Secret Santa

I am simply, well, I feel speechless! Santa came early this year!

The other day, I got a sneaky little email. It was from someone who I don't know, telling me to watch for a package in the mail.... hmmm... sounds suspicious! I asked who I should thank for such a surprise, and they only replied, "Consider it from one of Santa's helpers."

So, Santa's helpers have been REALLY busy this year... and thinking of me!

Anyway, last night, my daughter helped me check the mail and inside was a really big box with my name on it! HA! YEAH!!

My whole family stood around as I opened the gift. As I opened this beautiful pink and cream quilted stocking, my husband just says, "Wow, I can't believe someone was so nice to make this for you!"

I KNOW!!

Check out these awesome goodies that were inside...

Pink Candy Canes with crocheted Pink and White snowflakes, Beautiful Blue and White sparkly snowflake punches, a White Chocolate Santa, note paper, a mini Christmas tree pin...

I also got these bath goodies, Christmas Kleenex, and these awesome warm and snuggly sockies! I love it all!!

One of my favorite's is this CUUUUTE little cocoa mug, filled with CHOCOLATES!! you know my kids tried to steal those right away!!

I just want to show the detail of this gorgeous stocking... I love this creamy lace trim!!

So, THANK YOU SANTA'S HELPERS!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!! All I know of your name is "Ties That Bind"... so appropriate.

It's been a rough week for us, as we are still grieving with our friends in Denver... I posted about it a few days ago here. So, this surprise was just so uplifting and really warmed my heart.

It just reminds me that there are really true and kind people out there, who show love in so many ways.

I wish this for all of you as well. I pray that ALL of you are surrounded with love, kindness and a spirit of giving and generosity this Christmas.

Thank you , Thank you,

Thank you TIES THAT BIND!!
