All the stockings were hung....on her decorated door!! Ok! Now I can divulge what my secret mission was that brought me Christmas Spirit! You see her there...standing and grinning from ear to ear? Yep, that was part of it!I rushed to the discount store, scoured the racks and managed to find a door cover, lights, ornaments, hooks and a tiny little tree and then rushed home, singing those Christmas Carols at the top of my lungs. I placed them in a box that included more of MOMS party mix, homemade Christmas Candy, mascara, tea, drink mixes, tape and more goldfish!
That was last Wednesday....usually, it takes 6 full days for my packages to get to her? Not this time! The package arrived in a record 4 days! I think maybe Santa Claus had something to do with it!! See there is more Christmas Spirit!
It's funny but when I told her she could throw it all away when the Christmas season was over, she apologized? Nah, I said! That is why I bought the cheap ones...I never expected her to hang on to any of it. Well, maybe one of the jingle bell ornaments....remember in the Polar Express when you believe you can hear the bells? She told me when she went to pick up the box she heard it jingle! She said she thought to herself, "she didn't" and then she opened the box, and said, "She DID!"
Merry Christmas Airmen Bennett....even though your thousands of miles away from home, we haven't forgotten about you and we think about you and miss you every day! God bless you and keep you safe...and bring you home to us...SOON!!!
