So, one Christmas when I was in high school, my friend and I got these reindeer stuffed animals for like $1.99 at Khol's. I bought a bunch, gave most of them away as Christmas presents, and kept one for myself. His name was comet, and he used to be mine. Before I knew it, my dad had claimed Comet as his own and insisted that Comet was happier with him, on his recliner. So, for the past 11 years or so we have joked each other every Christmas about who Comet belongs to.
Since Bobby and I have moved to Utah, my dad also kept a Muppet's Christmas Carol movie that he & my mom had given to me when I was in college. It's been in NC since we moved here, so it added to the fun joke that my dad kept my Christmas stuff.
This year, my dad got me a special gift for Christmas Eve. He got me The Muppets Christmas Carol and Comet. I was laughing so hard as I opened his letter and then the package. I was so sad to see the joke end that I planned on giving Comet back to him on Christmas day, but it turns out he was able to find one on Amazon! So, now we both have Comets!
