This Christmas might be one of the best Christmas's Ever! Maybe it is because we are living in Denver and every winter day always feels like Christmas....but the generosity is high here!
I went to the SAM House and was notified that my child's presents are "Ready for pick up". As I waited outside the room, the Single Volunteers of Denver were wrapping them!
I went to get a nice Stocking for my three year old son and the sign said "please pick 10 items for your son." So I filled the Stocking with cars, trucks, toys, chocolate kisses and candy canes. Then a lady said "Okay the presents are being wrapped. Please help the volunteers label them for your son"
I walked in looking around and saw a huge bag filled with brand new toys! I saw an Electric Train Set from VTech! The I saw a huge box filled with shiny trucks, He got a pair of winter boots from Kohl's and we got a Hungry Hippo's Game too! There were more stuff they were wrapping! All for my son!I felt like I won the lottery! A mom who has an autistic spectrum child knows that she has to constantly keep him or her busy! It is not only gifts for him. It is also gifts for me!!
I truly appreciate this!!! I want to establish a non profit that will buy kids gifts every year! Everyone can donate one gift. It would be easy to do! I would love to donate gifts next year.
I got gifts too. I got the "Jennifer Lopez" Perfume. A lipstick from Elizabeth Arden. Nice sexy Body Lotions from Victoria's Secret. A beautiful Nine West Purse and a 25 dollar gift card!! All from perfect strangers who donated gifts to us. I want to say...THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU again.
My dad and his wife are throwing a Christmas Party for my son this year too! They already brought over 20 presents for him. So already he has 30 presents and it is not even Christmas yet!! Can you believe it? I will have toys for him for years to come.
Not to be outdone my ESTRANGED HUSBAND sent us a Tablet for my son and a new Lap
Top for me! He is still asking us to move back to Florida. But please read my other blog posts on why I will not be able to return at this time. (Hint: An Obnoxious Level of Craziness we can expect if I do return). Well I will report how the Christmas Party goes!
CHRISTMAS 2016: DENVER X MAS IS VERY WONDERFUL AND MEMORABLE!!!
