thanks This is the thanks that doesn't end...yes it goes on and on my friend 🤣

Santas, I can't thank you like I want to individually but collectively I want to thank each one of you that contributed to my family's Christmas 2024! The ups and downs of this year were enough to give me whiplash but having a community of people like you 👉🏿 and you 👈🏿 and you 👆🏿 has taken some of that heavy impact off of me. I appreciate you all. Even those of us who were unable to be Santas heavily impacted my Christmas by sharing stories, kind words and beautiful pictures! Thank you to those of you that pushed me into the Christmas spirit by encouraging me and by showing compassion.

Please forgive me if anything is not mentioned but thank you for all the gifts!

-Bath Bombs (she used her 1st one today and each one has a little toy inside so she was so excited! Thank you u/ahopefulb3ing

-The stocking stuffers that would not end 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁...this was such an exciting part of our time! She loves the cutesy things that were inside and she especially loved the tasty treats that were in there too! Thank you u/0hn035

-the SpongeBob Kart Racers game...well I guess I have to learn how to play video games now which will make for awesome family time (except my daughter is kind of a sore loser so I have to take it easy on her...or hopefully she will take mercy in me because I'm not a gamer) 😖😊 Thank you u/That_High_Life

-Claw Machine..it looks so fun! Once we get it together, it seems like this will be an awesome competition game. Thank you u/ahopefulb3ing

-Headband Making Kit - she is a princess and an artist so this gift easily sums her up. I know that she will make some beautiful headbands and gift them to others too. Thank you u/That_High_Life

-Zhu Zhu Aquarium Playset - Thank you for fulfilling her wish that she wants a pet! This will be an easy pet that doesn't need to be walked or fed (once we can get it together). Thank you u/That_High_Life

-Fashion Designer Kit - yup, this also sums up Ameena...she will get to design outfits for her dolls and let them hit the runway! Thank you u/bumpythumbs

-Pajamas - love, love, love! Inside zip up pajamas, Barbie and mermaids all in one 🤯 her dreams come true! Thank you u/School_House_Rock

-A mermaid tail blanket. This has to be the most unique gift for the most unique girl! Thank you u/dhsagal

-And wrapping this up with Wrapping paper. Thank you for this kind thought because nice gifts should be wrapped in nice paper! Thank you u/0hn035

And momma got gifts too!

The Oogie Boogie Bag win - I can't say enough about all the love that was put into this collection of bags and scarves. I feel blessed not only by the gift but by the giver. Thank you u/The_Dixco_Bunny

As anxiety was setting in severely because of an incident, 2 people stepped in to keep me from going over the edge! I really love you guys for that. My anxiety and depression hits hard and I never want to do the wrong thing and I take things so personally because I just want to be a good thing in this world so I felt defeated. You saved me from going under. 🥹❤️

And when I felt like I got the boot...well....I was blessed with BOOTS! Snow boots in the impossible size 12. And though I haven't tried them on (it did snow but I was way too sick to go out) there will be plenty of snow to come in CT and they will be with me for years to come. Thank you u/School_House_Rock

And a beautiful time was able to be shared with my daughter at Red Lobster with a gift card gifted by u/SongIcy4058. Thank you, my daughter always begs to sit down and eat but I usually don't have the resources or time. This made for a core memory where my attention was just on her and the food. Thank you for granting a wish that she definitely wanted!

Whoa that was a whole lot and though it was a small Christmas compared to Christmas' past, it is memorable and full of love and complete with the kindness that you all have shown us!

Thank you!
