My husband and I received a wonderful card from our secret santa. It was a perfect match because we are newlyweds (going two years this November) and our secret santa will be celebrating their 25th soon. (Happy early anniversary!) Enclosed was a card and lessons they have learned living together. My husband and I read the card together and was so, SO touched. My husband's brother is getting married later this year, so we thought it would be a great idea for us to pass on the same knowledge you have bestowed upon us. I have typed it out on the bottom for everyone on Reddit to read as well.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts to yours! We have saved your card in our album and I'm sure we will go back to it time to time. Thank you for taking the time in writing such a thoughtful card/letter and making us grateful to have each other.

Hands down, the best card we received!

As promised, this is what our Secret Santa wrote:

Laugh a lot, the alternative is not nearly as pleasant.

Donate your time or what else you may to charitable groups that you believe in.

A house pet of some kind is good for the soul.

Dust is part of life. Keep the clutter to a minimum. Makes everything else easier to clean when you get to it.

Grocery shop and cook together when ever possible.

Pay cash as often as reasonably possible to help keep debts low. Decide thoughtfully between wants and needs.

On kids, use your best judgement. Be their parent, not their friend, let them choose their own friends. Coach, teach, lead, inspire, cheer from the side lines and from your examples, children will find the best lives for themselves and know how to treat others.

Kiss each other good night, even when you are not speaking.

Thank you again!! :D
