Just got finished with bizzare conversation with the manager at my apt complex office today after receiving the above email:

Rich: Hi Tracy, I hear Santa played a visit today... [Smile spreads acorss my face]

Tracy [all businesslike, while wrapping up gift packs of cookies and candies]: Oh...were you expecting something?

Rich: Uhm...yeah...I got an email from you.

Tracy [Surveys the UPS and Fedex boxes that are always stacked in the corner of the office]: Uhm...sorry. I don't see anything for you.

Rich[straight face, thinking this must be a gag, then a smile and a glace at the table full of cookies and candies. No verbal response]

Tracy: Were you expecting something?

Rich: Well...the email from you was addressed to "valued resident"

Tracy[Look of contemplation, then immediate recognition]: Ohhh...I wonder who I meant to send that to?

Rich: Well...ahhh...Merry Christmas

Tracy [Continues to wrap cookie packs]: yeah. Merry Christmas
