Every year on the first of December br the annual Christmas presents treasure hunt begins. br During the January sales, my wife and I buy br our Christmas presents for the on coming year, br buy them and hide them br and each year we forget where we hid them too. br One year I had a bright idea, br I would draw up a little map, br then my wife decided on a spring clean br moving furniture from one room to another br which rendered my little map rather obsolete. br Hence, the treasure hunt began br and when we had found most of them, br another problem then arose br about who were the presents for. br We drew up a list of everyone br and attached a present to their name, br but nothing is straightforward in our house, br backward maybe. br The list was binned br and we had to start again. br In our search for Christmas presents br something more surprising is what came to light, br a five-year old box of mouldy chocolates br that we had bought for someone br but could not remember who. br Waste not, want not is the key words here, br now who don’t we like br these mouldy old chocolates we will give to them br for their treat this year. br As for all those missing presents that we couldn’t find, br it looks like shopping again br and maybe next year we’ll find the ones we lost br and sit down to figure out someone who we can give them to.
