A kindly 90-year-old grandmother found buying presents for family and friends a bit much one Christmas, so she wrote out checks for all of them to put in their Christmas cards.
In each card she wrote, "Buy your own present" and then sent them off.
After the Christmas festivities were over, she found the checks in her desk!
Everyone had gotten a Christmas card from her with "Buy your own present" written inside, but without the checks!

This is so funny! thank you for sharing. This reminds me of something my own mom would do in her hurry to get cards out. Funny. I love the first joke in your response too. Nothing like a good clean joke for the holidays. Thanks!!!
