I needed a 9×12 envelope so I went to Office Depot to purchase one on Christmas Eve. A nice looking middle aged fellow walked in the store about the same time I did and we ended up at the same spot as we both needed to purchase the exact same thing (what are the odds?) He then proceeded to the checkout line holding his package of 4 envelopes as I did with mine. Standing there behind him I commented that 9×12 envelopes must be a popular last minute Christmas gift this year. He chuckled and said, “And not a really cheap one either.” (a package of 4 costs $5.49). He then added, “I only need one,” to which I replied, “I only need one, too.” He then asked, “Do you want to split the cost of one package?” I said, “Sure!” With tax it came to $5.94 and it just so happened we each had 3 $1 dollar bills and told the cashier he could keep the change (our gift to him!) We each took two envelopes, wished each other a Merry Christmas and then… he got in his truck and drove off. And that was probably as close as I will ever get to starring in my own Hallmark Christmas movie.
