True story about Xmas
Christmas Day
It was 6 a.m. on Christmas morning when a strange woman tapped at
the door. She was dressed only in her night clothes. The lady was cold and dazed and Brian invited her in for tea.
Brian, a retired 84 year old doctor, rang his son to announce there was a rather good looking old woman in a night gown having tea in his kitchen. Brian's son, who lived two hours away, thought Brian had finally lost his grip on reality so rang the police to check him out.
The police went to Brian's house and sure enough there was a scantily dressed woman, now with a blanket wrapped around her, sitting by the fire sipping tea. Unable to give them either her name or address the police decided to go around the village knocking on doors to see if people could help with their enquiries.
A local shop owner suggested a house where he knew an old lady was staying for Christmas. Arriving at the house the police asked whether the lady was in. The old lady's friend said she was but there was little point in checking as her friend was unable to walk far.
The police asked if she would check anyway and sure enough the bed was empty. Far from being in bed the old lady had left the house and, in complete darkness dressed only in her night clothes, had wandered for around a mile in freezing weather. On seeing Brian's Christmas tree lights she simply turned up on the door step!
Having now finished tea, cereal, toast, some Christmas cake, the lady was finally collected by her flustered friend.
