So today a surprise arrived. This is the second year I participated in the G+ #Secret Santa and unless someone else is surprising me, it's a gift from my Secret Santa! I am a natural giver (to a fault, my mother says) but getting is fun too. I love surprises but it's been ages since I have been truly surprised. I think the last time was the birth of my daughter. We had no clue!
But the giving part is truly my favorite and give I did. I searched and scoured the G+ Secret Santa list till I found someone who spoke me and then I had some fun. It was all for her kids and I have been in her position. So many other things that NEED to be done and take precedence over gifts. But kids deserve to have a great Christmas so I wanted to help make their holiday that much better. Some years ago a friend helped me out so that my kids had a good Christmas so this is just my way of paying it forward.
May the spirit of giving,
go on through the year.
Bringing love, laughter, hope
and good cheer.
Gifts wrapped with charity,
joy, peace and grace.
Ribboned with happiness,
a tender embrace.
