Wonderful story, Donna! Love that you got to buy toys too. DH and I buy toys and donate them to the Marine Christmas Drive. We have been doing this for years. We are doing the Christmas Tree from work for a couple of years too. Its so fun trying to buy a toy for a little one. I just wish I could see there faces when then open them up.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Tearing up I'm so happy. I read an article in USA Today yesterday about how many of the letters to santa were coming in asking for pratical stuff this year.

Good for you and your co-workers!

I work next to a Kohl's and the deals you can get there just amaze me; I'm always so proud of it! So this is such a happy Christmas story, Donna! What a special person you are!

I love stories like this! Every year I buy groceries for a random person in line, sometimes its a mom with kids or a senior or someone that just looks like they need a break that day. I love the surprise on their faces.
