Christmas Packages

Posted by Michael on December 28th, 2004 filed in Family, Stories

They looked at me like I was crazy.

I had a larger family gathering planned for Christmas this year, but those plans got derailed this year. My stepfather went into the hospital for a whole laundry list of problems (thank you for your prayers, by the way - he’s home and doing much better!), and we kept postponing the get-together until we weren’t getting together at all.

So today I went to the UPS store with armfuls of brightly colored Christmas packages. I burst in the front door with a frantic look, and said to the two startled clerks, “CAN I STILL GET THESE PACKAGES THERE BY CHRISTMAS?”

They didn’t say anything. They just sort of turned their heads and looked at each other.

Well. I thought I was funny. Hrumph.

    Funny? Or demented? I think the jury is still out on that one.
