Not sure if this goes here..

Well this year's been hell and a half. My Grandmother works a part time temp job, we never know if she'll have work the next week. She's been in the hospital for serious things twice and I've started therapy and medication for bipolar disorder.

With all the bills we've rang up this year Christmas wasn't looking too good. We got a tree and put a few gifts under it, about 6. The least we've ever had.

My grandma calls me upstairs Thursday night. I go up and she tells me she heard a loud noise outside, then knocking on the door, then footsteps. So I look outside and there is a stack of presents sitting on our doorstep. :shock:
Look at the tags they are all labeled to either me or her from Santa or Mrs. Clause. So I bring them in and we opened one. Was hand lotion and some other things. Tonight we opened more and I got some new clothes, that actually are the right sizes, and she got a silverware set, that we needed badly, and a new nightgown.

So we're still guessing at who these are from. We know by the fact they got our sizes right and bought things we needed that it is one of her friends. It doesn't matter though who they are from, Christmas is my least favorite holiday but this year just from this act of leaving us gifts like that, showing that someone cares, has made it a lot better.

So ending, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and remember there are some nice caring people left in this world. :)
 
Wow!!!

See - THAT Is the Christmas spirit!!!! <3 It is so sad that we don't often see it anymore - but it is good to know that it still exists.

Merry Christmas Girlie! :twisted:
 
Wow, that is something else!!! Im glad to hear that. My old ass has gotten real sour to x-mas (I dont even call it christmas, yes in RL I actually say"x-mas") but that is a great instance of the true x-mas spirit.

Thank you for sharing that ^^
 
*truly has tears in her eyes*

The above is the true meaning of Christmas. I send money to "Toys for Tots" every year, but what that person did for you is just so much more personal and special.
 
wow that is amazing. Almost like your own guardian angel or something. That made my day, merry belated christmas to all of you!
 
Well to finish up the story, on Christmas we opened the last and biggest gift. Got the paper off and the box open and inside...were 30 little wrapped presents. :shock: They ranged from food items to hair stuff and bath stuff to cat toys for our 3 cats. We figured out it was our old neighbor and her daughter that gave us the presents. :)
 
Actually... it was me...

^_^v Merry Christmas!


jk... but yeah Merry Christmas nonetheless. Wish something like that would happen for me. I've sorta lost the Christmas Spirit T_T.
