(i am sure i've told this before, but, different context here)...
When I was in my mid twenties, we had an earlier holiday dinner with her and my uncle and for some reason the topic of Easter Egg hunts came up (well, it might have been Easter, so....) Anyway, i was jokingly complaining that my parents never did easter egg hunts when i was a kid. We got easter baskets of course, just no egg hunt. My older relatives all laughed and were like "oh, you poor neglected child, haha."
So, months later, we went to their old farmhouse for the annual big boxing day dinner, and my aunt told me she'd got me a special present. She came back into the room with an easter basket and told me she'd given me an easter egg hunt for Christmas. She'd hidden those coloured plastic eggs all over her house with chocolates in them. So she sent me off on my egg hunt which. of course, amused everyone a great deal.
it was awesome.
