It doesn't take much to confuse me and this certainly did.

Every year our neighbours give us a calendar as part of our Christmas presents. The calendars are always lovely and this years is no different. However, on opening the calendar in readiness of adding appointments, inside (remember I have taken off the cellophane it was enclosed in) I found an envelope. I assume it is the envelope to post it in. But you don't find it until you open it, which you don't normally do before you give it to somebody. Or do you?
See confused!! :-D :-D

Maybe it's so you can send it back if you have a bad year! :-D :-D

Friends of ours always give us a calendar and one year I opened it and then handed it back - they'd bought them at a special price in November, they were for that year not the new one :-S

The lady took all 8 back and got new ones, they never looked at the date just the pictures on the back to see what scenes of Ireland there was :-S

If it’s anything like birthday cards, the envelope is cellophaned with the calendar to stop people nicking it.

Det but there wa no indication that it included an envelope it was buried inside. And the calendar is approx 12x12.
