I've been having the busiest summer of my life. Besides having 2 kids in baseball on 2 different teams, my small business has been crazy busy. I was on the fence about joining in on this round of exchanges as a result, but when I noticed it ended on my birthday I figured it would be a nice pick me up during this crazy time.

Shortly after the exchange started I was contacted by my Disney Santa. She said we had similar interests in Disney, so I was really excited to see what she came up with. Late last week she contacted me again to let me know she ordered me something and it would be coming soon. The suspense built...

Yesterday afternoon my kids were helping me load up my car with orders I was shipping out (from my little business) when I noticed a small yellow box on my front porch. It was a minion box from Amazon! I quickly ran it into the house with the idea that I would open it after I got back from the post office...I got about 3 feet away from it and changed my mind. I tore it open to find two wrapped gifts from my Disney Santa.

They were both about the same shape, except one was a little bit thicker. The skinnier of the two said to open first. She also said that she and her family watch this movie every Christmas and she has it memorized. I tore it open to find my very favorite version of A Christmas Carol...A MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL. It really is the best version. Gonzo makes a great Charles Dickens.

The second package was a little heavier. My first thought was YAY a book, but when I opened the tag it said it wasn't exactly a Disney gift, but many Disney experiences could be enjoyed with it. HHMMMM...what could it be?

That's when I opened it to discover a brand new Kindle Fire HD7. !!!!!!!! I had about 20 seconds of stunned astonishment while my brain processed what I had in my hand before I stared jumping up and down and screaming my head off like a crazy person. My kids who were still loading up the car came running in thinking something horrible had happened.

About a month or two ago my first kindle fire had started having battery issues. I had posted on the Kindle page with the hopes someone would know a solution. Someone did have a good tip which helped me get more than 15 minutes of charge out of it, but at best I get 3 or 4 hours before I have to charge it again. polunu seen my post and figured this was the perfect gift for me. Boy was she right!

I'm still a little stunned that a perfect stranger would be willing to spend that much money on me to bring me happiness. I can't even begin to say how thankful I am for such a wonderful Santa. Please know that I fully intend to pay forward the generosity you bestowed upon me. I only hope that I can give someone else a little bit of the joy you gave me with this gift.
