Of all the things I did this year to get ready for Christmas, my favorite has been playing Santa for my neighbor. They have three young Santa-believers…who have been known to snoop for presents. Too bad they won’t find anything this year because I volunteered to hide their Santa gifts in my basement until they were asleep last night!
And, as long as I had all the goodies, I volunteered to wrap them. Their inquisitive, on-the-border-of-suspicious oldest won’t recognize the paper or the handwriting. My neighbor was thrilled — she said her friend told her she won the “neighbor lottery”!
And I was delighted to have another opportunity to wrap — something I love to do. It’s the merriest thing I have done this season and it cost me nothing.
Whether you are celebrating a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah today, I hope you, too, receive priceless gifts of joy.
