At the beginning of the month when I went to put my tree up, I made a horrible discovery. All of my Christmas ornaments and lights were gone. I have no idea where the heck they went, the only conclusion we came up with is that they somehow accidentally got thrown away last year. I made a comment on FB that I was upset because I lost all my ornaments and unbeknownst some of my fb friends got together and sent me new ornaments.
As days went by, more and more ornaments showed up and some of them didn't come with a signed card so I didn't even know who all of them were from. I guess some people wanted to be a secret Santa, which is so sweet.
But I decided to put up my tree since I had so many new ornaments.
I have some of the sweetest friends and the fact that they sent me these ornaments means the world to me. How sweet was that? When Ken came out and saw all the ornaments on the tree, even he got a little emotional when he saw me get emotional over it. I can't thank everyone enough for what they did for me.
EDIT: More and more ornaments keep coming so I'm going to keep adding them to this post.
That is awesome that they did that indeed. Great ornaments too.
