Hello AMHD peeps. It's that time of year again, time to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or whatever it is you celebrate this time of year. I wish you all health and happiness, and of course epic loot. :)
Our Christmas was looking a bit bleak loot wise, but the kids were okay with it, know that things are tight right now.
Well, yesterday that all changed. No I didn't win the lottery. Actually, that's not true, I did!
Yesterday evening Sydney heard someone outside our door. She looked out the window, saw a man with grey/white hair and a beard. He put something in our mail box and left.
She went to retrieve the item after he was gone, and it was a red envelope addressed to the Alty family.
Inside was a computer printed note that read:
The Alty Family
Wishing you the merriest Christmas ever and may 2017 bring you all the happiness and joy that you bring others.
Go out and treat yourselves to a little something extra this holiday season.
Merry Christmas!!
Along with that note was a card with 3 gift cards in it, a $50 gift card for Sydney to her favorite store, a $50 gift card for Jared to his favorite store, and a $100 gift card to Superstore (groceries, clothing, furniture, you name it ) for Rod and me.
No signature, no hint as to who sent it. Our own personal secret Santa.
The most amazing thing is, after thinking long and hard about who could have sent it, I realized how many amazing people I have in my life. I literally have a list of friends that would have done something like this. That alone is just incredible. Feeling truly blessed. Sadly none of them will confess that they did it, and it's driving me crazy. LOL. I'm actually thinking about getting a DNA analysis done on the envelope because they must have licked it closed, just so I can thank them personally.
I hope that all of you are as blessed as my family, and since I do celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas to all of you!
