A Christmas Story

It was a cold winters day in December. C was struggling to get her Christmas shopping done in time, between work and morning sickness, it was tough task. One day after work she stopped in Kohl's to pick up her boss's present (and maybe her husband). Her shopping goes well. She finds cute earrings for her boss and a nose hair trimmer for her hubby. She pays and makes her way to the car. It is somewhere between the car and getting to work the next day, when she realizes her work badge is missing. Typically she would wear it hooked onto her pants on the left side. After checking the car, the parking lot she walks through, her desk, her entire purse, "alas" she sighs "it is lost for good". Realizing she must have lost it in Kohl's where in her frenzied shopping it must have knocked off, she calls twice a day to see if anyone turned it in. Nothing. Eventually, after much weeping, a few days later she finally commits to getting a new badge.

Fast forward....

It is now March 2 when C checks her new email of the morning. Lo and behold, shining and new in her email is the news of the day. Her badge has been returned! It has found its way home. It is being cared for by the badge lady of the building! C has at long last been reunited with her beloved badge.

The End.
