After the annual shipping of Christmas cards, there are inevitably a few that don't quite make it to their intended destination. You usually receive one or two back in the mail with the post office stamp (NSN) or RETURN TO SENDER. I am usually a bit bummed out and note the change for the following year.
This year, when I received one of our letters back, it took me a bit by surprise. Not only had the letter been denied at the original location, but it had been readdressed to a second location where it was also denied. The front of the letter looked like someone's doodle pad in a boring high school class.
It was what was found on the back that sparked my interest in writing a post about this first. Below is a picture of the back this letter:
Albeit, not a monumental first, there was a note left from one of the incorrect recipients. The person where the envelope made it's final stop left us a little note of encouragement. If you can't make it out it says " We're loving Albuquerque & your old home!!" Although the note wasn't really meant for us to get back (as it was designated for the people we intended to receive our card) it was wonderful to know these people were having fun.
So, thank you to whoever you are... we enjoyed your note!
