Fox News:

Sixty years later, Christmas wishes have finally found their recipients.

 

A stack of Christmas cards mailed in 1953 have finally found their way home after a six-decade circuitous journey, The Daily Freeman reported.

 

It's the same newspaper responsible for reuniting two Ulster, N.Y. brothers with their parents’ long-lost Christmas cards.

 

The story begins in 1953, when a stack of about 50 Christmas cards were sent to Vincent and Marina Maggiore. Sixty years later, a New York City flea market vendor found the cards at an auction held a few months ago. Then, Rick Buser, who was shopping at a flea market who used to live in Ulster County, spotted the cards.

 

“I noticed a box of cards, and I thought it was kind of odd that someone would be selling mail," Buser told the newspaper.

 

“I looked closely and saw the address was Kingston, and that’s where I grew up. When I looked closer, I saw Sawkill Road, so now, I was really intrigued,” he said.

 

“What were the odds of me seeing something from the same town and road I grew up on?”

 

He bought the cards for $15 and sent the stack to the Maggiore’s local newspaper, The Daily Freeman.
