Secret Santa

I really wanted to do 12 days of Christmas, to surprise both neighbors and complete strangers with kindness.
Part of the issue is money, but the bigger issue was time.
I didn't even get decorations put up this year, it's been that unusual.

When at the appt for the ENT with Jace, a stranger did something so unexpected and kind for me.
The dr was way behind and they were having people leave to come back later.
I'd arranged for someone to help with Aidan and Damon, but she had an appt for her own son.
This complete stranger, gave us her spot.  She'd been waiting about 1 1/2hrs already, and was one of the next in line to go back.  So we got out of there in the same time she'd been waiting, and didn't ruin the other appt.

It was a very sweet beginning to this.
The week was filled with major appts, the usual therapy appts, and even a couple surprise dr visits.
This left me no time to spare.
So doing the 12 days of Christmas will have to be done next year I guess.
Hopefully we'll be in a better position all the way around to make it work.

What I ended up doing was putting together some things for a surprise to someone who is such great person.  This person has the kindest heart... and is a particular blessing in our boys' lives.  I'm afraid if I give more details, that person will know I'm talking about them, so I'll stop here.
Just know, this person is wonderful and deserves SO much more, as well as others involved.

We are doing a few more small ones as well.
I wish I could do so much more.
