This year Jeremy and I decided to give anonymously to people in need. Giving secretly was one of the highlights of our Holiday season. We truly felt the Spirit of Christmas by sharing with others. We had no idea we would also receive from others....TWICE! One night we came home to find wrapped presents on our doorstep. I received a cute magnet board and a beautiful illustrated hymn book. Jeremy got a watch - because he never knows what time it is. And Lily got a set of hand painted wooden blocks.
After returning home from Washington we found three stockings on our couch. They were full of wonderful personal gifts for each of us. We know they are from our church friends, but we're not exactly sure which friends. And since the gifts were all marked from "Santa" we figure our friends want to remain anonymous. We were touched by the thoughtfulness "Santa" put into the gifts and we will forever remember this Christmas as the year we tried to give but ended up receiving even more. Which I suppose is what Christmas is all about. Our Savior has given us more than we can ever hope to give; and for that we should all be thankful.
