I love Christmas. And sure, I do love the spirit of the season, the smell of cookies baking and watching the lights on the tree twinkle. But let’s be honest for a moment. I really do love gifts. The kid in me just still loves unexpected surprises.

And yesterday, we hit the motherload.

My husband has that new job he started. He’s only been there a couple of weeks. He likes it. It seems like a great company but he hasn’t had much time to meet many people yet. So imagine our surprise when they brought him a box of gifts to take home to the family. Each child got a wrapped gift. When the kids opened the gift, it was a very pretty antique looking snow globe and music box. Very nice. And very pretty. And very unexpected.

But wait. There’s more!

But what really caught us by surprise was the little treasure tucked in the bottom of each box. Nestled underneath the tissue paper, shining like a bright yellow star in the sky, was a $50 gift certificate for EACH KID to Toys R Us! Boo Yah! Score one of the new employer! Isn’t that really nice? And for mom and dad, there was a small Christmas cash bonus. Isn’t that cool? I mean the fact he’s only been there 2 weeks and still gets something. True Christmas Spirit.

They also gave him a “welcome” gift basket too which included 2 movie tickets, $25 dollar gift certificate to the local mall, a gift certificate to a local eatery and a box of Godiva Truffles. Only thing missing was the free babysitting!

Not a bad haul. I’m grateful. I guess unexpected surprises still can make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
