The air was filled with an intoxicating scent of freshly baked cookies, wafting from inside the dimly lit building. As he peered through the window, he saw an old lady in a plaid dress, her hands busily working on a sewing machine while humming an unfamiliar tune.

But as he got closer, he saw that the old man had left a pile of envelopes scattered around. Turned out, he’d been writing letters to himself, addressing them all ‘To My Future Self,’ with notes like ‘Don’t forget to water the plants!’ or ‘Remember to visit your neighbor!’ The driver shook his head, chuckled softly, and thought, ‘Maybe next year I’ll bring cookies for Mr. Christmas.’

'Oh, honey,' she said gently, 'these birds live here too, don't they?' The delivery driver blinked a few times before breaking into laughter. 'Guess I missed my turn at being a kid tonight!'
