Season’s cheatings? A Georgia woman is sharing a hilarious cautionary tale about Christmas cards.
When real estate agent Jenny Smith ordered too many holiday cards, rather than toss them, she decided to spread joy to 50 random people in her work database. The inside read, “Merry Christmas! We are so happy to have you in our real estate family.”
“I was thinking, ‘Who doesn’t love getting a Christmas card?’” Smith, 52, tells TODAY.com.
Enter David.
“This is David,” a man says in a voicemail that Smith recently shared on TikTok. “You sent a Christmas card to my house by mistake, and now my wife is accusing me of buying a house for a hidden girlfriend because you supposedly talked to me back in June.”
“You need to straighten this out before it gets very, very ugly,” he adds. “I did not talk to you back in June.”
According to Smith, David filled out a form on her website in June and included all his contact info.
“I was nervous, but I called him back, and he put me on the phone with his wife,” Smith says. “I explained to her that her husband was not a client of ours, and I just had his name and address in our system.”
Smith says that the suspicious wife settled down immediately. They even ended up laughing a little about the misunderstanding.
“She was actually very nice. They both were," Smith says. “And I apologized. I said, ‘You know, I come from a church background, where you used to give Christmas cards to everyone at church whether you knew them or not.”
Though Smith had extra cards this year, she will not be going into the database of addresses.
"Oh, no! I don't think I will ever do that again," she says.
