I've also had an incident that is hugely typical of me. Midnight last night, A and I exchanged one present (most we exchange after breakfast on Christmas day, but we allow ourselves one in advance), and I was given a beautiful green crystal pendant necklace. I was very thrilled, and went to bed holding it (sappy, I know). Woke up this morning, and couldn't find it. Anywhere. I've searched, and searched... all day, I've looked. I've taken the bed apart, shaken out all the bedclothes... I haven't actually left the house since I got it, so there's only so far it can have gone. But it's nowhere to be found.
Current theory is that I ate it. In my sleep.
*headdesk*
It's had me and A in hysterics on and off for most of today. I'm really REALLY hoping it turns up in some corner of the room somewhere soon, though.
So, hope you're all having a peaceful holiday, and don't eat your presents unless they're edible!

I lost my engagement ring. I can't type well with my rings on, and they catch on things, so I frequently put them in a jewelry box. One Monday morning, I could find the wedding ring, but the engagement ring was gone. I had to go off to teach without it. I was heartbroken. I felt dreadful. I felt guilty. Even my students noticed. BH was going to replace it on our anniversary.
Six weeks after I lost it, but before our anniversary, the ring turned up in a dresser drawer, with a pair of shorts I hadn't worn in months. There's no way it got there by itself. The only question is which cat was responsible, and how it got from the box (which I must not have closed properly) into the drawer with the shorts.
So my points (I have points!) are: if you have a pet, the pendant may have been dragged, maybe someplace totally improbable (maybe even impossible). Even if you don't have a pet, things do turn up! (Do check all your trash; I've found things there, too.) If you ate it, it will turn up, too, but it probably would have made its presence known in some way already. :-)
Hope you find it soon!
Sadly, I don't have a pet to blame it on. And, as I lost it whilst I was asleep (I noticed it was missing as soon as I woke up), it just can't have gone far... I have checked the trash, though. My next move might be to vacuum with a stocking over the end of the vacuum cleaner.
A has offered to buy me the matching earrings, though... for dessert. *g*
