An 85-year-old woman went “home” for Christmas, but left only a note.

A Florida couple is searching for a woman who left an unsigned card claiming she grew up in their house during World War II.

“Not a Christmas goes by that I don’t go back in my memory of those war years, our gatherings, laughter, and tears too, but all in all they were good memories.”

The couple want to invite her back to the 1925 bungalow so she can share more memories.

Staff members at the National Library of Australia found a sweet surprise hidden inside a box of papers belonging to a poet who died in 1941.

While going through materials donated to the library by the family of late poet and journalist A.B. “Banjo” Paterson, the library staffers found a souvenir tin filled with individual­ly wrapped chocolates.

The tin was commission­ed by Britain’s Queen Victoria and sent to soldiers in South Africa during the Boer War around 1900. Paterson was a war correspond­ent for Australian papers during that time.

A 20-year-old British college student whose extralarge breasts cause her “unbearable pain” is asking for help paying for breast-reduction surgery.

Eight giraffes who have lived for years on a peninsula positioned on a lake in Kenya were stranded when flooding turned the area into an island.
