Quoted message said:Something unexpected and really nice happened yesterday. Our doorbell rang, and Matt answered it
to find a neighbor bearing a small box of peanut butter buckeye candies! We just moved to MA a few
months ago for new jobs, we haven't really gotten to know the people around here at all.
Anyway, he said he'd been here at Halloween with his kids and remembered that we gave out the
biggest candy of them all. (I don't skimp on Halloween - I go to SAMs club and buy the frigging
largest KING SIZE Twix bars or whatever I can find.) Aside from joking about the large dental
bills this season, he and his family just wanted to wish us a happy holiday!
Isn't that nice? I am really touched. May something equally nice touch you! 😄

Last night, Christmas Eve, we needed to stop for gas. Well, technically I guess you could say it was
Christmas because it was after midnight. In any case, I went in to get a bottle of apple juice and a
bottle of water, and when I went to checkout the man said, "it's on me. Merry Christmas!" It was so
unexpected, and so nice. Made the long drive seem less dreary. Also last night, we were unexpectedly
invited to my FIL's best friends house for Christmas Eve dinner. While there the host's wife
presented my daughter with a scarf she'd made herself, and my son with "skater style" wristbands,
which he of course loved. Again, unexpected and very nice. I hadn't expected them to give any of us
gifts, especially since we'd never met them before. The kids were thrilled though! It was lovely.
