The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

My one and only Christmas present was a very nice card from my wife. It was
unsigned with a note included to the effect that she specifically gave it to
me in mint condition so that I could give it to her next year.

If you give her another, sharpish, it won't be too late for the New
Year, and she can give you that one next year as you return hers.
