An Upper Peninsula woman got a Christmas card from a relative. But here's the strange part: Lorraine Beauchamp's sister-in-law died in 2010.

Beauchamp says the card was mailed 11 years ago by Marion Beauchamp of Iron Mountain. The envelope even has a 33-cent stamp, the price of common first-class mail in 2000.

Lorraine Beauchamp tells The Daily News in Iron Mountain that she was afraid to open the envelope when it arrived at her Quinnesec home on Christmas Eve. She says it was a "shock" and jokes that maybe her late sister-in-law was trying to tell her something.

An unnamed employee at a mail-sorting center in Kingsford tells the Daily News that the card could have been stuck for years in a canvas bag.
