Last Christmas Eve, the man behind me in line was buying six boxes of Fannie Mae Mint Meltaways. (For those of you non-Midwesterners, they are delicious chocolate candies that melt in your mouth). I commented to him about all the memories those candies had for me — my Aunt Ruth would bring a box to our holiday festivities every year, the only time we could enjoy such a delicacy.
He insisted that I take a box home.
I had never met Jerry before and the Meltaways are not cheap. He had six of several other items in his cart, so obviously there was intentionality about his purchase. Yet, he sent me home with the box of candies and a heaping helping of Christmas spirit. I saved the box and will savor the memories long after the mints are gone.
I hope you find — or give — some of that same holiday cheer today. Happy Christmas to you and yours.
