They didn't show up in pretty wrapping paper or have shiny bows on them, but I was really surprised to get two Christmas presents in the mail on Christmas Eve and one gift on Christmas Day!
I received a small picture of my new grandbaby and my best friend sent me a little book of encouragement. I was on my way to take a shower last night when there was a knock at the door. The nun downstairs brought me a plate from their Christmas luncheon and a Christmas stocking with two grapefruit and three colored sharpie pens.
I was very surprised, because although I always like to give gifts, I don't usually receive them... This year's gifts brought me joy, hope, nourishment, and added color to my life.
I am so blessed. =.)

That was very sweet of that lady to bring you those gifts. I hope your Christmas was wonderful. We all love you here in J-land :) -Missy
Oh, how much a lovely gesture can mean! :)
Grapefruit actually sounds delightful right about now.
I like how you keep your spirits up and do appreciate the blessings. I try to do that myself.
Love the pic... such cuties!
