Many years ago when my son was very little, he would have been around 4 or 5. We lived near a nice park that wound through 2 blocks through to next street. One day as my wife and I were walking through the park we noticed something under a tree over to the left of the park, out of the way. I went over to investigate and found a new pair of levi's 501 jeans. After discussing options with the wife, we decided to take the offering. They were a perfect fit when i got them home, what a score. We decided we would call this tree the christmas tree as it offerred up gifts. A week later sure enough there was something else left under the tree, this time something for my son. We only ever saw one other thing under this tree and I don't think we took it on that occasion. For that time, it was a source of much amusement and discussion, who was leaving this stuff under the tree, who was it for? It was indeed magical and i almost expected to one day find a bundle of money under this tree.
Many years later, thinking about this again, i now wonder if perhaps it wasn't my wife as she is a bit of a joker. But can't see how really, as there would have been a big risk of someone else taking the stuff before us. Oh well, i guess it's one of those things that we'll never know, but it added a bit of intrigue to our daily lives and was a lot of fun while it lasted.
