Okay, firstly all of these are really cute ideas. I picked the Secret Santa one to challenge you! This sounds like a very good potential psychological horror story! :open_mouth:
I imagine all these sweet, normal gifts and notes like a Santa teddy bear that sings jingle bells :lol: but they don't just get strange...let's say it starts to get weird when another teddy bear comes, this time a snowman maybe, but his music box on the inside has been tampered with, so his jingle sounds distorted and spooky. :fearful: The next day, she gets a sinister sounding note, "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to hide under your bed all day!" So ya know she goes home and is super paranoid, but doesn't find anything out of the ordinary, so she goes to sleep like, "freaking pranksters! They almost got me!" Coming into work the next day, her coworkers immediately give her a look of horror because she received another Secret Santa gift for the day. This time, it's in a gift box that nobody dared open. She laughs and informs them this has all been a prank. It eases the minds of everyone in the office...until she opens the gift box and finds a Polaroid picture of herself sleeping. :astonished:
Okay, I'm going to end up writing a synopsis of the entire story :lol: So I'll leave it at that.
BUT I also want to say the Christmas card arriving 50 years too late was a strong contender for me. I think it could obviously be some timey wimey love stuff like Lake House or whatever but I think this would be far cuter:
-The card is sent to a 65 year old lady and has no return address. She's stunned because she was always an outcast in high school and thought nobody could ever love her considering how poorly she was treated. This leads her on a Serendipity-esque journey to find whoever this boy, now man, was who was secretively in love with her all those years ago.
My proposed ending:

Give it that feel good Hallmark Christmas movie feel by having her find out the card was from her husband. Whether he's alive, dead, or whatever doesn't matter because it's still cute. But, obviously, have him having passed away a few years prior is great for a bittersweet ending. :wink:
