This year, Christmas was made even more exciting with some visits from a Secret Santa. Starting on the 1st day of Christmas, we received a package each morning (for 12 days) on our doorstep. Each gift included a beautiful ornament for the Days of Christmas as well as a gift card.
The first day was a fun surprise and of course we had no idea it would continue, & continue. As the days passed, I became VERY interested in who this Secret Santa could be, and confused as to why anyone would go to such lengths to provide such a creative & generous gift. Kurt even woke early one morning to stake out near the front door and catch the mysterious "nice person". But somehow, they came & left without him noticing....Note: Don't hire Kurt as your next Security guard.
Finally, on Christmas Day, my dear friend Steph revealed herself. This is the same Steph with 4 children & therefore plenty of activities and work to keep her busy with her OWN family, especially this time of year. So why did she do it???? I'm not sure, but she is a wonderful, dear friend who does not cease to amaze me with her selfless acts & giving spirit. She is the type of friend who I'd say, "There's no way it could be"....and in the same breath, "Of course it was her!" Steph, I love you and thank God for your friendship & all of our many memories....now which span nearly 20 years!! How is that possible?
