Let me start out by saying thanks to those who responded, the guesses were great! That being said, other than the CD none of us were even close. It was a CD on top, but I was totally off with the band. It was Stainds’ new CD – ‘The Illusion of Progress’, a most excellent choice!
I chose to open the smaller triangle box in the middle next. I had no idea what was in the box, it was fairly light and shaking didn’t reveal any unusual noises. When I opened the package I discovered a firewood carrier to help haul the wood for my new woodstove in the print shop.
Next it was on to the large triangle-shaped box. I removed the wrapping paper from one end, cut the tape on the end piece of cardboard, removed it and looked inside – empty!
Or at least it appeared empty – upon closer inspection I discovered that the box has been constructed around the metal pipe and triangle shaped frame of the firewood carrier holder. The handles of the firewood carrier hook around the top of the frame to hold the wood – pretty cool!
So there you have it – the mystery solved for another Christmas. We were discussing the mystery gift at our traditional Christmas breakfast (eggs, sausage patties, home fries and english muffins). Karen’s daughter more than hinted that I will again be her victim of choice next Christmas. I could be wrong, but I thought that I saw a touch of evil in her smile as she spoke. I may be asking – no, begging – for everyone’s help again next year so don’t be surprised if you hear me yell HELP!
until next time…
