have a secret admirer! This admirer doesn't shower us with gifts or good deeds (such as shoveling our driveway after the blizzard of '09). Instead, she (I'm pretty sure it's a she) sent us an anonymous Christmas card.
Going through the mail last week, I happened upon a Christmas card without a return mailing address, so I checked the postmark. Unfortunately, that was too faded to read. No problem. Surely the sender would sign her name. Oh no. She wanted to keep it interesting.
I opened the card and discovered... nothing except for the pre-printed message. Seriously! I had to laugh. No salutation. No closing. Nothing except for an envelope addressed to the three of us.
I've never heard of anyone anonymously wishing a Merry Christmas to someone. Maybe that's the gift: we get to play detective to determine the sender. Well, if that's the case, I do have a few clues and two possible suspects (but for privacy's sake, I won't reveal their names).
Clue #1: Red ink used to address the envelope
Clue #2: Very neat and pretty penmenship, much like a teacher's
Clue #3: Based on the minimal postmark, I'd say this is a local admirer
Clue #4: This person knows all three of us since she addressed the letter to all of us (not just me or Scott)
To whomever our admirer might be, thank you for the smile. And Merry Christmas right back at you!
